He was hired by a woman named Jones who cannot be found on the Internet. Seriously, there must be some photo recognition software somewhere that could give this mystery woman some history.

After leaving the Army, McNab developed and maintained a specialist training course for news crews, journalists and members of non-governmental organisations working in hostile environments. He spent time in Hollywood as a technical weapons adviser and trainer on Michael Mann's film Heat. He was also the technical adviser on the 2005 crime film Dirty. [15] [ bettersourceneeded] When McNab joined the army he was found to have the reading age of an eleven-year-old. Shortly before his seventeenth birthday he read his first book, entitled Janet and John. Speaking in 2019, McNab recalled how "I can vividly remember the sense of pride and achievement I felt. It was meant for primary school children but I didn’t care ... From then on I read anything and everything I could get my hands on." [10] Military career [ edit ] He famously remains anonymous. You won’t see his face pictured in the media or on TV, unless he’s in the shadows or behind a book. He even says his Wikipedia entry as Steven Billy Mitchell is wrong.Pike was hired to do a job to steal things. The real job is to steal a cryptocurrency passkey so that someone would get billions. The whole premise is a bit odd. I like the setup of a clever boy forced into a job he didn't choose himself.

Undercover work in the SAS in Northern Ireland, during the height of the Troubles to get intelligence on provisional IRA members, made him a ‘high-value target’, he says. The character of Nathan is so interesting and you really get a good insight into his personality via his growing up years in Newcastle which enables you to understand his motivations. McNab says: "There are literally tens of thousands of people out there, often quite young and from developing countries as well, who find these exploits. I only realised I was doing it for a living when I became a ‘budget’ author, when the publishers could quantify what they were going to sell.”McNab also worked as an instructor on the SAS selection and training team and instructed foreign special forces in counter terrorism, hostage rescue and survival training.

"Bestselling ghostwriter reveals the secret world of the author for hire". The Guardian . Retrieved 16 May 2021. I’ve had so many lunches with producers over the years, who talk about doing a film. That happens all the time. They say everything’s great, but it’s all waffle. What it boils down to, is how much it’s going to cost and who’s going to be in it.”
