Summary
The thrilling retelling of a real-life hostage rescue mission, by SAS hero and million-selling author, Andy McNab.
It is 2012 and in Northern Afghanistan, an international crisis has erupted.
A group of NGO workers have been kidnapped by local insurgents and are now hidden in a winding mountain region. After attempts to negotiate a deal with the bandits fail, and with the lives of the hostages hanging in the balance, there is only one option...
SAS and Navy SEALs are sent in to find and free them.
The Rescue is the action-packed story of their attempts to save the hostages from almost certain death. Drawing on classified sources and using his own personal insight into the inner-workings of the special forces, Andy McNab gives a thrilling account of this incredible mission.
A heart-pounding true story of covert scouting missions, dangerous parachute drops and fighting to survive in the face of impossible odds, this is Andy McNab like you've never experienced before.

Enjoyed this….
I found this story pretty interesting, although a little predictable. Still worth a listen though, lots of action and detail as usual.

One of his best
Based on true events? Very probably fictionalised somewhat but who cares it was a great listen and a riveting story. Great to hear some new exploits coming out to us. The performance is brilliant especially the use of accents to differentiate the characters. Loved it!

Constant swallowing from the reader
I can’t bear to listen to the reader swallow into the microphone every few minutes. Really dissatisfied with the purchase
