Not for me for sure.
A fast paced, bloody and definitely not for retired female readers. Only unmissable for the 20 to 35 male reader. Read the first book and second one too, in this third book hoped Ryker was going to do make me proud to honor his wife. No more Rob Sinclair books for me.

I’m a fan of this series – pure escapism and the character development is brilliant so I do highly recommend reading in order, including the Enemy series.
Mainly I think that I love a good anti-hero and Ryker is definitely that – this time around he’s after revenge but that won’t come easy and as usual with this author it’s a bit of a thrill ride, with added oomph created by the “Silver Wolf” of the title – because we all love a good bad guy right? I KNOW that one is not not just me.
It is easy to get caught up in this – in fact I read it in an afternoon with no problem at all – Mainly I think it’s the “Bourne” vibe of the whole series, a kind of jet setting, hard hitting boom of a read that doesn’t pull punches. I liked that the past pulled on Ryker here, back into the intelligence services vortex, a fascinating underworld.
A huge plus of this series as a whole and this book in particular is the excellent scene setting interspersed with the strong character building both in relationships and personality – intriguing and highly readable, anyone who likes a great thriller that can steal your time in a good bookish way should pick these up.

I am a huge fan of the James Ryker series and after how The Black Hornet finished, which is the second book in the series, I have been dying to catch back up with Ryker to see what happens next.
It is definitely best to read these books in order. Especially as Ryker is on a revenge mission to find out who is behind his wife’s disappearance.
The story takes us to different locations. It’s definitely like a James Bond movie where some parts are set in London and then we are taken to other exotic and fabulous locations where most of us will probably never travel to. It certainly has everything you would expect from a brilliant spy thriller and more.
I have to admit to reading some of this from behind my hands. There are some pretty gruesome parts where I wanted to unsee what I had just read, even Ryker is shocked in one bit which if he is shocked when he is used to seeing horrific things in his line of work then there was no hope for me. Even though it shocked me, it also thrilled me and I couldn’t turn the pages quick enough.
The Silver Wolf is an exciting and thrilling read that sent my heart racing. If a gripping story line with bags of action isn’t enough to tempt you then believe me when I say The Silver Wolf himself will. It was more than worth reading for him alone, which is saying something as I love James Ryker but then there’s nothing better than an exceptional baddie either. An absolute must read for fans of the series.

This is a high action, fast paced story of ex-intelligence agent James Ryker, formerly Carl Logan. After having been alone for most of his life, he had fallen for a woman, Lisa, and pulled out of the agency to make a life with her. Many Ryker took into custody were still after him, and after his best effort to be hidden, his wife is killed. This story follows as Ryker vows he will find who murdered his wife, and kill them.
Needing some behind the scenes help to complete his mission, Ryker agrees to assist his former Agency with work in the area of those he believes responsible for the murder. This is the third book in the James Ryker series, and you could read it alone but is so much better if you read the first two.
I love these adventure/action thrillers, and read them to take my mind off the present time. These books do the trick, great characters, interesting plots and wonderful writing work to pull you into the situation at hand and keep you going through every moment with Ryker!!

Yine film izler gibi heyecanla okudum sonuna kadar. Sadece finallerine pek ısınamadım yazarın. Sanki biraz çabuk toparlıyor gibi geliyor 🤔
Bu arada 2.kitaptaki sorularımın çoğunun cevabını aldım bu kitapta.

Third book in the Ryker series and it’s a belter, Ryker is a brilliant no nonsense character who gets himself in and out of trouble a lot,

This is book 3 in the James Ryker series and the books just get better. There is a reason why they fly up the Amazon charts: hundreds of readers can't be wrong these books are BRILLIANT. I have read all 3 in this series and plan to read Rob's backlist asap.
Carl Logan and Angela were secret service agents and thought they had left it all behind. They reinvented themselves as James and Lisa Ryker. They created a new life together but you can never really escape your past and James was dragged back in to service in The Red Cobra. While he was hunting down the enemy Lisa disappeared and James, having found her body, is now on a hunt for her killer.
James character builds gradually in the previous books but they do work very well as stand-alone although I would recommend reading them in sequence to ensure you get the full enjoyment. James is a well trained and resourceful agent and definitely someone you wouldn’t want as your enemy. As your friend he will always have your back and this is repayed by his seniors who use their powers to extract him from difficult situations.
The book is extremely well written and the reader is gripped from the first page as we are taken on a journey through the underworld of the secret services we all know exist but are very well hidden. It is a very realistic view with tragic consequences among the successes of the actions taken in pursuit of their pray.
In this book his relationship with Willoughby plays a big part and makes the story work. It isn't a romantic relationship, sex doesn’t figure in the lives of these people, it is a relationship built on respect for each other and a commitment to their chosen career. There are some horrific images brought to life in the book that keeps the adrenaline pumping and the pages turning.
Another absolutely brilliant read from an author that never disappoints.
Many thanks to Bloodhound Books, Sarah Hardy and Rob Sinclair for giving me, yet again, the opportunity to read and advance copy .

