Silencer by andy mcnab5/24/2023 But trouble has always sought him out, even when he’s trying to keep his head down. Nick Stone is a paid mercenary these days, trying to put his all-guns-blazing days behind him and settle down, now that he’s become a father. In Silencer, McNab brings his favourite ex-military man back for the 15 th time - but no one’s complaining. In other words, you just can’t make this stuff up - and this is one writer who doesn’t need to go further than his own head for a wellspring of insights into the world of covert operations and war. McNab himself has lived an extraordinary life - having served in the army, waging war against the IRA, working as an SAS sergeant for nine years and commanding the distinguished patrol Bravo Two Zero during the Gulf War. The first thing you’re bound to notice about an action thriller author like Andy McNab is the extreme attention to detail - in terms of the kind of weapons used, medical knowledge, escape tactics etc - but that’s because it isn’t so much research showing as it is experience talking. They say truth is stranger than fiction - and I’m inclined to believe it.
