| Plot Summary of Deep Black |
|---|
"In Andy McNab's seventh fictional novel, Nick Stone takes on a job as a minder for Jerry, a newspaper photographer in Baghdad. After the two meet in Sarajevo, Eastern Europe during the war years, they meet in Washington DC. Jerry is after a photograph of an Islamic fundamentalist who is intent on fighting a consumer war rather than a killing war. Nuhanovic, this man, is very elusive, and Jerry expects to find him in Baghdad.
After encounters with the US Army and terrorists, the two find out that Nuhanovic is back in Eastern Europe - just outside Sarajevo. As the two travel through mountainous terrain, aided by Nuhanovic's men they hold out against terrorists in a cave. As they close in on Nuhanovic, Nick Stone realises something about the man, a man he observed in the Bosnian war, which could change the whole mission..."
