Detonator

Nick Stone, Book 17

By: Andy McNab

Narrated by: Paul Thornley

Ex-deniable operator Nick Stone has spent a lifetime in harm's way - but when someone he cares for very deeply is murdered in cold blood, he can no longer just take the pain.

A high-level internecine conflict at the dark heart of the resurgent Russian Empire and an assassin's bullet on an isolated Alpine pass propel him from an apparently run-of-the-mill close-protection task into his most brutal and challenging mission yet.

As the body count increases, Stone becomes one of Europe's most wanted. He must evade the elite police forces of three nations in his pursuit of faceless men who trade in human misery and a lone wolf terrorist who threatens to unleash the Western world's worst nightmare.

Vengeance of the most explosive kind is top of Stone's agenda. The fuse has been ignited - but who really holds the detonator?

It's starting to wear...

As per, the narrator is exceptional. He IS Nick Stone.
<SPOILERS AHEAD... kind of>
Detonator is a captivating, detailed and extremely enjoyable listen with just one exception... the constant loss. We all have to deal with loss of friends and family under various circumstances, and in this regard, given the brutality of Nick Stone's world, the Nick Stone series doesn't shy away from the unrelenting harshness of life. Perhaps this speaks to the author's own background. Fair one. However, as a listener, it's starting to wear. Call it escapism, but I wouldn't mind if Nick could hold onto a few people who anchor him in the good parts of life.

NICK Stone at his best

One of my favorite fictional character, this story is one of the more darker in his books. but as always is amazing.
Awesome work Andy, another masterpiece!