Thoroughly Entertaining. Rob Sinclair really knows how to write great Action Thrillers. As with all his books, ‘The Silver Wolf’ has a great plot, outstanding characters, and plenty of twists and turns to keep you guessing. James Ryker has become one of my favourite characters, and I’ve really enjoyed the 3 books he has featured in so far.
James Ryker aka Carl Logan had no intention of resting until he finds out who’s responsible for Lisa’s death. Unfortunately, he didn’t have any success in Mexico City, and he almost put his own life in jeopardy. Luckily, he still had his ex-boss Peter Winter from JIA looking out for him. Winter still considered Ryker one of the best intelligence operators he had ever seen, and he would love to have him back working for JIA. Ryker tended to follow his gut in most situations, and do his own thing, which normally worked in his favour, with a lot more successes than failures. Ryker is surprised when Elanor Willoughby pops up again to assist him in tracking down the Silver Wolf. It’s the one name that keeps turning up in their investigation. Of course, they aren’t expecting to find a traitor inside JIA, that is assisting the bad guys. Now Ryker just must stay in one piece, so that he can finally confront the man he really wants to kill. Without doubt, this is a very enjoyable book, and I would certainly recommend it.

İntikam meleği Ryker! Vay be. Ben seriyi ne güzel 3 kitap, bu son, seriyi bitiriyorum sanayım. Daha iki kitap varmış çevrilmemiş. Ryker’ın aksiyonu bitmiyor. Oradan oraya koşturuyor. Bu seri kesinlikle polisiye değil aksiyon serisi. Size verdiği şey adrenalin. Çok fazla koşuşturma ve adam öldürme var. Teoriler döner kafanızda. Ama bir polisiye değil bence. Bir problemi de çok fazla konuşma cümlesi içermesi. Betimleme o kadar az ki. Sürekli karşılıklı diyalog şeklinde akıyor. Bu türün meraklısıysanız okuyun. Yoksa okumanız şart değil.

I can’t believe it’s already Book 3 in the James Ryker series! Rob Sinclair has had an amazing success with this follow up to his Carl Logan books and I love the way they have drawn me out of my comfort zone and become an unexpected guilty pleasure. As usual, as soon as I received my copy I had to read it straight away, not because I was desperate to see what troubles awaited Ryker this time (although I was!!) but because The Grumpy Scotsman had been waiting patiently for his pre-ordered copy and decided he could wait no longer and had to read my copy as soon as I had finished it. I was very good and read it within a couple of days and I certainty didn’t shake my head in disbelief or make comments such as “OMG I can’t believe he just did that!” or “What the hell just happened there!?” because that would have been mean, wouldn’t it?
I have to admit that I didn’t read the Enemy series of books as I had thought that if The Grumpy Scotsman loved them then they wouldn’t be for me. But when Bloodhound Books announced Rob was doing a new series for them featuring James Ryker, I knew I had to check it out as I had just read Robs standalone book Dark Fragments and loved it! These books are action packed, fast paced thrillers with such a fascinating, complex and intriguing hero that you just can’t help but become increasingly involved in his determination to track down the bad guys. As in any great espionage thriller though, sometimes it’s hard to differentiate between the good guys and the bad guys so Ryker is out for revenge but is he searching in the right place?
Rob Sinclair has certainly saved the best till last here (although The Grumpy Scotsman is convinced there will be another James Ryker book coming along soon! It’s his favourite series so please don’t make me have to tell him there will be no more!!!). The narrative moved as rapidly as if it were on a zip wire, sliding quickly but smoothly from one setting to another as Ryker seeks revenge on those responsible for destroying his happiness. As usual there is a high octane chase across the continents as he follows the trail of classified information hoping it will lead him to those ultimately responsible. The plot then zig zagged back to where it all began ending with a final showdown that exploded off the page with some very shocking reveals along the way.
All three James Ryker books can be read as standalone novels but I think that to get the full benefit of Rykers fixation with his, very personal, fight for justice then maybe The Red Cobra and The Black Hornet should be tackled first. I have thoroughly enjoyed every single book and loved the way everything came together here. Rob Sinclair is such a natural storyteller that I became swept away by his characters into another world, completely gripped by the chase and enthralled by the breathtaking action that followed Ryker where ever he went.
If you love The Bourne series then you absolutely have to read The James Ryker series. I promise you won’t be disappointed!
Highly recommended by me!

