Danny Black #5
Warlord
On the border of the United States and Mexico, a war is raging that can never be won by conventional means.
The drug cartels are rampant. Their victims number in the tens of thousands. Men, women and children are butchered in the most obscene ways imaginable. Of all the cartels, the most violent is Los Zetas. Originally made up of former Mexican special forces turned bad, they are perhaps the most ruthless and highly trained criminals in the world.
Which is why only the most ruthless and highly trained operatives can ever hope to be a match for them.
Enter the Regiment.
When the CIA reaches out to the British military for help, SAS legend Danny Black and his team are despatched to give the Zetas a taste of their own medicine. Working deniably and under the radar, their mission is to sow death and mayhem among the cartel, and to coax out from hiding their elusive leader, the iconic Z1.
But as Danny is about to find out, the arm of the cartel is long, their sickening strategies underhand and brutal. And in the dog eat dog world of this clandestine, bloodthirsty war, nothing is ever quite as it seems.
It will take all the SAS team's skill to break through to the heart of the cartel. And even that might not be enough...

Didn't finish it. So predictable. So nothing new. (Of the many scenes of violence I learned nothing new from this former SAS operative about professional or non-professional violence - what a let-down!) Of the many reviews I read here, the one closest to my heart was by Kees van Duyn, who also provides the author's real name (Colin Armstrong). Here are (my translation, from the Dutch - KK) some of his lines : ' Above all, Ryan seems committed to investing his story with the maximum amount of mayhem. He has obviously succeeded, so the reader doesn't risk a moment of boredom. That being said however, more suspense would have made for a better story. Now, in essence it's a flat thriller, devoid of any profundity.' I concur - writing this while only half listening to part two of the (well-read) audio version on Youtube - and abandoning it ... right now.

A Danny Black story. Here he is part of a team sent into Mexico to help take down a drug cartel. On arrival everything goes wrong and it looks like the bad guys are aware of their supposedly secret mission. The SAS team are up against the very worst and it looks like they are on their own.
I quite enjoyed this, it's fairly gritty and not much is held back. I did very much enjoy the wider aspect and involvement of the Regiment itself. This does end slightly oddly and felt like a slight anti-climax but there is still plenty here to enjoy

A good Chris Ryan book. Plenty of action and a good plotline with plenty of twists and turns to keep you guessing about what was going on. The only issue that I had with this was the last 30 pages of the book were entirely predictable. Once it had been revealed who had been doing what and why, there was only one way it was going to end. But overall this is an exciting and action packed adventure story. Good stuff.

De Brit Colin Armstrong maakte deel uit van een SAS-operatie in Irak. Hij wist als enige te ontsnappen en vluchtte naar Syrië. Na zijn militaire carrière, die hij in 1994 beëindigde, wilde hij zijn verhaal over deze wekenlang durende ontsnapping vertellen. Dat deed hij via zijn debuut, De achtste man, dat hij onder het pseudoniem Chris Ryan schreef. Dit was een succes en daardoor het begin van zijn loopbaan als auteur van actiethrillers, waaronder zowel standalones als series. Op 13 november 2018 verscheen Geen genade, waarin SAS’er Danny Black opnieuw mag aantreden.
In het noordoosten van Mexico is Los Zetas, een gevreesd drugskartel, actief. Ze zijn keihard en verantwoordelijk voor een groot aantal slachtoffers, in eigen land, maar ook in de VS. Omdat dit kartel bestaat uit voormalig leden van de Mexicaanse geheime dienst zijn ze bijzonder goed getraind en lastig te grijpen. Op verzoek van de CIA wordt een klein team onder leiding van Danny Black naar de VS gestuurd om van daaruit de beruchte kartelleider Z1 te elimineren. Het wordt geen eenvoudige operatie, vooral als ook nog blijkt dat een verrader hun missie bemoeilijkt.
Bij de boeken van Ryan weet je wat je te wachten staat: actie en - vaak veel - geweld. De auteur is niet voor niets een van de meest toonaangevende auteurs van de actiethriller. Geen genade is hierop geen uitzondering, want de proloog, die zich een paar jaar eerder afspeelt, is heftig, wreed en in wezen ook keihard. Daarmee zet het wel de toon van het verhaal dat laat zien Los Zetas, een drugskartel dat werkelijk bestaat en waarop dit verhaal is geïnspireerd, een nietsontziende, buitengewoon gewelddadige, maar ook goed georganiseerde bende is. De leden van het SAS-team van Danny Black doen daar overigens niet voor onder, want ook zij weten hoe ze met geweld om moeten gaan, maar eveneens hoe ze het kunnen gebruiken. Soms wekken ze zelfs de indruk niets anders te zijn dan een stel kille moordenaars.
Het grootste deel van het verhaal speelt zich in Mexico en de VS af, maar er is ook nog een subplot dat in Engeland plaatsvindt en waarbij een Delta Force-team betrokken is. Hoewel beide verhalen aanvankelijk niets met elkaar te maken lijken te hebben, de lezer kan zich zelfs afvragen waarom er een tweede, maar substantieel kleinere verhaallijn is, blijkt er uiteindelijk wel een raakvlak te zijn. Dat militaire eenheden in de strijd tegen drugs ingezet worden, is op zich niet zo vreemd, maar merkwaardig is wel dat zowel de SAS als de Delta Force op elkaars grondgebied opereren. Dat komt enigszins ongeloofwaardig over. Ook blijft de rol van de Amerikanen, vooral nadat ze hun operatie hebben afgerond, tamelijk onduidelijk. Daarover geeft de auteur geen enkel uitsluitsel meer. Een andere misser van de auteur is dat hij een paar keer twee namen door elkaar haalt. Dit is zo goed als zeker te wijten aan een slordigheid.
Ondanks de veelvuldigheid aan actie en de enorme dosis geweld zijn er, afgezien van enkele verrassende plotwendingen, te weinig spannende momenten. Het lijkt er vooral op dat Ryan zichzelf de opdracht heeft gegeven om zoveel mogelijk spektakel in het verhaal te verwerken. Omdat hij daar zonder meer in is geslaagd, hoeft de lezer zich geen seconde te vervelen. Dat neemt echter niet weg dat meer spanning een sterker verhaal had opgeleverd. Nu is het vooral een platte thriller, waarin iedere diepgang ontbreekt. Ideaal voor wie van actie en geweld houdt, maar wie de voorkeur aan een meer verfijnde thriller geeft, kan Geen genade, dat vertaald is door Marieke van Muijden en Jan van den Berg, beter links laten liggen.

