Filled a few hours - By: Aaron Mulholland, 28 May 2008 
I have read a few McNab books & they don't disappoint although I find they end a bit quickly, plenty of action though a good read.
Good final instalment to excellent series - By: Stampy, 24 Apr 2008 
In perhaps the final chapter in the Boy Soldier series & the sequel to the excellent Avenger, Danny & Fergus have been assigned a mission to find & stop the makers of a deadly new drug.
With its fast paced action & a stronger position for Danny as a professional worker, Meltdown is different & more assertive in its job than the previous books in the series, which makes the forth instalment intriguing & exciting.
Having Danny put in a more distinctive & grown up role shows a different side to the character. This is interesting to read & observe.
However there isn't as much excitement to his character here as there was in previous novels, with him determined to be right & be a professional, though it is understandable given the circumstances.
The plot is consistent & intriguing, exploring the highs & lows of people in the drug industry with plenty of twists & turns in stalll for the characters.
There again is a strong focus on following orders & doing your job, excellent focus from McNab's SAS days. The plot gives an insight into what it is like following orders & going undercover to explore the truth & find & destroy the bad guys & their operations.
Storm was a very interesting character as was her previous boyfriend & the introduction of new characters is something McNab does very well, giving each their own personal story & attitude gives the story more depth & feeling.
Avenger was the best of the series but this is a good follow up with strong action, commitment & a technical minded set, the series was undoubtedly one of the best I have ever read, thank you McNab.

Gutted that I have finished it!!! - By: Mr. S. Pavlou, 16 Oct 2007 Very easy to read, very hard to put down! Being in my mid 30's with the heart & imagination of a teenager this was a dream book for me. I would recommend to any armchair soldier. My only regret is that I did not start at the begining of the Boy Soldier series. I have just ordered the the full set!!! Enjoy...
Not Just for Kids - By: Nigel Tambor, 14 Sep 2007 I was hesitant to try the Boy Soldier books as I thought they were for teenagers. Well they are, but adults who enjoy a quick, fun read will appreciate this one as well. I've read most of his "adult" novels--trying to go through the whole list of his books at greymansland.com, the Andy McNab website--and now I'm going to read his "kids" books too.
Great, fun read for any age group!
Another great book from the boy soldier series - By: C. Flynn, 04 Aug 2007 A very well written fourth novel in an exceptional series of thriller/action books. The first of these books is a must read in order to learn the characters ('Boy Soldier'). 'Avenger' is darker, deeper & even more thought provoking than the previous two novels of the series. The principal characters have developed in such a way as to draw us into their world, & to feel & live every moment of their complex lives, almost as if we were there along side them ourselves! Wonderful stuff!! A great read & a great series. Highly recommended for ages 12 to adult. A true page turner through & through!
