ANDY McNAB will be signing BATTLEFIELD 3:  THE RUSSIAN

Forbidden Planet Megastore
179 Shaftesbury Avenue
London WC2H 8JR
Thursday 3rd November 6 – 7pm.

To be published alongside the game, Battlefield 3: The Russian is the best in class – the first time a games publisher has worked so closely with an internationally bestselling author. Never before has a tie-in book benefitted from this level of collaboration from the creative team behind the game itself. Nor has it been written by a thriller writer with such a strong track record and reputation. Displaying all of McNab’s trademark grit, authenticity and insight, Battlefield 3: The Russian is a scorching top-of-the-line military thriller and a heart-stopping race against time. Prepare to be blown away …

NO PHOTOGRAPHY WILL BE PERMITTED DURING THIS EVENT

Bigger and better than ever, the Festival returns for its 62nd year with a heady brew of the best writers, thinkers and agenda-setters brought together for an amazing 10 days of discussions, debates and happenings that will stay with you for ever.
To celebrate 50 years since it was first published, Catch-22 has been selected as this year’s Big Read. It’s a particularly appropriate choice given that its author, Joseph Heller, did his last ever public event at Cheltenham in 1999. Now, admirers of this classic novel, academic Sarah Churchwell, and authors Mohammed Hanif and Andy McNab discuss its enduring appeal. Photography is not permitted at this event.