Chris Ryan at his best
Be prepared for your blood-pressure to skyrocket and your heart beating madly from the first page of Warlord where Danny Black and his mates from SAS are fighting vicious drug king of Mexico.
The book is so well written that I felt like I was a part of action witnessing those abominable crimes of inhuman criminals and pain,sorrow and courage of SAS soldiers.
Warlord is the frightening book with action moving very fast, with lots of gruesome details, with a lot of sadness felt by professional soldiers who deal with the dark side of life but who fight and die to defend and protect us all against evil.
Warlord is one of those books which stir your feelings and stay with you for a long time.

They said don't judge a book by its cover. I'm glad I did for this one. First Chris Ryan book I read, now I'm hungry for more.
Interesting to see how some events seems isolated but are actually small puzzle pieces making a complete story, no loose links, no nonsense, no wastage. Truly enjoyable and it is difficult to find a page to stop to take a break.
Felt as if you are part of the operation, and would feel bad leaving your teammates behind.

A crack team of soldiers is sent to Mexico to disrupt the activities of a drugs cartel.
The story and characters were good but the writing was clunky / repetitive – a good edit could have made this a really good book.

I never nitpick novels, it's not my habit. In fact, I intentionally try NOT to nitpick novels. However, this Danny guy is so stupid that I cannot help but comment on his stupidity.
So far I have finished reading 4 Danny Black novels and am currently in the middle of the fifth one. In all the novels, this stupid guy Danny managed to get captured by the enemy. Even when the mission was a gone cause from the very beginning because it was clearly compromised and enemy knows that a team is coming in, and this Danny character knows that the mission is compromised, still this stupid character goes ahead with the mission. Then he manages to get his friends and companions hurt or killed.
On top of that, it is almost never he who initiates the escape attempt. It is always someone else. The author, when writing the thoughts of this guy, always writes: "He would have done this or that if he didn't have 6 guys pointing their guns at him, etc etc." The character never ever does anything.
On top of that, even after escaping, when he is left standing with the last unarmed final enemy guy, he still manages to fail the mission. This Danny character is that stupid.
I don't want to give spoiler alerts, but in the fourth novel, he and his entire team gets captured because of his stupidity. Later, one of his team members initiated the escape attempt while he foolishly stood watching. Then he was left with one single enemy guy, the leader whom he was supposed to capture to complete the mission. In his extreme stupidity, he managed to get that unarmed enemy guy killed.
Almost the same thing happened in prior novels.
Something very similar is happening in the fifth novel also, so far I have read about half of the novel, probably won't finish it.
Only in the first novel did he do something and took the lead. Other than that, based on Danny's intelligence, one can say that Danny doesn't even deserve to be a human, let alone a SAS special operative leading missions. He is stupid as a donkey, probably donkeys have more sense than this Danny character.
Think of some CIA type TV show, where some extremely stupid guy is leading the mission and is getting the hero and others in trouble. That stupid character is Danny in these novels, except that he is also the hero and main character in the novels.
Minus the highly bugging stupidity of this Danny character, I'm still enjoying the stories and the style of writing by this author.
Only because the plots are interesting and only because the author has a good writing style, I am giving this novel a four star.

