Summary
Out on the ice, polar bears aren't the only natural born killers.
Nick Stone is suffering. The two people he cared for most are gone. Thousands of miles away, five ex-servicemen, badly wounded in Afghanistan, are preparing for a trek to the North Pole in an attempt to begin to rebuild their shattered bodies and minds.
When Stone is summoned as close protection for the trek by an old SAS officer, he accepts unthinkingly, desperate for the chance to escape his own misery. They meet at the world's most northerly airport, where the locals are as hard as nails and the polar bear threat makes it against the law not to carry a gun. But it doesn't take long for Stone and his team to discover that neither the bears nor the locals are the most dangerous predators in this part of the world. It is quickly clear to Stone that the coldest war of all is just beginning.

Narrator's voice got on my nerves and the story dragged really not one of his best books by a long way

Reflections in ice and snow
nick Stone regroups in this story about redemption and loss. with of course a lot of getting on the wrong side of bad people.

Great progress
Any additional comments?
As an all time fan of Mcnab's work, especially his Nick Stone novels, I might be bias when saying this book was awesome.
The great thing about it was the different style and storyline Mcnab has chosen compared to his other books. I don't think he has written a book like this before, it's a very different storyline which was refreshing to say the least.
If you like to watch Bear grills or other endurance specialists on TV, you'll love this book. It was a welcome change of pace and the exciting and gripping aspect of Nick Stone's adventures remained constant. Well worth a credit.

not a bad way to kill a weekend
better than the last few. Mmcnabs style has gotten a bit better with age and tends to not follow quite the same formula as much. or at least is more entertaining.
i stopped reading some of the early books as thay were very samey.
good to see he has progressed

Great if you are lost in the cold
I didn't really enjoy this book. I did listen until the end but keep checking to see how much of the story was left to go. It was very good if you are planning a trip to the attic as went into a lot of survival skills, which was interesting but not sure you would want to re-listen to again and again (which is what I like about audio books).
Not much of a plot and I know they were ment to be hard nut soldiers but when every other word was a swear word it got a bit annoying.

Enjoyable until the ending

A Temperature Drop for Nick Stone
I have been an avid consumer of Nick Stone novels, so was keen to snap this new instalment up. I don't know if the temperature got to our protagonist this time, but I found this book very slow. A huge amount of time was spent milling around before the plot really got underway, and the ending was very confusing; relating to some sort of geopolitical subterfuge involving nameless groups from America and the former Soviet Union. I do hope this was a blip, and the next Nick Stone novel gets back to form. On a positive note, Paul Thornley's narration was very good - although as an ex squaddie, I found his pronunciation of REME as 'remy' rather than 'reemy' to be a little irritating!

Another Great Book
Another incredible installment of Andy McNab's Nick Stone, expertly read by Paul Thornley. I couldn't think of anyone better to read these books than Paul, he really brings to life the whole character and adds excitement, humour, and intrigue to every page! I would highly recommend all titles in this series!
