Product Description

From Publishers Weekly

Former British SAS agent Nick Stone sets his sights on al-Qaida in his fifth adventure (after Last Light), a search-and-capture mission weighed down by excessive detail and a numbing lack of action. Stone, now working for a special antiterrorist U.S. strike team, is assigned to the south of France to choke off al-Qaida's money line. Stone has taken the job reluctantly. He wants to retire, but the CIA has promised him U.S. citizenship and a new life with the woman he loves if he completes the task. On arrival in Cannes, Stone hooks up with two Egyptian sidekicks, and the trio begin tracking down the so-called hawalla, the secret network of underground bankers who finance terrorist operations and compensate the families of those who die in the cause. Specifically, Stone's job is to kidnap three of the bankers and whisk them to a U.S. warship just off the French coast, where they will be interrogated and forced to reveal the origin and destination of their money. As is his custom, Stone takes the beating of his life, but perseveres in the face of overwhelming odds. McNab, a British special forces member for more than a decade, is at his best when the action gets hairy, as it finally does toward the end. Too much of his latest, however, is spent following Stone through the mundane details of mission preparation-staking out locations, following suspects, ruminating about possible scenarios. Instead of biting their nails, readers will be staring at them absently, bored by the colorless plot.

Review

Kirkus Reviews

McNab writes like a dream...throat-clutching action, authentic scenarios, spectacular precision.



John Case

Author of the New York Times bestseller The Genesis Code

McNab is the real deal and a rare commodity -- a hard guy who knows how to write.

1.0 out of 5 stars Low-brow nihilistic rubbish, Sep 11 2009
By R. Petersen (B.C. Canada) - See all my reviews
I picked this book up in transit for lack of anything better. The main character is a hired killer. He doesn't care why or who he kills. He gets to be a "freshly minted" U.S. citizen if he succeeds with the killing. The writing is terse, ironic, and inhumane. If you're looking for action-packed fiction written for doughheads, you're welcome to my copy.

4.0 out of 5 stars not so great, but worth a read, Mar 20 2004
This is surely not one of the best books of Andy McNab.
Liberation Day is a funny book with nice characters and Humour.
The Story is not so great as Crisis Four or Firewall, but it's a good read and worth the money.

2.0 out of 5 stars My first and unfortunately last Andy McNab novel
Um, sorry but that was not very good. My main complaint was the editing. The publisher needs to get on top of things. Read more

2.0 out of 5 stars Not up with the others
A flat read. The technical expertise is still there, but the dry sense of humour and British slang which grabbed me with Remote Control is long gone. Where, who knows... Read more
