About this listen

An impossible mission, for a man who barely exists.

The mysterious assassin known only as Victor is locked in an uneasy alliance with the CIA. And he has a list: Three names, three victims. Worst of all, Victor is given just two days to take down his targets, forcing him to compromise his usual extreme care.

With each name Victor crosses off his list, the game grows far more complex - and far more lethal. A conspiracy begins to unwind and suddenly this perfect assassin becomes the perfect target.

Zooming from Moscow to London and Washington, and loaded with suspense, twists and sex appeal, The Enemy is a high-octane thrill-ride ideal for fans of Lee Child.

Fast paced action throughout, crossing continents. Full of twists and tight corners for the assassin to extricate from. Very well narrated.

Brilliant

How Tom Wood makes his readers care so much about a hired killer is a mystery but we do care and I found myself rooting for Victor. I enjoyed seeing the different facets of the characters lives. The only bits I would cut down on are the exhaustive descriptions of the weapons' capabilities. These do tend to stall the story's momentum. However that is a small niggle really and it hasn't stopped me reading the second book straight after finishing the first! I'm looking forward to reading the next instalment in the near future...

Anti hero supreme
