Story
Coming back from war is never easy, as Sergeant Dave Henley’s platoon discovers all too quickly when they return from fighting in Afghanistan. Life at home is very different than on the battlefield – for everyone. When they are summoned back to Helmand to protect the US team assigned to destroy the opium crop, it is almost a relief to the soldiers, if not to their wives, girlfriends, and families, who are turned inside out once more by their men’s sudden departure.

Tough, resourceful, ruthless - as an SAS trooper, Nick Stone was one of the best. Now he's back on the streets. After a botched mission, the Regiment no longer want his services. But British Intelligence does - as a deniable operator. It's the dirtiest job in a very, very dirty world. In Washington, DC, it's about to get dirtier still. On the apparently routine tail of two terrorists, he discovers the bodies of an ex-SAS officer and his family. Soon he's on the run with the lone survivor of the bloodbath - a seven-year-old girl.

As he trains with Northern Ireland Troop, a murder in his family fires him with personal hatred of the IRA.

Even Better Than The Book
- By Chally on 01-02-14
Summary
Two tours of Iraq under his belt, Sergeant Dave Henley has seen something of how modern battles are fought. But nothing can prepare him for the posting to Forward Operating Base Senzhiri, Helmand Province, Afghanistan. This is a warzone like even he's never seen before.
He's in charge of 1 Platoon, a ragbag collection of rookies he must meld into a fighting force, and fast. The Afghanistan conflict is as harsh and unforgiving as the country itself. Their convoy is ambushed before they even reach the FOB, and two of his men are grievously wounded - one scorched beyond recognition, the other left with only one leg.
Back at home, the families of the men - and women - at the front wait anxiously for news. Dave's wife, Jenny, seven months pregnant, must try to hold together the fragile lives of those they left behind, all of whom remain in constant dread of the knock on the door and the visit from the Families Officer, whose job it is to deliver the bad news....
War Torn traces the interwoven stories of one platoon's experience of warfare in the 21st century. Packed with the searing danger and high-octane excitement of modern combat, it also explores the impact of its aftershocks upon the soldiers themselves, and upon those who love them. It will take you straight into the heat of battle - and the hearts of those who are burned by it.

Mcnab out of his comfort zone...
I have all of Andy Mcnabs unabridged audiobooks. I like his attention to detail, his matter of fact writing, and his ability to immerse you in Nick Stone's world with the first person narrative. War torn goes in a completely different direction. The story feels like an TV soap opera, rather than a soldiers eye view of how modern war actually is. Also the story is told 3rd person which takes you away from any action.
This isn't a bad book, it just doesn't feel like Mcnab. It almost feels like Kym Jordan is just using Mcnabs name to win across the target audience. If you're looking for a great Mcnab book get Remote Control or Firewall.
