About this listen
‘Ever inventive, ever surprising, Hamdy is fast carving a name as one of the most intelligent and gripping thriller writers of our time’ – Peter James, author of Dead Simple.
A daring escape from a Cairo prison.
An assassin who kills with a single touch.
A vicious drug war on the streets of America.
Three seemingly unconnected events strike terror around the world. Convinced they are related, ex-MI6 officer Scott Pearce and his team of mavericks, digital security expert Leila Nahum, and veteran field operative Kyle Wollerton, uncover a chilling plot to unleash a terrifying new toxin on an unsuspecting world.
When an undercover operation goes horribly wrong, Pearce is left in a deadly race against time to stop this lethal new threat. Now he is about to find out he’s not the only one who can light a fire, and his enemies are determined to see the world burn . . .
The second scorching Scott Pearce novel from the Top Ten bestseller Adam Hamdy.

For instance, several sentences are dedicated to explaining how a minor character goes to a club and pulls into a car park that is dark and almost empty. These kinds of overly detailed descriptions just drag the story out to a point where you just want to skip to the next page and get to the "meat" of the story.
Unfortunately, the characters are not deep or relatable, which makes it hard to care what happens. While I think the subject and the central plot are good, the execution was lacking. I genuinely believe that if you were to put this novel into an AI and ask it to reduce it down to 75 chapters, you would probably end up with an exciting and readable book.
For me, it was one of those books I struggled to reach the end of and couldn’t wait for it to be over. It has, regrettably, put me off the author, Adam Hamdy. I read the first book in the series, Black 13, and I thought it was refreshingly different. It also suffered from some weak characters, but the extremely good and highly relevant plot made it a compelling read. Having now struggled through Red Wolves, I don't see myself buying the third book.
Quite disappointing
