Inspired by his own career as a special forces soldier, Andy
McNab debuts his best-selling series with action-packed, high-octane Remote
Control, a thrilling page turn you won't be able to put down featuring
ex-SAS trooper Nick Stone.
Tough, resourceful, ruthless - as a Special Air Service (SAS)
trooper, Nick Stone was one of the best. Now he's back on the streets. After a
botched mission, the Regiment no longer want his services, but British
Intelligence does - as a deniable operator. It's the dirtiest job in a very,
very dirty world.
In Washington DC, it's about to get dirtier still. On the
apparently routine tail of two terrorists, Stone discovers the bodies of an
ex-SAS officer and his family. Soon he's on the run with the lone survivor of
the bloodbath - a seven-year-old girl. And whilst she can identify the killers,
only Stone can keep them at bay - and solve a mystery whose genesis takes him
back to the most notorious SAS mission in recent history...
Remote Control is
the first of Andy McNab's nineteen Nick Stone thrillers -
bestsellers whose landscape is so compellingly close to the truth that they had
to be vetted by the Ministry of Defense, and could only be published as
fiction...

From the day he was found in a shopping bag on the steps of Guy's Hospital in London, Andy McNab has led an extraordinary life.
As a teenage delinquent, Andy McNab kicked against society. As a young soldier he waged war against the IRA in the streets and fields of South Armagh. As a member of 22 SAS he was at the centre of covert operations for nine years - on five continents. 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.
Since then Andy McNab has become one of the world's best-selling writers, drawing on his insider knowledge and experience. As well as several non-fiction bestsellers including Bravo Two Zero, the biggest selling British work of military history, he is the author of the best-selling Nick Stone and Tom Buckingham thrillers. He has also written a number of books for children.
Besides his writing work, he lectures to security and intelligence agencies in both the USA and UK, works in the film industry advising Hollywood on everything from covert procedure to training civilian actors to act like soldiers. He continues to be a spokesperson and fundraiser for both military and literacy charities.
