amazing as always.

A great book in full Mcnab style. I have read most of his books but his way of making quite internal military stuff mix with splendid action is amazing as always.

Revenge is Sweet

Danny and Fergus are on the run again! This time they are trying to get Fergus's name cleared from the Secret Intelligent Service. He was framed when he was working with the SAS, and George Fincham wants to kill him now because he doesn't want anybody to know the real story. Danny is Fergus's grandson who helps the old SAS sergeant clear his name. Andy McNab and Robert Rigby made you feel like you were watching what was unraveling in the book. The action and all the moving around in the book keeps you hungry to keep reading. This book always keeps you on the edge of your seat. Danny and his grandpa are usually one step ahead of the Secret Intelligent spies who are trying to kill them wherever they are. Marcie Deveraux, a woman who works for the Secret Intelligace Service, is constantly changing sides on who she wants to help. She can help Danny and gramps, or she can help the Secret Intelligence Service. She adds a constant twist to the book because she is always shooting at something or someone, so everyone better watch out for her. Fergus and Danny have to worry about her, and they have to worry about teenage suicide bombers that have been popping up everywhere. However, Danny's girlfriend is constantly helping these two escape from danger. What would you do if you were in all of this mass chaos that Danny and Fergus are in? I know I wouldn't know what to do. In addition to all of this intensity, Danny and Fergus were constantly moving around from place to place in this book. They had to travel on foot for most of this story, so Fergus had to think of many great places to hide when the Secret Intelligence Service was on their heels. Fergus camped down in a national forest with Danny after he, Fergus, had been shot in the leg. Fergus hid himself in some pine trees where no one could see him. These two convicts, who are on the run, also broke into highly guarded areas. Danny broke into an army facility that had guards with machine guns and ferocious guard dogs. He did this just to clear his grandfather's name from the Secret Intelligence Service. This book was well written by the authors to the point where you could not stop reading it because there was always a critical turning point in the story. This book is interesting and keeps you wondering what's going to happen next. This book was a great sequel to Traitor because you are always biting your nails with all of the action happening.
