About this listen

The first in a BRAND NEW action thriller series from the Wilbur Smith Prize-Shortlisted author Alex Shaw. Perfect for fans of Tom Wood, Vince Flynn and Mark Greaney, this is an explosive action thriller you won’t be able to put down

‘Another excellent stripped-back, razor-edge thriller from Alex Shaw’ - New York Times bestselling author James Swallow

Killing for a living is easy, living for a reason is much harder

Meet Ruslan Akulov.

In the shadowy world of assassins for hire, he is known as ‘Wolf Six’.

A Ukrainian raised in Moscow, conscripted into Russia’s most covert Special Forces unit ‘The Werewolves’, Akulov is full of loathing for the country that built and then broke him. The only rules he follows now are his own.

Unable to shake the guilt of his past, Akulov has made it his business to seek out those who prey upon the innocent. The name Wolf Six is legendary - whispered by those who know it with fear. But when Akulov accidentally thwarts the armed robbery of a Chicago Bank, he pits himself against both the Russian Bratva and the CIA, setting into motion a spiralling sequence of events which will bring his past back to haunt him, and potentially turn his future to ashes…

His mission of retribution takes him from Chicago to Kyiv, to Havana and back into the US, where Akulov must stop at nothing if he is to remain alive. No simple mission, even for the world’s deadliest assassin.

At first i was dubious this was just another spinoff that joined the genre bandwagon. But it has it's own unique story. So if you like all those like Bourne, Reacher, Grey man, Victor the assasin you will like this.

Masterpiece

This was an unstoppable listen, a fast paced thriller that left you wanting a sequel. The skilled author moved well between different periods of time that helped to give more depth to key characters. I came away with a high degree of empathy for the lead character. I will certainly be listening/ reading more from the author. Highly recommended.

Well worth reading and have already ordered book 2. The narration was also great and I think I’ve heard him before.
