The Silencer Book Review

The Silencer (The Silencer Series Book 1)

By Mike Ryan

CIA Black Ops agent John Smith is on his latest assignment in London. Little does he know--it'll also be his last. Barely surviving an attack on his life, Smith lays low for six months until he returns to the United States. His flight is strangely diverted to Philadelphia where he meets a mysterious man who already knows about his past and recruits him for a job.

Needing a new identity, Smith becomes Michael Recker. He tries to prevent bad things happening to innocent people while also interacting with several crime factions who are battling for control over the city. All the while, Recker begins to plan his revenge on Agent 17, who is responsible for a heinous act that Recker will never forget.

MY REVIEW

After Mike Recker decided he no longer wanted to be an assassin for the government agency known as Centurion, they put a hit out on him. Mike barely managed to escape, and then stay hidden long enough to heal. They may have failed at eliminating Mike, but his girlfriend, Carrie, was not so lucky. Now all Mike cares about is finding and killing the agent who killed Carrie. In the meantime, he is approached by Mr. Jones, a former consultant with the NSA, with a proposition to work with him. Mr. Jones is able to gain access to information that could protect the average citizen before they become a victim and he needs Mike’s expertise.

This was a great beginning to this series. I liked knowing what happened to Mike in real time, and not having to rely on memories. It was evident that everything is not over from his past and I can see that storyline going in several different ways. It was an interesting plot, with me imagining this as a television detective/crime fighter show. I look forward to reading more stories with Mike and Mr. Jones, and all the friends/associates that they made here in the beginning. To me, these characters truly came to life.
