Three tons of Saddam Hussein's gold in an unguarded warehouse in Dubai...For two of Nick Stone's closest ex-SAS comrades, it was to have been the perfect, victimless crime. But when they're double-crossed and the robbery goes devastatingly wrong, only Stone can identify his friends' killer and track him down...As one harrowing piece of the complex and sinister jigsaw slots into another, Stone's quest for vengeance becomes a journey to the heart of a chilling conspiracy, to which he and the beautiful Russian investigative journalist with whom he has become ensnared unwittingly hold the key. Ticking like a time-bomb, brimming with terror and threat, Andy McNab's latest Nick Stone adventure is a high-voltage story of corruption, cover-up and blistering suspense - the master thriller writer at his electrifying, unputdownable best.
Rezensionen / Stimmen
"With Exit Wound, McNab has carried the flame of his internationally acclaimed hero to its most breathless destination yet...the language he uses is full of quirky phrases, bullet-bouncing humour and technical savvy...A good, grit-crunching yarn" Sunday Express "Nick Stone is emerging as one of the great all-action characters of recent times. Like his creator, the ex-SAS soldier turned uber agent is unstoppable." Daily Mirror "Ticking like a time-bomb brimming with terror and threat, Andy McNab's latest Nick Stone adventure is a high-voltage story of corruption and cover-up" Yorkshire Evening Post "more sophisticated than his first outing, but with all the brute force and kinetic action we want from him... ensures a lively ride for the reader." Good Book Guide "[Nick] Stone is a deceptively complex action hero who does as good a job as many a newspaper columnist in guiding us through the new global politics." Mail on Sunday

Schweitzer Klassifikation
Andy McNab joined the infantry as a boy soldier. In 1984 he was 'badged' as a member of 22 SAS Regiment and was involved in both covert and overt special operations worldwide. During the Gulf War he commanded Bravo Two Zero, a patrol that, in the words of his commanding officer, 'will remain in regimental history for ever'. Awarded both the Distinguished Conduct Medal (DCM) and Military Medal (MM) during his military career, McNab was the British Army's most highly decorated serving soldier when he finally left the SAS in February 1993. He wrote about his experiences in three books: the phenomenal bestseller Bravo Two Zero, Immediate Action and Seven Troop. He is the author of the bestselling Nick Stone thrillers. Besides his writing work, he lectures to security and intelligence agencies in both the USA and UK. He is a patron of the Help for Heroes campaign. www.andymcnab.co.uk