Ryker is back in a high octane revenge thriller.
In The Silver Wolf revenge is the name of the game in this rip-roaring spy thriller, the latest release by Rob Sinclair. The offering is another stunning tour-de-force by this author whose larger than life characters and devilishly clever plots never fail to deliver.
The reader immediately feels for Ryker, a man tormented by his wife Lisa’s disappearance. He needs to employ all the skills learned from his past as a field operative and then some – at times the situations he finds himself in appear to be insurmountable. The reader is left in no doubt however, as to his determination to make those who hurt her pay the ultimate price. Ryker’s quest for vengeance takes him from Mexico, to London and beyond as he becomes embroiled in a tangled web of illicit criminal activity and the covert work of government operatives, including his old colleagues at the Joint Intelligence Agency.
As the plot progresses all roads lead to the elusive Silver Wolf who appears to have not only played a pivotal role in Ryker’s recent past but the JIA’s current problems. Who is he? Will he succeed in his machinations or will Ryker get to him first? How much collateral damage will there be before Ryker achieves his ultimate goal – if indeed he does? There are scenes of blood and gore aplenty and a number of plot twists, including one major one which I did not see coming, before the book reaches its stunning and bloody denouement. As with other books in the series Rob Sinclair does not shy away from some violent and fairly gruesome scenes as befits the book’s genre!
The novel can be read as a standalone, but if you enjoyed this read I thoroughly recommend reading the other novels featuring the main character – Carl Logan/James Ryker.
Highly recommended for lovers of character driven and high action spy thrillers.
Please note that an ARC of this book was given to me by the author for the purpose of a fair and honest review.

Move over Jason Bourne….Ryker is back! I have said this once and will say it again but when will Ryker hit the movie screen! Jesus this book is so damn good in fact the whole series is. In case you hadn't guessed I am a massive fan of Logan/Ryker. Not only is he hot but he is also a kick ass ex-intelligence agent. Yes I have a character crush on him but there is nothing not to like about him and this series.
The Silver Wolf is the third book is the series.Ryker is on a mission and out for revenge after the disappearance of his wife.The author takes us to Mexico, Italy and good old London in the UK. While we follow Ryker on the Hunt for a mysterious character The Silver Wolf.
OMG what a story….. Once again the author draws you in straight
from the start and doesn't let you go until the very last page. Keeping you on tenter and waiting in anticipation to find out whom the Silver Wolf is. Not only does Ryker NOT know who this character is but neither does the reader. This is one very clever well written plot.
One thing I do love about this series is that it's fast paced and jam packed with action. Keeping you on the edge of your seat but also willing Ryker along at the same time…..Absolutely fantastic stuff.
I do hope this isn't the end for him has I would love to read more, simply because this series is something out of this world.
This is a must read which I cannot recommend enough giving it 5 big fat massive gold stars.
I would like to thank Sarah Hardy at Bloodhound books for inviting me to take part in this epic tour.

