Ancora più avvincente ed emozionante del precedente, ricco di tensione e dove, ancora una volta, Victor riesce a prevalere nonostante abbia tutto contro.
Un’ultima parte incredibile e, nella realtà, assurda ma raccontata in maniera talmente particolareggiata e con così tanta bravura da far sembrare possibile anche l’impossibile.
Nonostante il personaggio non sia propriamente positivo è riuscito a suscitare in me una notevole curiosità ed empatia.
Una serie che mi ha conquistato e che leggerò tutta. ( )

REALLY good. It's been a long time since I've read an excellent assassin novel. The quote on the front of the book comparing it to Lee Child and Vince Flynn is accurate.

The assassin Victor, our protagonist, is hired by a US government official to do various jobs. But this ends up making Victor a target. The writing is solid and the author, Tom Wood, does an amazing job building Victor. He's much like Jack Reacher in that he's very intuitive and doesn't need lots of tech to figure things out.

I highly recommend this book and look forward to reading more of Wood's work! ( )

Abgebrochen. Es war einfach zu langweilig. Kein Vergleich zum Debütroman. ( )

I picked up this book after reading the blurb and thinking it sounded pretty okay.

Upon getting into it it became apparent it's actually the second in a series, but the brief back story gives you enough information that whilst having not read the first book I likely missed out on some character development I wasn't left with a hollow character. There's enough there for it to be enjoyable on its own.

It's a decently realistic story line in terms of modern subterfuge & counter-terrorism which isn't let down by a lack of technical knowledge or unrealistic encounters which some thrillers succumb too.

Highly recommended. ( )
