After an all too simple job in Paris, a hit-squad is sent to kill Victor but the only man who knows where he is, sent him to Paris in the first place. Victor is an assassin at the top of his game. Jason Bourne, Jack Bauer and Jack Reacher - Victor is all three of them in one!!!! This is a guy I want to find out more about.so having enjoyed meeting Victor, I am now going onto his next adventure/assignment. Most of the secondary characters are not very likeable.arms dealers, killers, double agents. What I found interesting was how the author created such an likeable and appealing hero.this is a man who kills for money and yet I found something human in him. action packed with nail-biting fighting and shooting sequences. Non-stop action.guns, shoot-outs, good guys, bad guys.Explosive car chases.
Victor goes from being the hunter to now being the hunted!!! Pursued by enemies.CIA, Russian SVR, MI6, French Secret Service.he has to use all his talents to keep ahead of them and try to find out who wants him dead and why. The series revolves around Victor, a ruthless and deadly but actually rather a nice guy who just happens to kill people for money.a freelance assassin, with no past and no home, a loner - the total antihero hitman.Ĭarrying out his latest assignment in Paris, he finds himself being chased across Europe by killers who have been assigned to take him out. The books in the Victor series are fast past, action packed and allow us to fully come to understand the mind of this complicated man who is a man of honor in his own way.The Hunter is the debut book and the 1st in Tom Wood's Victor the Assassin Series. Victor is a smart, cunning and extremely dangerous character that gets the job done once he undertakes it. Being a world class assassin lets you have your little quirks, not that very many people meet him twice or live long enough once they do meet him to appreciate his code. The last part of his personal code seems to cause people who deal with Victor the most confusion, after all its OK to kill people for money but not OK to curse? To which he usually replies something to the effect of there is enough ugliness in the world no need to bring out more.
Victor lives by a code, a simple code, be vigilant, unpredictable and don’t attract undue attention, oh and no swearing. Reviewed by Diane Basting (Library Staff)
