Chiefly known for his character Ryan Drake who he’s kept running for over five books so far and counting, he’s already turning heads within the industry due to his ability in combining both suspense and intrigue. Naturally, when he announced he had been awarded his first publishing contract, I was keen to see if his skills as a reviewer would translate into those of an author.

Her character has its roots in the dark days of the Cold War when East and West faced off across a divided Europe. Reluctant at first after hoping to leave this lifestyle behind him, he soon finds himself as the target of a major manhunt, as he’s forced to turn to the extremely violent and dangerous woman who hired him. For Ryan Drake, this is just the beginning as the sniper is revealed to be Anya – the rogue former CIA agent he helped rescue from prison nearly two years earlier. Seizing what may be his last chance at redemption, Drake hastily assembles a Shepherd team and launches his mission, parachuting into the remote Siberian prison where Maras is being held. Packed with high-octane action scenes and perfectly placed militaristic detail there is much to entertain any reader of this genre.Tasked with liberating a former CIA agent, Maras, from a harsh prison in the snowy wastes of Siberia, Drake and his team come to realise that this mission is not all that it first appears to be and forces Drake on the run with Maras as the depth of this conspiracy becomes clear. Jordan switches easily from viewpoint to viewpoint, with each character having his or her own motivations and voice. She's way too strong and fast, unbelievably perceptive, skillful in everything she does, and established as pretty much the toughest fighter there is. Torn between loyalty to Anya and his duty as a CIA operative, Drake is plunged into a desperate race against time to track down Anya, find out the truth behind her actions, and stop her before she can launch further attacks.

Once Maras is back on US soil, Ryan thinks he will have no more to do with her, but a change in circumstances puts them on the run together.It also provides an energetic adventure for battle-hardened operative Drake, a man we’re going to be itching to see more of and it might be a sacrifice worth making. Thankfully, Redemption didn't disappoint on that score, with the implication of a longer game to be played through later books. Tandem parachute jump at night landing with pinpoint accuracy in high winds, CIA having no drug testing policies, and my personal favourite, being able to have a whisper quiet conversation on the back of a Chinnock. From the bestselling author of Black List and Deception Game, Ghost Target is the sixth Ryan Drake thriller, and an incredible tale of deception, desperation, and ultimate betrayal. After graduating high school he moved on to university, gaining an Honors Degree in Information Technology.
