Five stars for A Lone Wolf, a high octane thriller by author, J.C. Fields. I love the book and the audiobook narrator, Paul J. McSorley, was perfect for the characters…rugged and edgy. Drawn into the story immediately, I was hooked on the plot. The fast-paced intrigue kept me listening when I should have been doing other things. I search for that in a book, and A Lone Wolf delivered with wonderful, well-defined characters, international intrigue, and a storyline with a lot of twists and turns.
When the hero, Michael Wolf and his heroine girlfriend Nadia Picard, evade an attempted assassination in Spain, they flee to Wolf’s Missouri property, and he dives in to the case head first, determined to discover who wants them dead…and why. The thrills and chills don’t stop until the end, and they kept me guessing, which isn’t an easy task. I can usually figure out who-done-it way before the story ends.
If you love spy stories that will keep you glued to your seat, this is an excellent choice…and don’t be afraid to pick up an audio copy. The narrator builds the intrigue with his tone and emphasis. I highly recommend A Lone Wolf! 5 stars!
Wow. This is the second time my husband has read a J.C. Fields thriller first, insisted I’d love it, and he was right. It’s terrific! Like the author’s Sean Kruger series (don’t miss it), this stand alone has tons of intensity and non-stop action. The main characters are retired CIA sniper Michael Wolfe and Nadia Picard of the Mossad. In Barcelona they get pursued and shot at by a trained assassin named Omar Said. Feel the excitement yet? You’ll love the clever twists, fast clear writing, and a good love story too. With locales racing from Spain to Washington, DC, to Florida and then to Tel Aviv and Paris, it’s a fast, fun read and very hard to put down. My husband and I are now both fans. Well done, J.C. Fields – 5 stars!
If you are a Sean Kruger fan you will love this new series by J. C. Fields. This international spy thriller weaves intrigue that takes you from Barcelona, Paris, Washington, DC, and the Missouri. There is always a new spin in a new locale. From a fast-paced start, Michael Wolf reunites with a spy he thought was dead. She has some scores to settle herself and together they take on finding who set them up as sniper
targets. From the first few pages you will be thrown into the workings of the CIA, Mossad, and Special Forces. Michael and Nadia must find out who the spies are and separate them from the moles who may or may not be dead. While I couldn’t
turn the pages fast enough, there are many twists and surprise information you don’t want to miss. J.C Fields’ new series raises the bar on international spy thrillers and you won’t want to put this one down.
Michael Wolfe is an ex-CIA agent who has contacts with Mossad. Nadia Picard is a former Mossad agent, and Michael’s former lover. Years ago, Michael and Nadia were separated by Nadia’s devious boss, who wanted Nadia for himself and lied to them both. The book starts with Nadia and Michael’s near escape from a sniper. It turns out that 3 CIA agents and 2 Mossad agents have died under similar circumstances in the past year. The rest of the book centers around their search for the person or organization behind the attempt.
Michael and Nadia are smart, tough and competent, exactly what one would expect from the most secret of secret agents. They make a likable, sympathetic and very dangerous couple. There are a lot of suspects in this book and a lot of obstacles are thrown in our heroes’ way, with red-herrings and blind alleys galore.
The book is well-written and suspenseful. The action is plausible and makes sense. I liked it a lot and have already purchased the next book in the series.
This is my first time reading the work of JC Fields. The Lone Wolf is a fast moving, wide-ranging, plot-driven thriller. It features a team: ex-Marine sniper and retired CIA operator, Michael Wolfe, whose special training dovetails with his motivation to help his country, and with his ex-Mossad girlfriend, Nadia Picard, a highly skilled, gritty woman whose motivation, likewise, is to help her people. When they nearly get assassinated in Barcelona, a string of stints dot the investigation. It moves in quick succession through many locales, from Washington, DC to West Plains, MO to Virginia countryside southwest of Alexandria, to Albany, NY to Edgefield County South Carolina, Key west Florida, punctuated with international trips to Carmona, Spain,Tel Aviv, Israel, Paris, France, and Barcelona and Madrid, Spain.
The dialog is quick, choppy, sometimes bare-bone, which allows for the fast, dynamic storytelling. “You know something I don’t?” “He met with an accident here in the state.” “Fatal one?” “Yes.” “Can you give me the details?” “Not at the moment. I don’t have any.”
For Michael Wolfe and his girlfriend, starting over would mean breaking all ties to the past. Will that remain an unreachable dream, when they are constantly faced with the realities of international intrigue?
Five stars.
Great start to a new series. This is a new to me author and I thoroughly enjoyed this story. It was fast paced with many twists along with way to keep you guessing as to who is behind the assassination attempt of Wolfe and Picard, and why. There is an interesting mix of characters and I must say I’m a little envious of the “hidden” home of Michael’s. If only I could afford such a place. I’m looking forward to reading more books by this author.
Excellent Read!
