The Hunter by Tom WoodMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
I love browsing the shelves at my library looking for great series I might have missed. I recently stuck gold. If you like Orphan X and Evan Smoak by Gregg Hurwitz or Mark Greaney's Gray Man you will love Victor by Tom Wood. The title above is the UK version. In the USA, this first Victor thriller is known as The Killer.
This book is awesome. It is so well written and moves at such a breakneck pace that it is hard to believe this is a first novel. Victor is an assassin. A very good assassin. Victor is tasked with a very easy job in Paris. Kill the target and take the flash drive he has with him. Call your broker and arrange the delivery of said flash drive. Get paid and relax until the next job. But, heading back to his hotel his finely honed instincts notice people around the hotel that look a lot like a kill team. Is it a coincidence that they are at the same hotel he is staying at? Highly unlikely.
This begins The Killer and us our introduction to Victor. And what an introduction.
The plot moves swiftly and has twists and turns galore. What more can you ask of a thriller than Russians, CIA agents, missiles and a beautiful and smart tech wizard.
No spoilers here. Get this book today and begin your journey with one of the coolest characters in thriller fiction today. You might just search out a hardcover for your collection as I did.
