McNab worked with DICE serving as the game's consultant on military tactics for Battlefield 3. [25] He penned a tie-in novel called Battlefield 3: The Russian, which follows the story of a Spetsnaz GRU commando Dmitri "Dima" Mayakovsky and his involvement against the PLR (People's Liberation & Resistance), an Iranian paramilitary insurgent group, as well as his connection to the antagonist. [26] [27] The novel was released on 25 October 2011. [28] Film work [ edit ] Steven Billy Mitchell CBE , DCM , MM (born 28 December 1959), usually known by the pseudonym and pen-name of Andy McNab, is a novelist and former Special Air Service soldier. [1] [2] For me this doesn’t quite clear McNab’s usually high bar, but despite that, Whatever It Takes is still a damn good thriller, with likeable characters, well-thought through scenarios that never totally shattered my suspension of disbelief and for that I’ll happily forgive a premise that didn’t quite live up to its initial promise.

Review

A parer mio, i punti di forza sono senza ombra di dubbio la minuziosa e dettagliata descrizione sia delle scene d’azione che della tecnologia utilizzata, che ti coinvolgono a tal punto che ti senti parte integrante della squadra, e i cliffhanger a conclusione dei brevi capitoli, che aumentano la suspense e la voglia di sapere. A departure from his usual SAS/Soldier genre, this new standalone had me enthralled from the start. In August 2014, McNab was one of 200 public figures who were signatories to a letter to The Guardian expressing their hope that Scotland would vote to remain part of the United Kingdom in September's referendum on that issue.

From the day he was found in a carrier bag on the steps of Guy's Hospital in London, Andy McNab has led an extraordinary life. This is definitely one of his better books. Not one ex sas bloke who forgot to turn his phone off lol.

Whatever It Takes by Andy McNab | Goodreads

Andy McNab has written about his experiences in the SAS in two bestselling books, Bravo Two Zero (1993) and Immediate Action (1995). Bravo Two Zero is the highest selling war book of all time and has sold over 1.7 million copies in the UK. To date it has been published in 17 countries and translated into 16 languages. The CD spoken word version of Bravo Two Zero, narrated by McNab, sold over 60,000 copies and earned a silver disc. The BBC's film of Bravo Two Zero, starring Sean Bean, was shown on primetime BBC 1 television in 1999 and released on DVD in 2000. The story is good in places but overall pieces don't really fit and some of the plot is really out there for Andy. Mr McNabb has done his usual good job of linear storytelling with a bit of action and luxury, but personally, to find out that everyone in the story is performing these massive bouts of self sacrifice all so that the president would be safe if hypothetical global war broke out was a massive disappointment. Andy McNab joined the infantry in 1976 as a boy soldier. In 1984 he was badged as a member of 22 SAS Regiment. He served in B Squadron 22 SAS for ten years and worked on both covert and overt special operations worldwide, including anti-terrorist and anti-drug operations in the Middle and Far East, South and Central America and Northern Ireland.When McNab joined the army he was found to have the reading age of an eleven-year-old. Shortly before his seventeenth birthday he read his first book, entitled Janet and John. Speaking in 2019, McNab recalled how "I can vividly remember the sense of pride and achievement I felt. It was meant for primary school children but I didn’t care ... From then on I read anything and everything I could get my hands on." [10] Military career [ edit ] La narrazione in prima persona e la scrittura scorrevole rendono piacevole la lettura. Unica nota stonata la trama, interessante e ben articolata, ma a mio avviso poco realistica. Ma questo è un mio giudizio personale che nulla toglie al libro nel suo complesso che risulta coinvolgente e appassionante. I liked the story a lot overall. I found one of the twist things was obvious, the later one, not so much but they're vaguely plausible and definitely interesting, if you're into thinking like Dr. Pepper/ What is the worst that can happen?
