Average Rating: 
Rating:  - More real action in each chapter than most authors...
... produce in a lifetime. Mr. McNab's SAS training and the degree to which he absorbed it and can recreate that type of thinking on the page combine to make a nearly unparalleled reading experience. His protagonists are far more capable, observant, knowledgeable, experienced, and (his term) switched-on than any I've met in other books. There is simply no comparison between how Nick Stone here sees, thinks, and works, and how your average thriller author imagines it might go. Last Light is so ... Read More
Rating:  - Last Light
This is the first Andy McNab book that I have read. I doubt I will read another. His writing is not very gripping and the ending is simply a set up for the next book. His repetitive use of some descriptive phrases actually detracted from his writing style. For example, I lost count of the number of times he used the phrase "threw it down my neck" to describe eating. The first time was clever. After ten or so, it became irritating.
Rating: - Nick Stone the Human, not Nick Stone the Soldier
Last Light is the fourth in the series of books written by Andy McNab. The whole series of books is great and this is no exception. Andy McNab obviously decided when writing this book that he needed to give his character some extra depth. In this book we see Nick Stone make some serious human decisions.
After reading this book you come away with a lesson in survival, in a way it teaches you jungle tracking skills and gives you a good insight into how special operations are coordinated. ... Read More
Rating: - Last Light and maybe a lost series
After reading and enjoying Andy McNab�s first two books, Remote Control and Crisis Four with the continuing Nick Stone character I thought I had found a new series. Both were well written featuring interesting characters and plenty of action along with a complex mystery and plot. Andy McNab is a former Commando in the British SAS so he brings an incredible authenticity to the work. When he describes a gun working a certain way or other key details, you know he did not research it off the Internet or ... Read More
Rating: - A good read
Not the most action packed of the Nick Stone books, but I think it's the best. We finally get to see Nick Stone become human and have human reactions. In the other Nick Stone books, he is a bit of a super solider but in Last Light we get a glimpse of the real man. It's well written and the plot twists aren't predictable. I definitely enjoyed it.
