Another action packed assassin story in the Wolf Six series. Ruslan and his broker Valentina are beholden to the CIA following an earlier case, and Ruslan is sent to Canada on a mission to kill a Chinese agent with the help of CIA resources. After the mission, the plane crashes into a lake, Ruslan survives but ends up in Michigan where there is something strange happening in the police department. In addition to this , Ruslan and his former colleague Mr Bang Bang, are both looking for each other to avenge a previous operation. Lots of plotting and violence.
Good.

loved this spy book it was fast pace and involving story l really enjoyed Akulov and his mission as assassin Backdrops of the country

it was a good story and can not wait to see what is his next installment

Absolutely loved this, could not put it down. As always, Alex Shaw writes a fast paced, action packed suspense that kept me reading all day. I love the characters and learning more about them as we go along in the series. Completely able to read as a standalone. Looking forward to the next book already.
I received an advance copy of this book in exchange for my honest review.

A great read. Had everything that makes a great spy thriller.
So many twists. Would recommend this to people

A fast and furious thriller that moves quickly through the action. Plenty of near misses and not so lucky opponents. A enjoyable read and I probably would read the next instalment. Thank you to Netgalley for the advance reader copy.

Spies, contract killers, and fast paced action will keep you turning the pages to see what happens next. Thank you to net galley for an action paced thriller.

Wolf Six is the code name for the international assassin Akulov who is feared and hated by most everyone in the global espionage community. This is a real pulse racing unputdownable thriller!
I requested and received a temporary electronic review galley from Boldwood Books via NetGalley.

Kill Code is a very fast paced thriller that really delivers with plenty of action and suspense. Exactly the kind of read I enjoy and look for. Akulov is on a mission which doesn't go to plan and finds himself being hunted by a very dangerous group of individuals. When his nemesis reappears intent on killing him Akulov knows he needs to rely on his skills to stay alive. I've always liked Akulov from his appearances in the authors other books and he is the sort of character that you just root for and I'm enjoying finding out more about him and what makes him who he is now. The authors writing is really good and engaging and the story flows effortlessly. The plot is intricately layered and moves from past to present effortlessly. I wondered many times how everything would tie up and I wasn't disappointed at all. The story races to a thrilling ending that sets up the next book perfectly.

I will definitely want to read what is in store for Akulov next, and would recommend this if you like full on action thrillers although I'd say read Wolf Six first to know the character from the beginning.

4 stars

I have read a couple of Alex Shaw's novels before and enjoyed them. This was no exception. Solid crime actin thriller, I believe the second in a series, I haven't read the first, but will now.

Nothing bad to say about this one, the pacing was on point and the characters were written well. There is a lot of action. It's fast paced and doesn't let up. You won't be able to put this one down.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Kill Code - Alex Shaw

Reads like an unstoppable action movie and is an incredible follow up to Wolf Six!

Definitely a series to recommend - if you like spies, contract killers, high octane drama - this would be right up your street.

Definitely going to keep an eye out for more from Alex - don’t leave us waiting too long!

What an exciting book. It read like a film and I was so eager to keep on reading that I finished it quickly. It starts off with a bang and doesn't let up all the way through. My thanks to netgalley and the publishers for giving me the opportunity to read this book in return for an honest review.

Excellent spy novel - In a field full of. choices, this one is worth taking time to read. It checks lots of boxes in its plot development that might seem cliche they somehow work well ogether.

Spies, international intrigue, contract killers, secrets, betrayals and non-stop action! Great series and this book just flies!

Another good read in the series. A little hard to read early on but picked up. Good plot and action.

High action, high energy!

This book was incredibly fast-paced that I read it incredibly quick.
I would have rated this book higher but I don't love a flashback. I do wish I'd read the first in the series before reading this.

I'm not always a fan of "spy" books but Akulov--Wolf Six--got me hooked right away! He's a ruthless assassin but we know he's brilliant and can elude any adversaries no matter what disguises they use. Able to disguise himself in any situation, he uses his opponents' shortcomings to forward his own agenda. It's thrilling and mind-bending!
Thanks to NetGalley for this ARC!

This novel hooked me right from the start and I could not put it down until I had finished it. Absolutely brilliant and I would recommend the book highly to those who love a gripping thriller.
