Those Who Hunt Wolves

~~~

The fate of nations and humanity as a whole revolves around the Blackout, United States most powerful and enigmatic weapon. When it's stolen by the last remaining Wolf it's up to the last three remaining members of a top secret faction to protect humankind from the dark side of technological espionage to hunt down the Wolf before its too late. But with the blurred lines between loyalty and greed who working for who and why? 

Think Strikeback with an fusion of Nikita: Those Who Hunt Wolves was a fast paced page turner for me. Along with its gripping storyline and main character. 

Trigger warning for descriptive violent scenes. There is a bit of science jargon but not deep enough to detract you from the storyline. 

I enjoyed the diversity of the characters and their banter which was ranging from serious to funny. That balance between serious and humorous made things easier to digest. 

The commentary about how the World Bank functions had me at the edge of my sit. I don't know how true that is. 

That being said, greed, power, loyalty, violence, love, redemption, friendship, revenge are the themes that hold the storyline to give us a thrilling, unputdownable narrative 

Fans of Robert Ludlum might enjoy this conspiracy thriller with a mix of science and deep feels.