Still tormented by the disappearance of his wife, ex-intelligence agent James Ryker sets out on a personal mission of revenge, prepared to go to any lengths in search of the truth.
The trail takes him from the crystal waters of Mexico’s Caribbean coast, back to a place he thought he would never set foot again - his country of birth, England. But there he discovers more than even he bargained for. Stumbling across a terrorist attack targeted against his old employers - the secretive Joint Intelligence Agency - the faint clues to many events in his recent past are all seemingly linked to one mysterious character; The Silver Wolf.
But just who is the Silver Wolf, and why is he hell bent on punishing not just Ryker, but his closest allies at the JIA too?
Has Ryker finally met his match?
The Silver Wolf is a globe-trotting thriller that sees James Ryker at his hard-nosed best as he fights the ghosts of his past. As skilled as Jason Bourne, as no-nonsense as Jack Reacher, James Ryker delivers in another heart-pounding thriller.
This is the third book in a series, which could be read as a standalone, but I think it would be better to read the books in order. I have read the first in the series, but not the second.
This book is fast paced and violent; just what I like! No clues from me as to the plot, I will just say I really enjoyed this book. 4.5*

I have been a huge fan of Rob Sinclair since the first book in the Enemy Trilogy and have read and LOVED each book since. At the end of the third Enemy book I was devastated to say goodbye to one of my favourite action characters, Carl Logan and was over the moon to see him back as James Ryker.
In The Silver Wolf, James Ryker is on a mission to discover the truth behind his wife Lisa’s disappearance. James and Lisa went off radar several years previously to escape their dangerous lifestyles and hoping to start over and lead a normal as possible life.
James, an ex-intelligence agent, finds himself back in the corridors of the JIA and teaming up once again with Eleanor Willoughby, another JIA agent to hunt down The Silver Wolf, the man James believes is responsible for his wife Lisa’s disappearance.
This 5* book is action packed, very fast paced, gritty and intense and pretty violent at times and I highly recommend it, one of those books that are impossible to put down and leave you breathless at the end.
Please, please, please let there be more from this amazing character!!!!

Former JIA Special Operator James Ryker hunts down his wife's killers from his out of the way Pacific Island to Mexico, London and the Lake district in Italy in his relentless pursuit of revenge. This is an excellent international thriller series featuring a James Bond 2.0 character that gets results, one way or another. Highly recommended.

Vengeance most foul!
Carl Logan and Angela Grainger had both been on one too many “jobs” and had resigned from their clandestine organisation. They had changed their names; now known as James and Lisa Ryker, hoping that this new identity in a spot off the beaten track, would allow them to grow old together. They thought that the steps they had taken to hide were sufficient, but then they were not to know that someone Ryker had crossed paths with, would somehow survive and come back to satisfy his insane “justice” by murdering Lisa.
Ryker knows that there is no such thing as forgiveness for this murder and comes out of retirement to make sure that Lisa’s killers get the justice they deserve. With the help of the commander of Joint Intelligence Agency, Peter Winter, he starts hunting the people responsible. Winter does extend some extra help; Eleanor Willoughby, a field agent whom Ryker meets up within Mexico (on the hunt for two men he knows were in the vicinity when Lisa was murdered. They were just small fry in a far bigger organisation).
The hunt for this elusive “Silver Wolf” is going to take him not only back into JIA, but also to an exotic part of Italy; Lake Maggiore.
I have a confession to make; I love James Ryker/Carl Logan. From the first time I met him in “Dance With The Enemy”, I decided that he was a hero with a vulnerable side. Highly intelligent. Someone who would be prepared to lay down his life to save another’s. His training has left him able to tackle some of the planet’s most deviant, deranged and evil people who worm their way into society, causing pain and suffering through all the deals they do whether they be arms smuggling or drugs.
In this storyline, Ryker must use all his training and expertise to hunt down the man responsible for Lisa’s murder. The woman with whom he hoped to grow old.
Rob Sinclair writes with a fluidity that makes the reader feel part of the novel. There were some scenes in this book which left me gasping in shock that a man could do such abhorrent things to others and then switch back into a loving devoted father, but then, if there weren’t people behaving like this, there wouldn’t be any need for Ryker having to hunt them down would there?
My mothering instincts always seem to come alive when I read a book featuring Ryker/Logan. Even more so in this novel. I hoped that there would be a happy ever after for him and Lisa/Angela. I must accept that with his training and the type of job that he does, there will never be anything but more scrapes for him to get into – clearing up more detritus caused by man’s inhumanity to man.
A truly riveting, page-turning, fast-paced thriller. Buy it and read it! This is by far one of 2017’s best thrillers.

