Nick Stone is back in the field, this time hunting a target in the sweltering chaos of Panama. The job seems straightforward until a surveillance op goes sideways and Stone finds himself tangled in something far bigger — and far darker — than a simple kill order. As he moves deeper into the jungle and closer to the truth, the line between mission and survival blurs. Andy McNab writes espionage the way only a former SAS operative can: brutal, fast, and unnervingly plausible. This is tradecraft stripped of glamour — sweat, paranoia, and split-second calls that can end badly. The action is relentless, the stakes escalate hard, and Stone remains one of the grittiest antiheroes in the genre. If you're after high-octane military thrillers with zero Hollywood polish, McNab delivers every time.
