Besides his writing work, he lectures to security and intelligence agencies in both the USA and UK.
Reviews
You had better fasten your seatbelts, for this book is one hell of a ride! ... If future DropZone books are as well written then Mr McNab may well have created a series to rival Muchamore’s CHERUB.,McNab has another hit on his hands, this tale is a cracker. Buy it for a teenager today.,the action sequences are adrenaline-pumping
McNab is brilliant at describing the exhilarating feeling of falling from an airplane at 12,000 feet.
Reaching speeds of 120 mph, you really do need to pull that cord at the right time! Can you take the pressure?