Carl Logan and Angela Grainger had both been on one too many “jobs” and had resigned from their clandestine organisation. They had changed their names; now known as James and Lisa Ryker, hoping that this new identity in a spot off the beaten track, would allow them to grow old together. They thought that the steps they had taken to hide were sufficient, but then they were not to know that someone Ryker had crossed paths with, would somehow survive and come back to satisfy his insane “justice” by murdering Lisa.
Ryker knows that there is no such thing as forgiveness for this murder and comes out of retirement to make sure that Lisa’s killers get the justice they deserve. With the help of the commander of Joint Intelligence Agency, Peter Winter, he starts hunting the people responsible. Winter does extend some extra help; Eleanor Willoughby, a field agent whom Ryker meets up within Mexico (on the hunt for two men he knows were in the vicinity when Lisa was murdered. They were just small fry in a far bigger organisation).

4.5*
Following on from The Black Hornet James Ryker is driven by the need to find the person responsible for Lisa’s disappearance and subsequent death. A call from Eleanor Willoughby, a JIA agent who helped Ryker previously, sends him hotfooting it to Mexico. Ryker’s visit to, and his interest in, a certain El Yuca Property has not gone unnoticed.
Meanwhile back in London, Peter Winter, head of the JIA, is keeping a watchful eye on Ryker. Once one of the JIA’s best assets, Ryker is no longer considered a viable option as an operative and has been allowed to retire. The turmoil which seems to surround him isn’t conducive to keeping a cool head. Retirement seemed the best option from both their perspectives. Nevertheless Winter feels an obligation to Ryker for saving his life and would offer help if it was needed.
Poking around in Mexico causes Ryker to become entangled in an ongoing Drug Enforcement Agency investigation and sets him on the trail of the evasive Silver Wolf. The hunt takes him via London, where the JIA are having serious problems of their own, to the beautiful Lake Maggiore in Italy, where he finds much more than he bargained for.
Despite the battle scars he’s collected over the years, Ryker is still tough and determined. Just as well because he’s up against one of the most horrifying villains yet, in another fast paced, action packed and exciting conclusion (or is it?) to the series. It’s going to take all of Ryker’s skill and cunning if he’s to get the better of his enemies.
The (sometimes gruesome) narrative flows well as we follow Ryker from place to place in his search for The Silver Wolf, with engaging writing and realistic dialogue. It has everything you’d want in an espionage thriller – a tight twisty plot, great characters, horrible villains and surprise twists. I could have done without the repeat of a particular torture, but that’s a small point. Well rounded characters drive the story forward and it’s a testament to Rob Sinclair’s writing that it invokes vivid imagery.

Silver Wolf is the next instalment following on from Red Cobra and Black Hornet and wow what a conclusion to the series (or is it?).
James Ryker is back, determined to find out what happened to Lisa and who is responsible for this. He is tormented by the disappearance of his wife and sets out to seek out the truth.
We are taken across to Mexico’s Caribbean coast and back to England (London to be precise). I enjoyed this book and found the scenes set in London really enjoyable as I could relate to them and knew what and where they were on about. I love books set in the UK and particularly books whose locations I know or would love to visit at some stage.
As usual we are taken on a roller coaster ride with Ryker set on finding out what happened and yet still managing to get embroiled in the JIA! We are aware of someone called the Silver Wolf, but who is he and why does he want to hurt Ryker. Is he responsible for what happened to Lisa?
The book is the usual faced paced rollercoaster of a read and one which kept me as a reader turning the pages faster and faster. I loved these books and also the Carl Logan series and cannot wait to see what Rob Sinclair has in store next.
My thanks go to Rob Sinclair and the publishers Bloodhound Books for allowing me read and review a copy. This is my honest and unbiased opinion.

If you’ve read my previous reviews for Rob Sinclair’s Carl Logan / James Ryker books, you’ll know I have a wee (OK rather large) crush on our hero. He is a man on a mission and I love his passion and tenacity! He is my total action man!!
The Silver Wolf sees Ryker chasing the globe trying exact his own version of justice. I have come this far with Rob Sinclair’s action man, I was praying he would find some peace for his tortured soul. This time he’s up against ghosts and spooks. He’s chasing shadows in the only way he can!
Spy / action thrillers are not normally my bag but Rob Sinclair’s writing and characterisation of Ryker has totally captured my imagination since I started this journey with the secret agent back in Dance with the Enemy. Each time I finish a Ryker story, I want more! I can not wait for the next instalment!
If you haven’t read the previous Ryker novels, The Red Cobra and The Black Hornet, I highly recommend you read them before embarking on The Silver Wolf. There is some background given in this action packed thriller but to fully appreciate why Ryker is doing what he’s doing, you really need to know the full extent!
Many thanks to Bloodhound Books for my advanced copy of The Silver Wolf.

