Wolf Six in another adventure. He is contracted to eliminate a South American drug Lord and gets recruited by a face from his past to eliminate further members of the gang. For a hard bitten assassin Wolf Six is strangely charismatic. The characters in this story are believable and likeable. Very much on the side of the assassins. Descriptive where it needs to be and just the right amount of description in the fighting scenes. I'm definitely addicted to the Wolf Six stories as they are well written and, as is good in a book, transport you into a different world. A lot of action in the book with the main characters flying between Venezuela and Argentina and Europe. With thanks to the author,Boldwood Books and Netgalley for the opportunity to read this book.

A fast paced bloody conclusion which takes no prisoners leaving the reader shell shocked , exhausted yet ready for the next life threatening mission Ruslan Akulov embarks upon.

This is the 3rd book in the Wolf Six Thriller series. Wolf Six is notorious in some circles, where his skill as an assassin is second to none. He is a Ukrainian whose real name is Akulov. He is contacted by his operator for a new job, but when he arrives to assassinate the target, he is beaten to it by French DGSE agent Racine. They decide to work together and then join with another Wolf to rescue his family and continue on their path of destruction. They will spend time in South America, as well as Spain. This job gets more and more dangerous, lives are on the line, and there is something else more sinister in the offering. This is another brilliant book by this author. He blends special forces, shootouts, planning, secrets, agencies and a whole lot of firepower as the hunt for the targets progresses around the world. In amongst all of this, he finds the time to focus on the main characters, well, the ones that are on the right side. Although I wouldn't really want to get on the wrong or the right side of any of them! The story flows at a fast rate, and there is hardly any let-up for the teams in play. With any book that involves intelligence or secret service agents, there is one thing that you can trust, and that is that not everyone shares the whole truth. It makes for interesting and exciting reading. This is a book that is full of action, shootouts galore, and is a thriller that I absolutely adored, so I would definitely recommend it.
