REMOTE CONTROL [042-011-4.5]

By: Andy McNab


Synopsis:
Don't expect to see Andy McNab's photograph on the cover of his first
thriller, Remote Control-the former British Special Air Service agent says
both the Colombian drug cartel and the Provisional IRA still have contracts
out on him. His two nonfiction books, Bravo Two Zero and Immediate Action,
give more detail about his prolific past.
Remote Control is the fictional story of an SAS agent named Nick Stone,
who is on the case of two Irish terrorists. He follows them across the
Atlantic to Washington, D.C., but is suddenly ordered back home on the next
available flight. His old mate Kevin Brown, now with the Drug Enforcement
Agency, lives near the airport, so Nick decides to drop in. He finds a
slaughterhouse: Kev, his wife, and youngest daughter have been battered to
death, but daughter Kelly has survived in a special hideout. Prying
information from the shocked child, Nick links the killers to either the
CIA, the DEA, or his own organization-which means that he and Kelly are
virtually on their own. As Nick trundles the spunky youngster from one seedy
motel to another, stuffs her with junk food, and teaches her the rudiments
of spy craft, he also begins to piece together a picture of why Kevin and
his family were killed. There is a connection between a terrorist bomb scare
in Gibraltar in 1988, the Colombian drug cartel, and high-level
intelligence-agency skullduggery. McNab keeps dropping those shiny nuggets
of believability along the trail and winds up holding our attention until
the predictable but satisfying end.
