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....

I've read quite a few CR books and this is my favourite of the novels. Good storyline, great dialogue and plenty of special ops information. Credit to narrator Paul Thornley for bringing the charachters to life with an array of great accents, timbres and tones.

One of the best

A good plot with good attention to detail.
A little difficult to listen to with the broken timbre of the narration. the story doesn’t flow very well. Paul worked very hard on all the accents which made identifying the characters easier. Ill try the next book in the series and see if it flows better. :-)

The story is quite good. But a little difficult to listen to with the broken timbre of the narration.

If you like Chris Ryan, you’ll enjoy this. Only thing I’m not a huge fan of is how unlikable the protagonist is, hopefully the sequel gives him a better arc. Probably one of Ryan’s better stories in a while. Performance was fantastic.

Fast paced military espionage thriller.
