"McNab is the best suspense thriller writer to put pen to paper since Alistair MacLean. Remote Control is superb!" --Stephen Coonts, Author of Flight of the Intruder Few writers know the intricate landscape of special operations like Andy McNab. As a member of the crack British elite force, the Special Air Service (SAS), McNab was involved in special operations in the Middle and Far East, South and Central America, and Northern Ireland. During the Gulf War he commanded the eight-man Bravo Two Zero patrol, whose mission was to disable underground communication links between Baghdad and north-west Iraq and destroy mobile scud missile launchers. The patrol infiltrated Iraq in January 1991 but was caught and, after fierce fighting with Iraqi soldiers, was forced to flee Syria on foot. Three of the eight men were killed, one escaped, and four, including McNab, were captured. They were held for six weeks. By the time McNab was released, he had suffered nerve damage to both hands, a dislocated shoulder, kidney and liver damage, and had developed hepatitis. After six months of medical treatment he was back on active service. On leaving the SAS in February 1993, McNab was the British Army's most highly decorated serving soldier. McNab has lectured on counter-terrorism at the FBI's training academy at Quantico, and spent seven months in Hollywood as technical adviser on the Michael Mann movie Heat. Remote Control is the only novel ever to have been called in by the British Ministry of Defence for review. It achieved the number one spot on the Sunday Times (London) bestseller list for seven weeks. Its popularity, combined with that of his two non-fiction books, have made McNab the bestselling author of the 1990s in Britain. "Action-packed and authentic in every detail, it gives us a hero who's at least as scary as the villains. Andy McNab is the real deal and a rare commodity--a hard guy who knows how to write" --John Case, Author of The Genesis Code
