Crossfire

Under Siege by Invisible Enemies

Crossfire by Andy McNab (2008, Corgi Books) throws former SAS operative Nick Stone into a lethal maze of betrayal and political subterfuge. Tasked with protecting millionaire philanthropist James Radcliff from a shadowy cabal intent on his assassination, Stone navigates a world where allies vanish, every contact is a potential traitor, and a single misstep means certain death. McNab’s terse, visceral prose spares no detail in depicting the high-stakes paranoia of covert operations.

Firepower, Foresight, and Fractured Loyalties

As the ambushes escalate and Radcliff’s own secrets come to light, Stone must rely on ruthless efficiency and unyielding resolve. From rooftop watches in London to desperate chases through European backstreets, each firefight and close-quarters showdown tests his razor-sharp instincts. Yet Stone’s greatest adversary may be the ambiguity of his mission: balancing the soldier’s duty with the conscience of a man who’s seen too much.

Darkly authentic and pulse-pounding, Crossfire refuses to offer easy heroes or tidy resolutions. It’s an unflinching look at the raw mechanics of modern warfare, where survival demands more than firepower—it demands unwavering focus and the willingness to confront the ghosts you carry into every fight.
