From the Inside Flap:

The best suspense writer to put pen to paper since Alistair MacLean? (Stephen Coonts) follows up the international bestselling Firewall with the most gripping and timely Nick Stone thriller yet.

Drawing on his experience as a member of Britain?s legendary Special Air Service, world-renowned Andy McNab ?delivers authenticity in spades? ( Publishers Weekly). ?McNab?s greatest asset,? according to London?s Sunday Times, ?is that the heart of his fiction is not fiction; other thriller writers do their research, but he has actually been there.?

Top-secret operative Nick Stone has just aborted his assassination assignment at the Houses of Parliament. Once he saw who his target was meant to be, he instinctively pulled out. Now Stone is in a world of trouble. His bosses have handed him a chilling ultimatum: fly to Panama and finish the job he?s just botched, or Kelly, the young orphan in his guardianship, will be killed.

Deep in the sweltering jungle of Central America, Stone quickly finds himself up to his neck in high-stakes action as he closes in on a lethal conspiracy involving Columbian guerrillas, the U.S. government, and Chinese big business. Only Stone can stop an international crisis. Caught in the wrong-headed schemes of world powers, with countless innocent lives hanging in the balance, Stone is forced to make the toughest decision of his life.

About the Author:

Andy McNab is a former member of the British SAS, one of the world's toughest and most respected elite special-forces commando units. Involved in covert and overt operations on five continents, McNab worked alongside Delta Force, the FBI, and the DEA. When he left the regiment in 1993, he was the most highly decorated serving soldier in the British Army. He is now a sought-after lecturer on security and remains closely tied to the intelligence communities on both sides of the Atlantic.

McNab is the bestselling author of Liberation Day, Firewall, Crisis Four, and Remote Control, all featuring Nick Stone, as well as two nonfiction books based on his SAS experiences. Due to the extremely sensitive nature of his work with the SAS, Andy McNab is the only author who has to submit his fiction to the British Ministry of Defense for review, and he is still wanted by a number of the world's terrorist organizations. He is therefore forbidden to reveal either his face or his current location.