A good read, packed full of action.
James Ryker is out for revenge but soon gets tangled up in a job with the intelligence agency he used to work for.
Ryker is a man on a mission but he begrudgingly agrees to help the intelligence agency and at the same tine, try and get his revenge.

The Silver Wolf. Rob Sinclair
Carl Logan, now James Ryker, a clandestine agent who was employed by JIA. An assassin with his government's blessing. Or rather was at one time. His lover has been brutally murdered. He wants revenge, but there is a darker conspiracy lurking in the shadows. An old nemesis he thought was was dead. JIA has agreed to help. This is an absolutely extraordinary read, bursting with action and suspense. I highly recommend.

Adventure all the way
I enjoyed the Ryker series and will probably read/listen to the seven book many more times in the future. This book was action packed as usual and I am looking forward to the next whirlwind ride with this author.

This is the third book in the James Ryker Trilogy. A fabulous action packed series. James Ryker is seeking revenge and to wreak that revenge he must find the Silver Wolf. A compelling, gripping read which leaves you breathless.
March 7, 2018
A brilliant read just like the others were. It was a tough and hard end, but as Rob Sinclair's style is, it's written very well. easy to read and full of emotions. Another easy 5 stars for another of Rob Sinclair's book. Thank you Mr Sinclair for these wonderful books.

The Silver Wolf is book three in the James Ryker series and it has been every bit as fast-paced and full of action as the previous two books. If you love an action thriller then you really need to read these books, if you haven’t already. There is something about Rob Sinclair’s writing that just draws you in from the very first page and compels you to keep turning those pages.
I have half read, half listened to this book (as I recently joined audible) and I have thoroughly enjoyed both versions. I have to say that the narrator chosen for the audible version suits the book perfectly. I could happily listen to his voice all day.
In either version this story is a highly entertaining thriller which would suit the big or small screen. I have probably said before that these books would make a great series or film. I’d love to see Ryker on the big screen!
Without spoiling the previous books for those of you who haven’t read them yet, book three finds Ryker seeking revenge. During his quest for revenge he also finds himself investigating an attack on the JIA (his previous employers). A lot has happened in Ryker’s recent past and one name seems to link them all -The Silver Wolf. But, who is the Silver Wolf and what does he have against Ryker and his colleagues?
I love Ryker’s character. I love his slight cockiness. He’s confident in himself and his abilities, for the most part, but is not at all conceited. He’s still quite mysterious though, although we learn a little bit more about him as the series continues. His story has kept me gripped once again.
I can’t wait to read book four.

I am going to start with the usual series spiel... This book refers to events from the previous books in this series and, although there is a decent amount of (but not too much) catch-up included so, at a push, it can be read as a stand-alone, to get the very best from it I would really advise that you read books one and two first. Also, with how this book ends (no spoilers) and to fully understand where Ryker comes from you would do well reading The Enemy Trilogy too. All five of these books are brilliant in their own rights so to be honest there is no real reason, apart from time, not to. Ok, that's done!
Ryker is still out for someone's blood; the person responsible for his wife Lisa's death. He has a few clues and one of these leads him to Mexico. As he begins his stake-out it soon becomes evident that he is not the only one watching his targets. Turning things round, he interrogates his watchers and becomes, shall we say, embroiled in a terrorist attack, the target of which is his old employer, the JIA, located back in the UK. To say that this irks Ryker more than anything would be an understatement as he has worked really hard to extricate himself from that world. Sadly, once again he has to face his past and go back home. But how small a price will it be to pay to get to his ultimate goal of revenge for Lisa's death?
I make no secret of how much I love this character. I am even warming to his new name! Well, it's been three books now so I guess I really have to play the game. Deep down in my heart though, he'll always be Logan to me but, as I have said in previous reviews, I wont keep banging on about it. Anyway, in this book we see more of him as he was in the Enemy Trilogy. When he was still working for the JIA and I found it rather nice re-connecting with that old world; even if Ryker didn't!
The plot as always is extremely tightly written and executed perfectly with many great action scenes. As per usual some are a little on the graphic side and, as this author is a very visual one for me, I had to take a wee breather several times during reading the book. Well, I did read it cover to cover in a day so it didn't really hurt! The other characters both good, bad, and somewhere in between were all well crafted and came across as very real. These books are set in a world of secrets, lies and duplicity so the majority of the characters are hiding something and their goals and motivations are not always as black and white as in some series so it is always fun trying to work out who is who and what is what and again the author didn't disappoint me in this book, keeping me on my toes throughout.
I am not going to bang on anymore apart from to say that this is definitely in my top 5 series of all time, probably even number one if I thought about it hard enough and had to make a decision so... stop reading this review and read the books already!

