Today I’m taking part in the series blog tour for The James Ryker Series by Rob Sinclair… next up I’m sharing my review of The Renegade. 

Here’s the blurb:

This mission will test him to his limit…

When a simple surveillance mission goes awry and the key target is kidnapped in broad daylight in a busy London square, James Ryker, a veteran intelligence agent now working for the secretive Joint Intelligence agency, knows he has his work cut out.

Ryker is tasked with figuring out what went wrong. But when his good friend Sam Moreno disappears without a trace, the mission becomes more personal than he could have imagined.

Torn between toeing the government line, and finding the answers he needs, Ryker realises there’s only one way to find those responsible and to punish them… His way.

Review

Where to start!  It feels so good to have another Ryker story. Fans of the author will know the roots of James Ryker, an intelligence agent whose had more than his fair share of trauma in his life… but guys like Ryker only give up when their dead.

The story starts on what seems like a simple mission for Ryker but nothing is ever that simple in Ryker’s world… A surveillance mission turns to kidnap..and worse.. but why?

To ramp up the pressure Ryker is also feeling watched…paranoid.. it’s always good in Ryker’s line of work to trust your gut sometimes…or is he just getting too old for the game? and there’s not just bad guys to watch for now…he’s on home soil.. everyone has a camera these days so he needs to make sure he keeps a low profile.

Ryker goes out on the limb to find out who is behind the kidnapping and why, and the JIA who he works for aren’t the only ones looking to track him down after he kind of goes rogue, all the letters are after him..MI5, MI6 you name it..he’s pissed them off somehow.

To top off the pressure a close acquaintance of Ryker’s goes missing. This friend has a strong connection to Ryker and let’s be fair, not many can call Ryker a friend and stay alive for long.

The puzzle pieces explode in this action packed story as Ryker painstakingly puts things together. It’s gruesome and awesome at the same time..

It’s another cracking read in the life of James Ryker by the author who is a wizard with the wordplay, the flow is so bloody good I found myself reading at midnight, hours had gone by without me noticing.

The Renegade can certainly be read as a standalone if you are new to the author, credit where credits due to the author on that. His plot lines are so easy to follow it’s effortless to jump in whilst at the same time it’s clear to see how much time and attention the author has clearly put into the story to make it flow so easily.. it just suck you in.

For me it was great to be back with Ryker but the addition of Moreno blew my mind, I honestly didn’t think we would see her again and what a comeback!

The writing is a pure joy to read and I love how I drifted off reminiscing about other Ryker adventures along the way!

It’s a brilliant addition to the series for an established character, fans will love it.. quite honestly everyone will love it.

5/5 Stars!
