5.0 out of 5 stars Red Strike
Reviewed in the United States on January 2, 2020
Verified Purchase
This is a very interesting book, because it covers ground you will never see any of the popular mainstream American thriller writers cover (probably because they don't want to offend a sizeable portion of their core readership, which is an understandable business decision).

Despite Chris Ryan's crude, vulgar, and violent prose, "Red Strike" is surprisingly relevant, up-to-date, and very political, covering covert Russian support for right wing populist, anti-NATO, and white nationalist movements in Europe, and a secret Russian alliance with a Trump-like American president, all part of the Kremlin's strategy to implement a new world order. At the center of the overlapping plot is a Sergei Skripal-like Russian defector who has been abducted from the UK and a British populist politician who is a Russian asset. Tasked with uncovering the plot and saving the West are former SAS soldiers Bald and Porter, now deniable assets for MI6. They're also assisted by two younger SAS soldiers, who will hopefully appear in future books.

The Strike Back books are often more espionage-centric than the author's Danny Black SAS/military-centric books. There's actually little action in this one until the end, with Porter and Bald spending most of the book undercover and gathering intel, until the action-packed climax kicks in, and the action isn't over the top, saving the world type stuff. The details of intelligence and special forces operations all feel very authentic and realistic.

This is well worth reading for thriller and action fans, especially if you want a thriller from a different perspective from the routine Flynn/Thor type stuff.

Looking at the plot for the next Strike Back novel, which features an American coup in Venezuela and navy SEAL war criminal mercenaries, it looks like Chris Ryan is continuing in the same political direction.

4.0 out of 5 stars No liberal conspiracy here

The novel is similar in style to his other books. It involves a conspiracy theory, which a lot of these novels do. The conspiracy is perhaps a little far fetched, but less so than it would have been last decade. I found it a fun read.

Enjoyed this book as much as the previous three installments.
"Chalk&Cheese" Bald and Porter are an intriguing duo.
Looking forward to book five, and hope it's coming soon!

1.0 out of 5 stars Very disappointing dig at political conservatives
Reviewed in the United States on May 6, 2019
Verified Purchase
To be honest I'm struggling to finish this. With a "orange man bad" and "russian collusion" theme running through the narrative from start to finish I found this book cringeable. It's really sad because I've been a big Chris Ryan fan and have brought nearly every book he's published. I don't need this leftist BS pushed down my throat by one of my favourite authors - I get enough of that from the main stream media. I'll be very wary about spending this sort of money on a Chris Ryan novel again if all I'm going to get is ill informed leftist rubbish.

1.0 out of 5 stars A thinly veiled inverted twist on the current European political climate.
Reviewed in the United States on April 6, 2019
Very disappointing. A thinly veiled inverted twist on the reality of the current political climate. Characters within are easily identified are Common Sense political moves and shakers within current Europe / EU and Brexit machinations. Demonizing of these non-Liberal or none supporters of the current power structure are the villains. Whole leftist / current elite media - inverted reality propaganda. I did not enjoy it at all. However, read to the end. With sole intent to see just how topsy-turvy the author (if in fact Chris Ryan to write this?) had the reader believing in. 1 Star - Don't know if I will be purchasing a Chris Ryan novel again

1.0 out of 5 stars Wokeism ....a biased political hack job, skipped through most of it. Twaddle.
Reviewed in Australia on November 17, 2022

Weak and disappointing. Ryan has either hired a ghost writer or lost his mojo. Pathetic.
It was over the top bias...a better writer would have at least balanced the bias or disguised it with more erudition.
