The Hunter by Tom WoodMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
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.
