“The Wire” is a shorter story in the Agent 21 series that keeps the tension high. It focuses on a specific mission and delivers the same gritty realism Chris Ryan is known for. The pace is quick, and the danger feels immediate.
As a novella, it doesn’t give as much depth as the main novels, but it works well as a bonus adventure. Fans of the series will appreciate the extra dose of action.
