Description

A tense firefight on the Russian-American border heralds the start of a terrifying high-stakes mission for special forces agent Major Rake Ozenna in this gripping espionage thriller.

Instructed to guide in a speed boat crossing from Russia in the Bering Strait, special forces Major Rake Ozenna watches in horror as the operation culminates in a fatal firefight - and the loss of vital intelligence of a deadly new weapon. A weapon of unimaginable power. A weapon that, if it were unleashed, would cripple civilization as we know it. But who sabotaged the mission? Who possesses the weapon - and what is their ultimate goal?

Rake's search takes him to the remote outpost of Uelen on the Russian coast - and the discovery that he is up against a formidable enemy from his past. As world leaders gather in Bonn for the signing of the new European security treaty, Rake enters a desperate race against time to prevent a catastrophe beyond imagining.

This fast-paced, impeccably researched, highly topical thriller is perfect for readers of CLIVE CUSSLER, LEE CHILD and ROBERT LUDLUM.

Featured Reviews

“Man on Fire” is authored by Humphrey Hawksley and is the latest thriller in a series whose protagonist, Rake Ozenna, is an Inuit who happens to be a Major in the Special Forces. I don’t usually read these action thrillers; however NetGalley was gracious enough to send me a copy in exchange for my feedback. So my pithy response: The book is the third in the series by Hawksley and I can read why many critics enjoy the series. You’ve got assassins, you’ve got nasty Russians, you also have a brilliant doctor, and much, much more. Enjoy the read…you’ll likely get hooked on the series.

Thank you to Netgalley for the opportunity to read and review this book. This is part of the Rake Ozenna series of thrillers and it is a good one. The Major is the typical kick-ass soldier found in this type of story but it is still well worth the read. Interesting and fun.
