Ian Hale #0
The Wrath of Wolves
A downed plane. A covert recovery mission. Secrets worth killing for.
Ian Hale is Sentinel’s top operator—the one sent in when missions go sideways. When a corporate jet disappears over the jungles of southern Colombia, Hale and his partner, Dutch, deploy on a silent HALO insertion to search for survivors and recover any sensitive intelligence.
But the crash site holds a surprise: a lone survivor who wasn’t on the manifest. Worse, a brutal jungle militia is already hunting the wreckage, determined to seize a high-value prototype lost in the rainforest—technology powerful enough to change the world.
Cut off, low on supplies, and deep in hostile territory, Hale must keep his team alive and the asset secure as enemies close in. Their only hope is a dangerous extraction miles away—and the hunters are gaining ground.
The wolves are loose. But Ian Hale never quits a mission.

The Wrath of Wolves is a neat prequel in the Ian Hale series by Logan Ryles. I got this one for free from his website, thanks for that. This is another great series from this author. I found the author through his Mason Sharpe series and was hooked from the first page. Then he came with this new series about ian Hale ex soldier andformer Sentinel employee. He goes where most others will not to solve situations that most wouldn't touch with a ten foot pole. This mission into Colombia takes an unexpected twist from the start and then it's mayhem and action until the end. Great stuff, I recommend it.

This is a fast-paced military thriller featuring Ian Hale, an elite former military operator working for a private security organization called Sentinel. When a corporate jet disappears over the jungles of southern Colombia, Hale and his partner, Dutch, are sent on a covert recovery mission to locate survivors and retrieve sensitive intelligence. However, the crash site holds an unexpected survivor who was never listed on the flight manifest, while a ruthless jungle militia is closing in to capture a highly valuable technological prototype hidden among the wreckage. Stranded deep in hostile territory with limited supplies and enemies surrounding them, Hale must fight to protect his team, secure the mysterious asset, and orchestrate a dangerous extraction.
This was a very well-written book. I was hooked by the fast-paced storyline, intense action, and the constant feeling that danger was lurking around every corner. Ian Hale is a terrific lead character, and I really enjoyed watching him navigate an increasingly dangerous situation with courage, determination, and resourcefulness. The jungle setting adds another layer of tension, making the entire story feel like a high-stakes survival mission. I particularly enjoyed the combination of military action, suspense, and unexpected twists. This is exactly the kind of book I enjoy: engaging characters, plenty of adrenaline, and a story that keeps you turning pages. Five stars and highly recommended!

Head up, action-thriller fans! This prequel to the Ian Hale series is an excellent reason to join Logan Ryles' mailing list right now.
The story follows Hale on a high-stakes rescue mission through the jungle during his post-military career as a private contractor. As expected, the situation is far from straightforward; Hale and his partner face unexpected surprises while trying to protect valuable secrets and rescue a civilian they didn't anticipate finding.
The novella is packed with non-stop action in a fast-paced, compressed format. It is a thrilling journey that perfectly sets the stage for the rest of the series. I highly recommend checking it out through the link below - you won't regret it!

IAN HALE THRILLER Series:

THE WRATH OF WOLVES, Novella - Interesting, quick read. Action packed. Good characters. 4*
LINE OF FIRE, #1 - They shouldn't have done that, and that, and that. Then, they do stupid again. It's no wonder Ian reacted as he did. Plenty of action, plenty of 'why did they open another can', and plenty of family history. This is a great start to a new series by one of my favorite writers, complete with interesting story lines, good characters, international locations, and family. I am interested in what happens in the next book. 5*
PATH OF TERROR, #2 - Plenty of good and bad stuff happening along with the interesting story lines, good and bad characters, and the Calvary just when .... 5*

A great read, non-stop action. This was a new character for me, Ian Hale. However, I am very familiar with the author Logan Ryles. He never disappoints. I have read many of his books and enjoyed several different characters. I will now read, Line of Fire. This will be book 1 of the Ian Hale series. I am really looking forward to the journey. Five stars for this fast paced introductory novella ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
