Fierce authentic action, masterful storytelling and a touchingly moving friendship combine in this gripping novel of suspense and revenge, set in an Italy plagued by kidnapping. Washed-up, a near alcoholic, ex-mercenary Creasy takes on the job of guarding the 11 year old daughter of an Italian industrialist. Delightful and intelligent, she penetrates his embittered cynicism to become his friend. Then something terrible happens that fills Creasy with a deadly and unforgiving anger. And the story explodes in a phenomenal tale of training and preparation, vengeance and execution as, armed with a formidable weaponry, Creasy wages a personal war on a powerful and evil enemy.

Broken down, alcoholic, Creasy is offereda position as a bodyguard for a wealthy Italian industrialist's adolescent daughter.When the daughter is kidnapped, all hell breaks loose in this novel of redemption and ultimate revenge.There are no better books in this genre. It is an absolute travesty that any of Quinnell's books are out of print. All of them are fantastic. I spent six months buying out-of-print books to get the entire Creasy collection (plus the non-Creasy titles, which are also very, very well done).

Not suprised to see it revived as a movie and the novel re-released in this the age of seeking swift and hard justice from those that commit evil. The book deals with loyalty, redemption and revenge: Creasy, an ex-Para of the Foreign Legion and a veteran of numerous mercenary wars in Africa is unemployed, bitter and devoid of emotion or humanity when he visit an old Legion buddy. His friend gets him a job as a body gaurd to a young girl in kidnapping mad Italy. Over time a warm relationship develops between Creasy and the girl and the old mercenary begins to find his humanity again. Things then get ugly and Creasy goes on a trail of brutal revenge through Italy that makes Tarantino's "Kill Bill" look sedate.The first movie version of "Man on Fire" (1988)barely did justice to the book and from reviews I've read, neither does the 2004 version.

As both a former French Foreign Legionnaire and body guard - as is the main character in the book - I can say the Mr Quinnell is right on target with this book. So many novels nowadays disapoint professionals - revolvers with silencers etc etc. - but this one is on the money. I can only wonder if the author wasn't in the Legion at some point and/or a body guard. Do yourself a favor, if you can get hold of a copy, do it and read it...you won't regret it.