Yes, yes, YES! The Silver Wolf is the thriller all thrillers should aspire to be.
There is nothing like a man on a mission and James Ryker is just that. Nothing is going to stand in his way of finding out who killed Lisa. That includes going back to help the JIA, which Ryker worked so hard to distance himself from. While the JIA and Ryker both have different motives , it turns out they have more in common than initially thought. Nothing brings two different people or groups together like a common enemy.
While this book can be read as a standalone, I highly recommend reading the series to really appreciate all it has to offer. The Silver Wolf really brings part of an old storyline full circle. It brought back memories I had while reading previous books. As a reader, I LOVE that.
Overall, I enjoy reading books in a series because of how you can stay with the same characters and follow their story. The only downfall, however, is that after a while I can start to notice patterns within the individual books. That's not always a bad thing, but the element of surprise tends to slowly disappear I've definitely written about this before because I keep waiting for this to happen with this series. However, with each book I am more and more surprised how Sinclair has managed to avoid falling into that repetitive trap. Having followed this series since (nearly) the beginning, I can say that each James Ryker book continues to surprise me in the best way. The books are so fluid it's hard to even notice a break between them.
The Silver Wolf is an intense read that you won't want to stop until you've turned the last page.

We are back with Ryker, he now knows the fate of Lisa and he’s even more determined than ever to make those involved pay no matter the cost.
Ryker used to work for the JIA but not anymore..he’s happy to be a lone wolf on this one but will take any assistance offered if it helps him track down his targets.
While on his personal mission he ends up stumbling upon a much bigger issue and can’t help but be sucked in. His personal mission might not be the same as the JIA’s but while they are of use to him he will continue to do what he does best..cause trouble.
There are some amazing twists to this explosive and gruesome tale..Ryker definitely has a darker edge to him. I must admit this story plays out like a Jason Bourne kind of tale but it’s much more exciting.
The author takes no prisoners.. I’m not going to spoil it but there’s one scene that left speechless and I read it over again a few times thinking – “Oh MY GOD did he really just do that”. Damn it’s good.
The Silver Wolf offers everything you could need in a thriller, it’s dark and heavy hitting which gives it an edge, there’s suspense but plenty of action for the adrenaline junkies, twists all over and I can’t stress enough how amazing the overall plot is.
It was a true pleasure to read, seeing the big picture come together as Ryker but’s the pieces together. The author continues to knocking cracking tales time and time again and delivers every time.
It’s a must read series.

The latest book in the James Ryker trilogy is a great read. I highly recommend it.
The story in this book picks up following the hell Ryker experienced during the events of The Black Hornet.
Now Ryker's worst nightmare becomes all too real once his true love Lisa’s fate is confirmed. Someone is going to pay dearly for what they did to her. Ryker sets out on a bloody mission of revenge, seeking those responsible and heaven help them all once he tracks them down.
On this explosive action filled kick-ass mission, he once again teams up with his sidekick JIA agent Eleanor Willoughby. As the duo travel to Italy, London and Monte Carlo, they will need to figure out the mystery behind the identity of the “Silver Wolf” and how is this all connected to what happened to Lisa?
Along the way, they will cross paths with vicious cronies, crooked agents, ghosts from the past and other friends or foes who have the duo locked in the crosshairs.
Everyone involved in this deadly game of cat and mouse is a potential victim and nobody is safe once the feet, fists of fury and deadly bullets start flying. Everyone will be caught in the crossfire, and will anyone have what it takes to survive when death comes calling?
If you enjoyed the first two books of the Ryker trilogy, do yourself a favor and read this book, you will not be disappointed.
