Book Review - In Bradley Wright’s “Most Wanted” elite CIA counterterrorism operator Alexander King is on a mission in Mexico City when a surprise is left for him in the trunk of his car. The contents will change his life forever, and may very well end his legendary run with the CIA. His entire career has been about saving others but this time it will take everything he’s got just to save himself. Wright did a very nice job with this quick action thriller read - 240 pages. Tight writing, finely tuned characters, well thought out storyline and loads of action, Most Wanted is a ‘surprised’ recommended read. Child trafficking is an emotional subject to discuss but Wright told a well respectable story regarding this difficult subject. I enjoyed this read…

A dead man come to life. Some out to destroy his life. Alexander King and his cohort in crime, Sam need to figure out who is trying to frame him and how they knew he was alive.

As the web of lies are being built, Alexander encounters unwilling help along the way in the form of Lawson Raines as well as old friends.

And whoever is trying to take Alexander down is making it personal.

As with any Alexander King book, body’s are falling and adrenaline is running high. A high octane read. Looking forward to many more.

As with the first two books, love the characters, although at times a bit tiring how hard the author wants to be sure we know how amazing and bonded they are...just gets a bit cliche. Luckily Wright toned down all the references to bourbon - I just don't need another "james bond" type character with all his drinking. The action scenes went on too long and over the top, especially the hand-to-hand fight with Lawson...I mean come on...the body, head, fists cannot withstand that kind of contact in real life with out 1) broken hands and 2) concussions...keep it real man! Otherwise the story was great and fun and fast...quick read. Will read the next :)

Alexander King is Back From The Dead

I love this series by Bradley Wright and this one shows why. Story line is always new while still bringing past characters in to enjoy again. He is not afraid to let the hard things happen and my emotions are always all over the place. I always feel like the storyline has reached a conclusion at the end with the plot lines wrapped up while still wanting more. I can't wait for the next book to come out and Bradley is good about not making us wait too long for it. He is definitely one of my top 5 favorite authors and #1 for suspense.

Most Wanted Bradley Wright

Alexander King has been officially dead for two years. He had to protect his best friend Kyle and family members. Now he is being framed for kidnapping and murdering a U.S. Senators daughter. She was a pawn in the game. A game of revenge. Her father the U.S.Senator has a deep hatred of King. King is now the most wanted man in America and probably the world. Payback is coming. Another excellent read in this series!!!!! Non stop action, intrigue and suspense. Enjoyed immensely!!

This may be Mr. Wright's best Alexander King book. Alex is dead and is working for the CIA in Mexico doing some intel work on one of the drug czars. The next day he wakes up and all of sudden he is a wanted man. Someone wants him to pay, the problem is Alex has no idea who. King has to do everything he can to survive and fight, which he does best.
I loved this book because it starts out fast and doesn't slow down until you finish it. You'll get some surprises as well that set up well for the next King book.
Great job Brad! You hit it out of the park on this one.

What an exciting read. The action is nonstop. You will be holding your breath waiting for the next betrayal and unexpected twist. You will cry at the loss of a loved one. The team is back together and cannot be doing better. Now the world knows X is alive. Not such good news for certain people. I read this in one sitting, it's that great. I am looking forward to the next one. I received an ARC copy for an honest review. It was my pleasure and honor to read this amazing book.

Suit Up!!

We are back in the saddle again and boy was it a wild ride that you are going to want to take. We get thrown into a.King kind of mission, only this time he's the target. The writing as always is just stellar. This is not only a thriller but it is mystery, intrigue and a whole lot of shoot'em up! If you need your Alexander King fix then here it is.So.looking forward to the next installment, it promises to be a dozy!.

Another awesome read!

This guy is the best author I’ve read in a while. My type of story telling. His character development is when the characters are doing their thing. The action starts at page one and continues at breakneck pace till the end.
My problem with this book is I had things to do but figured I’d read another hour. That didn’t work well for me. I started the book this morning around noon and read 9 hours straight and all of a sudden it was over as was my day!

Great book! King and his friends ended up in Mexico where there was child trafficking and someone trying to destroy Kings reputation, then his life.

There was no romance and no swearing AND no swearing from sooo many bad guys is totally ridiculous. IMO.

As for the narration: Jarret Lemaster was simply awesome..

Another winner. Prepare for reading late into the night.

The books are always entertaining and difficult to put down and go to sleep. Well written and full of adventure and excitement. I appreciate the level of friendship and dedication to making the world a better place found in each character and the commitment to one another and helping others.

Amazing

I have read all the King prequel books plus the first 2 of this series. Although I loved them all this in my opinion was the best so far. I could not out of down. One not into giving away story lines in reviews & won't start here. But I highly recommend the King series.. You won't be disappointed.

Good Thriller .

A good thriller that has King while on a mission in Mexico framed for a kidnapping in America. A framing that also reveals that he was not deceased as had been arranged after a previous mission. Uncovering the truth of who was behind the kidnapping and framing took many twists and turns.

Most Wanted starts off relatively slow, but really kicks into afterburner when Alexander King is accused of kidnapping a U.S. senator's daughter while in Mexico City. The story then moves at a fast pace, never letting up straight through to the end. This was my first Bradley Wright novel, and I am looking forward to many more in the future.

Unbelievable!

That’s what this book was from cover to cover. This was not a “marathon” book where the author takes a long time to rope you into the story… No! This was a 100 yard dash with the faster and best running the race! Breakneck speed, Fast, sharp turns and turn arounds… Wow is all I can say. Bradley Wright is one of the Best there is in this genre.

Another thriller by Bradley Wright in the Alexander King series. The reader is drawn in from page one and the action keeps going until the almost final page. Several friends we have seen before help out and the culprit was not someone I saw coming. Fast paced and to the point. Highly recommend reading especially if you have read previous books. Now to continue the series.

EXCELLENT AS THE “KING” ALWAYS IS!

Never a dull moment around Alexander King!! And I love that the gang is back together again!! Lawson should also become a member of “TEAM X”!! Would recommend to anyone needing a little {{cough, cough}} excitement.

Excellent

Alexander King is again another former Navy Seal who fights with the best of them. For a change, you might want to read Ben porter In false assurances, threat bias and subversive addiction. Ben isn’t a former Navy Seal but he stars in a fantastic series of thrillers.

The worst part about this one was it was so short! Or it just seemed short because it was so fast paced. For book 3 it was the best so far! So maybe the author is growing as a writer and it shows. It could’ve used some better editing but the little typos didn’t retract from the story.

If you like action, Alexander King novels are for you. Hardly a page passes without action, drama, tension, and emotion. I'm looking forward to the next installment by Bradley Wright. Highly recommended.

Trouble everywhere.

A simple mission gets very complicated and deadly. As King's team get involved someone may make the ultimate sacrifice. A five star rating for action, plot, and keeping me guessing as what will happen next. If you like hard fast action then read and enjoy.
