About this listen

Think you know the SAS?

Think again....

From number one best-selling SAS hero Chris Ryan comes Manhunter: the first book in an explosive new series featuring Josh Bowman, a battle-worn Regiment soldier hand-picked to join a shadowy unit within the SAS.

When foreign governments act like gangsters, a new kind of SAS is needed....

In London, assassins carry out a deadly chemical weapons attack at the royal wedding. All the signs point to a Kremlin-sanctioned hit. Their victim: a notorious mobster.

'The Cell' is a shadowy unit within the SAS, dedicated to fighting global organised crime. In a world where the Russian government is the real mob, it's the job of the Cell to defend British interests at home and abroad. Only the elite are selected; only the very best will survive. For SAS Staff Sergeant Josh Bowman, whose young family was brutally murdered by an Albanian crime gang, it's a chance for revenge—and to bury his secret opioid addiction.

But the Russians have only just begun. When the Cell uncovers a sinister plot against a British-backed tyrant in Africa, they are quickly drawn into a deadly race against time. Soon they find themselves fighting a terrifying enemy in a brutal fight to the death.

Outnumbered, outgunned and with no military support, Bowman and his comrades are all that stand between Moscow and ultimate victory....

It’s not Chris Ryan’s best work, if you aren’t familiar the Danny Black books are the best to start with. Saying that, he’s an incredible author and I loved every minute of this.

In a league of his own, but not his best work

Chris Ryan at his very best with another new character.
A real good story line plus a new division for the team to be working in and all the drama and excitement you’d expect from a Chris Ryan book.
Highly recommend listening and cannot wait for the next on this series

Great story well told

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.

The only criticism is that the narrator spoke a little too slow for my liking. Great at accents, though.

Engaging
