Former black ops agent Brady Hawk is enjoying his new life with his growing family on a ranch in Montana. Then the former head of the CIA pays Hawk a visit to discuss a dangerous assignment: extracting one of Hawk’s Navy SEAL friends stuck in Siberian Russia. Unwilling to leave his pal behind enemy lines, Hawk agrees to accept the mission.
But when he arrives in Russia, he finds that everything isn’t as it seems while uncovering a secret that could have far-reaching implications on the country’s national security. Desperate to complete his mission and return home, Hawk must overcome unforgiving terrain while being hunted by Russia’s intelligence agency to not only save his country but also save his life.
The Shadow Hunter (The Phoenix Chronicles #1) Reviews
-
Truly awful. Unless you enjoy travelogues and constant reminders of how much the characters love their children and families and apple pie. I confess I was only able to make it a little more than halfway through it was so bad. But it's a quick read; you can skip 3, 4, or 5 pages at a time and miss nothing.
The author started out as a sports writer at a small newspaper and perhaps that's where he should have stayed. His knowledge of special operations has seemingly been gleaned from reading a couple of Mitch Rapp novels.
I do not recommend this book to anyone, except maybe those who are having trouble falling asleep at night. 10 minutes with this book should do it. -
Brady and Alex come out of retirement for the sole purpose of rescuing one of Brady’s SEAL teammates who saved his life in training. Once again as in all previous Brady Hawk stories the action is nonstop and intense, and not everything is as it appears. To say I enjoyed this return of Brady and Alex is an understatement, now if they will just stay unretired. I received an Advance Reader Copy and chose to provide this review.

I think that this is an intriguing storyline, with plenty of action, but some of the situations were just too simplistic… Fight scenes needed more detail and Hawks interaction with his wife is often kinda quirky. (She can defend herself against a Russian assassin, but can hardly handle her five year old son?). Overall, it’s an entertaining book and I look forward to reading more from this author.

Alex is an amazing woman,wife and Mom...oh and operative
Once again I am totally sucked in to this intriguing narrative! Jack and Alex are an unbeatable team, whether on the ranch or a world apart!!! -
A great Spy story.
The author has written an exciting and intriguing story of the adventures and actions taken to prevent war with North Korea. A story full of action and suspense that will keep you entertained. -

The Shadow Hunter (The Phoenix Chronicles #1) by R.J. Patterson...

Full review still to come. -

The Shadow Hunter
Nice to see Brady and Alex get back in the game. Brady moving into Russia to retrieve and old friend. Not realizing what he'll have to endure to do so. -
Excellent
I am looking forward to the next book in this series. The Hawks are very complex and the story line takes us on a wild roller coaster ride. -
Good spy thriller.
-
A potentially good story but very poorly written.

Great book with memorable characters and exciting story line