Danny Black has quickly become a favourite of mine, another addition to my reg reading of Spider Shepherd and Orphan X. Love the way Chris Ryan writes, having gone through similar missions himself.
This book Danny doesn’t seem to be at his sharpest, missing clues and making strategic mistakes that lead to huge consequence. Some as the reader you could clearly see.
The only grip with this book is the ending, the reason I like Black compared to Shepherd sometimes is his lack of compassion for the enemy, but the ending of this book is a little sickening, even when happening to the families of the most brutal people. Sometimes I think a mix of Spider and Black would be the perfect SAS man. Leather and Ryan should do a co-write, interesting to see Spider and Black meet.
Anyways, another good Black book, off to finish 6 and then get into the rotation of waiting for new Spider, Orphan and Black books to release

I’m very partial to SAS novels and while there are many ex-SAS and armed services people who write these kind of novels, Chris Ryan is the best. He writes both stand alone novels as well as a couple of different series; however the Danny Black series is my favourite.
Warlord is another excellent read by Ryan in the Danny Black series. It has a fantastic plot with several twists and turns; and like his other books, I couldn’t put it down. The characters are interesting, clearly a sign of Ryan’s time as a member of the British SAS. Whilst it does help to have read the books in the series before it, it certainly can be read as a stand alone novel. If you like authors like Vince Flynn, you’ll love Chris Ryan. I highly recommend Warlord, along with all of Ryan’s other books.

This is another great book in the Danny Black series. Take a four man SAS team, team them up with a three man CIA team to take on a Mexican drug cartel. Throw in a informer somewhere amongst these seven men and an connection to London crime baron and you the ingredients for an explosive novel. The book is fast paced and unputdownable. The story is fresh and uses all the up to date technology, weapons and vehicles and deals with real life problems that exist today in the southern states and wider of the USA. Read it you will enjoy it.

Danny Black book with war lord
I need to get a physical book. I was stuck at home with the social distancing and work from home. And I have this audio book because I couldn't find this in the local book store.
Regret. I cannot concentrate on this. I know I missed bits and pieces and cannot get the story in my head like I used to when I read the actual words.
Overall, still a good book. Lot of actions. It help to confirm that I need physical copy of book even when I got the audio version.
4 stars. Might get a second chance when my local book store stock up books again.

A good read
I enjoy SAS stories in the main. Obviously the author has a lot to do with my enjoyment. I picked this book because my regular authors did not have anything new.
I found the storyline to be addictive, although I also found the UK action and drama to be a little flat. The hostage taking taking of an old man I found a little tedious and I quick read through it, to get back to the story proper. But if regimented action is what to like then - enjoy.

Poor Danny Black. It never gets any better for him. After all his efforts to save Spud in the earlier books, poor Spud gets blown away for good this time. Not as many dealings with the Regiment this time and where is his old nemesis from the earlier books? No dount he will return. Keep it up Chris. These are good reads.

OMG.....What a compulsive, addictive read from start to finish. There were times when I was conscious of my mouth being open in sheer shock at what I was reading... What an Author Chris Ryan is. Packs more punches than any other author without a doubt. Just starting book 6.

Chris Ryan delivers another fantastic Danny Black novel filled with action. This time, Danny and his team are on the trail of the Mexican cartel who always seem to be one step ahead. One of the best Danny Black novels.

Not a bad book, though always a little reticent reading a ‘series‘ book starting a few books too late.
Interesting story with echoes of Sicario, nicely plotted and just enough characters to not be cardboard.

Would have been 5 stars but there were a couple of spelling mistakes in the book and mixing up characters names of Spike and Spud, which spoiled it for me.
But other than that the story flowed really well, fast pace and action on every page.

'Warlord' by Chris Ryan is a book based on real events. British Special Forces, The SAS, are loaned out to the CIA to stop the flow of heroin entering the US from a violent Mexican drug cartel. Great story, characters & plenty of twists & turns

Brutally factual based military revenge
Tremendous authentic technical story with terrific characters and action so graphic it might be too much for some. But if revenge and justice fuel you this it IT

This is the fifth book in Chris Ryan's 'Danny Black' series, but it can be read as a stand-alone novel, as I did. I like Chris Ryan's books. He writes a good military, action adventure thriller and this was no exception. Set in Mexico, it was a real page turner with lots of action. Black and his comrades are tasked with taking down a drugs cartel, but soon find out to their cost, that someone has sold them out. Warning, this is not a novel for the squeamish.

One of the best yet to date
The story is certainly enticing, with how it started and to see it come to fruit on the edge read with so many unexpected changes. A very very good read. But it you will not be disappointed.

Not as good as the last two.
Mexico/London setting.
Plot try’s hard, but linear and predictable.
There are twists and turns which are good.
One real shocker.
Ultimately though a bit unsatisfying.

I liked this read. There is quite a bit of violence as you would expect from this series. The task for Danny Black and his team is to rescue a child from a Mexican warlord. The problem is that he is in a compound in the middle of Mexico and the British shouldn't really be there, officially.
The warlord does not hesitate to kill, and he is extremely violent.

A very well crafted thriller in the Danny Black universe, including some surprising events. I would definitely recommend this novel.
