All good men must come to an end...

Disgraced ex-cop Robert Hoon has crossed the wrong people for the last time.

Having struck a humiliating blow against the criminal network known as the Loop, Hoon has been targeted by the Alphas, an elite squad of assassins who will not stop until he is dead.

Outnumbered, outgunned, and on unfamiliar territory, Hoon’s only chance of survival lies several hundred miles north, in a place he knows better than anyone else on Earth.

He swore he’d never set foot there again, but almost four decades after he left, Bob Hoon is finally going home.

Westward is the third thriller novel in the Robert Hoon series, and is perfect for fans of Jack Reacher, James Bond, and excessive swearing.

He has no idea what the 'JD' bit stands for.

Funny, but not for the faint hearted

If reading the f-word 15 times in a single sentence offends you, then this book is not for you. This is an off shoot from the JD Kirk DCI Jack Logan series. I really wish I’d read that before this one, but it’s fine either way.

While I’m eagerly anticipating the last in the Hoon series (unless Kirk keeps it going somehow with new titles reference something else, since the last book will finish at least the North/South/West/East compass points), I’ve been working my way through the Logan series. And wondering what kind of a writing powerhouse Kirk (not his real name) is.

Since 2019, he seems to have written more than 18 or so books. Like - 5 in 2020 alone. I guess being on lockdown did wonders for his writing.

In any event, I both listened to and read these books. Angus King’s narration is amazing (I think that’s who narrated it), but I ended up also downloading it to figure out some of the Scottish sayings and words.

Kirk writes really funny, really great books.

This was the first Hoon novel for me. I was a bit surprised by the swearing and sexual innuendos so I stopped for a day. Decided I didn’t carry enough to let it bother me. I liked the story, humor, and at times just ridiculous things Bob Hoon ( J D Kirk) did or didn’t do that would have made sense. Once the three stooges flashed in my thoughts. Just too entertaining and made me laugh.

Who knew that Kirk could turn Hoon into a likable character? Fantastic characters, racing plot, and wonderful details. Love this series!

JD Kirk performs two miracles in this one: he humanizes Hoon so well that he makes the reader care for him. The addition of Logan and company is pitch perfect. Berta is a favorite.

I can think of nothing negative to say about JD Kirk or this series. I was unsure of whether to give the Hoon series a try initially. He was one of those characters that popped up in the Jack Logan series that I did not see any lasting potential for beyond his extremely foul mouth. I was wrong.

If you've read the Jack Logan series and are on the fence for the Hoon series, go for it...assuming you can handle the most extreme level of foul language. I could not put the Logan books down, and now I cannot put the Hoon books down. I wouldn't even say the Hoon series falls under my usual mystery genre, but it's definitely a thriller that makes me actually laugh out loud at times.

JD Kirk is the most entertaining, thrilling author out there currently in my opinion. My only wish is that he could put out Hoon and Logan books as quickly as I can read them.

Oh dear. Only 4 stars but why?

I'm going to preface this by saying I have read all the Jack Logan books since they first came out and then in turn read all of the Hoon books. This time I was in no rush to read Westward and waited until I had finished two books on my Kindle ahead of it. Because I love the Logan books (and JD Kirk) I gave this 4 stars instead of the 3 it probably deserves. Hoon is just a comic book character now, he takes a licking and keeps on ticking... again and again. He has friends with a huge supply of weaponry which honestly defies belief and he manages to keep on escaping even more ludicrous situations, this time all on his own (until the very end). Dead bodies litter the landscape and yet nothing happens and apparently none of the authorities care. All a bit silly really. Oh well, a new Logan book is out soon so my faith in JD will be renewed.

While I Usually Don’t Write Reviews

Reviewed in the United States on July 20, 2022

While I Usually Don’t Write Reviews, in honor of this author, being the first one of which I’ve ever read 17 books in a row of, I feel I really should.

This Hoon series is a left hand turn down a rather darkish lane from the authors main series featuring Jack Logan. Hoon does pop up in the main series here & there, but generally not in a good or even helpful way, in fact many would say they’d rather he’d of gone stuck down his own dark lane a lot sooner, much much sooner, and I think Logan would of given the car a push start!

Having said that I’ll add on he’s the most foul mouthed character to ever grace a page, digital or otherwise and his temperament would send even the most hardiest of a thermometer to wishing it was anything else before it exploded.

So here’s the good part, because I bet having read all that ^^ your wondering why you’d even buy the book, probably especially if you’d read the other series. So the good bit?

Hoon is a character that is the epitome of an AntiHero

He’s crude, he’s lazy, somewhat nasty, foul mouthed etc etc, but somehow he manages to slowly (very) worm his way into your heart. The author started to show a little of this in the last few of the main series, probably to ‘test the water’ and while said waters were quite choppy (very) positive comments started to emerge.

I’ll admit I was nervous when I bought book one, I didn’t like the idea of reading swearing every other sentence, ok ok, every other word! But you know what? I found myself liking what I’ve coined ‘Hoonisms’ and seeing if he can outdo himself as the books progressed, he can.

But the author hasn’t just written a book that showcases Hoon, he’s made more! Yes, more Hoons, more than you’d ever imagine! Ok, well there’s just one, but that’s a LOT when we’re discussing Hoons!

He’s also made up some friends for him, who knew huh? And enough baddies to even keep him on his toes, an international worldwide conglomerate no less! Ok, I stole that line from the author, he’ll never know though! ;)

This series has been the most enlightening that I’ve possibly ever read & is also the epitome of ‘don’t judge a book by its cover’ but more like ‘don’t judge a Hoon by his prior acts of language & violence in 14 other books’!

I’ve written a review on another book in this series which is on GoodReads, Amazon wouldn’t publish it due to language, mine I mean, but it’s worth a look-see & hopefully a giggle.

Ok final ending to this diatribe, BUY THE BOOKS! You won’t regret it, I think in some ways they’re as good or BETTER than the main series, and my many thanks to the author for so many enjoyable hours over all of the books & guess what I found at the supermarkets?! Irn-Bru!

*MAY CONTAIN SPOILERS IF YOU HAVEN’T READ THE OTHER BOOKS IN THE SERIES YET*

Bob Hoon is back in this third instalment of the stand-alone series.

After managing to get his best mate from his army days’s daughter back Hoon is stuck in a rut - drinking at all hours of the day (and night) and milling about on his boat down in London, when a knock at the door from a young woman changes everything.
As usual, he’s upset the wrong people, since bringing down the organised crime gang called ‘the loop’ their hierarchy are now hunting him, wanting him dead. This squad of assassins will stop at nothing to complete the task, however they have got more than they bargained for when they turn their sights to Bob Hoon! Literally fighting for his life, the only option of survival lays back up north in Scotland, somewhere he was adamant he would never return to. He has no choice, it’s either fight on his own ground, or keep running forever.

This book has everything, suspense, grit, emotions, comedy, darkness and extreme profanities it had me on a rollercoaster do everything I couldn’t stop reading!

We get to know a bit more about Hoon, and see more sides to him that we haven’t seen much of before, this character is absolutely brilliant, we see some old favourites come up though the story as well as meeting some other very interesting characters too!

I don’t have anything negative to say about this book, I really loved it, JD is one of my favourite authors, his writing style and descriptions are second to none, you know instantly as soon as you see a book written by him it’s going to be brilliant!

Thoroughly enjoyed every bit of this series. Absolutely pished myself at the ending, a few tears expelled in there too.
I wasn't sure about a series with Bob at the helm after having Jack for so long, but JD Kirk smashed it outta the park.
