Nick Stone fall in love and walked into a war zone

Recoil - Andy McNab

Nick Stone was at a war zone doing a job. When shit hits the fans, the CO walked out and left some of the team mates behind. 

 

Now he quit his job and travelling in Australia. Meeting a woman he loves and want to pop the question. Only she was running away into a war zone to be a doctor. 

 

It was a mine and there was lot of money involved. The on-going fights involved the use of child soldiers. Nick was protective of children, and so was his former team mate Sam.

 

Now when he finds out his lover went to a dangerous place, he follows her. 

 

Thanks goodness this is not a romantic novel. As there is nothing sexy or even kisses involved in this one. No relationship talk or such thing. 

 

It was dirty, muddy and I could only imagine how the air or the person smell light after a few days with little water to drink, meaning no water for washing. 

 

There is a lot of action involving guns and explosive. It is very satisfying that his guilt of not able to save a child earlier on get a second chance of having this child survived. The bad guys are the greedy persons with no regards to human lives. That's make all the different in a complicated situation involved that much guns and chaos. 

 

Fun read.
