Review # 1 was written on 2017-01-23 00:00:00 Arturo Delrio The Hunter is the debut book and the 1st in Tom Wood's Victor the Assassin Series. The series revolves around Victor, a ruthless and deadly but actually rather a nice guy who just happens to kill people for money......a freelance assassin, with no past and no home, a loner - the total antihero hitman. Carrying out his latest assignment in Paris, he finds himself being chased across Europe by killers who have been assigned to take him out. Pursued by enemies............CIA, Russian SVR, MI6, French Secret Service...he has to use all his talents to keep ahead of them and try to find out who wants him dead and why. Victor goes from being the hunter to now being the hunted!!! Non-stop action.............guns, shoot-outs, good guys, bad guys......Explosive car chases, .... action packed with nail-biting fighting and shooting sequences .........a total frenzy of kill or be killed!!!! What I found interesting was how the author created such an likeable and appealing hero.........this is a man who kills for money and yet I found something human in him. Most of the secondary characters are not very likeable.....arms dealers, killers, double agents......... Jason Bourne, Jack Bauer and Jack Reacher - Victor is all three of them in one!!!! This is a guy I want to find out more about...........so having enjoyed meeting Victor, I am now going onto his next adventure/assignment .....The Enemy.

Review # 2 was written on 2014-11-19 00:00:00 Raquel Jordan Victor is an assassin at the top of his game. After an all too simple job in Paris, a hit-squad is sent to kill Victor but the only man who knows where he is, sent him to Paris in the first place. Betrayed and out in the open, Victor has turned from the hunter into the hunted for the first time in his life. Running across Europe, he desperately tries to unravel the conspiracy against him, but how high does the rot go? Will he manage to survive long enough to piece together the big picture? Time will tell... This has to be one of the fastest paced books I have read, in fact one of the best books I have ever read, full stop. Victor is Bourne, Reacher, Bond on Speed! This books is superbly written, with really great action, fantastic characters, strong plot and twists, great hints of humour between female character and Victor. I couldn't put it down and the end of the book had me gasping for breath to see who was going to survive, with so many powerful characters, with great international settings, from France, UK, USA, Russia, Cyprus just great international plot. This author has become one of my favourites after only reading two of his books. Love, love this book..Highly recommended.
