Sixteen killers have done this job before me. Officially, I don't exist, but every government uses me. I'm the most feared hitman in the world. Heading to Renaissance Florence, DV Bishop was awarded the CWA Historical Dagger for The Darkest Sin. Praised by judges for being 'gripping to the end' this atmospheric historical thriller is a sequel to City of Vengeance, first released in 2021 and forms part of the Cesare Aldo series. Years later, he was found by Sergei Zavorotko and the Mystery Man, when they were searching the facility sometime after Ort-Meyer's death. It’s a bit like James Bond without the fancy gadgets, or maybe like Jason Bourne. But I’d like to think that Seventeen can hold his own just fine in the spy environment. That said, I was never really sure I knew where things would end up. It’s such an unpredictable and dangerous lifestyle, and I couldn’t even hazard a guess as to who would survive this crazy cat-and-mouse game. The plot is just crazy enough to make you wonder how real some of these roles and events are. Are all the characters and individual events believable? Not really. Is the overall plot just crazy enough to make you question how real it is? You bet it is!

Don't miss Assassin Eighteen , John Brownlow's next riveting suspense novel—available in April 2024!If you like action thrillers which don't worry too much about characterisation, you'd probably enjoy this. I rated it 3.5 stars (rounded down) as although the second half was much better than the first, it wasn't quite the pacy, punchy read I was expecting. Jun, born Wen Junhui, is from Guandong China. He started as a child actor in China. He learned martial arts when he was a kid. He sometimes can look like a mannequin because of his body proportions (tall, long arms and legs, and wide shoulders). Je merkt dat de auteur weet hoe hij een scenario moet schrijven want dit boek voelde aan als een film/serie. Het is, eenmaal van start, heel beeldend en het tempo ligt mede door de korte hoofdstukken, hoog. Net zoals in films heb je misschien de neiging om even je wenkbrauwen te fronsen bij al die actie, maar de auteur komt er, dankzij zijn schrijfstijl, meer dan mee weg. Visceral, cinematic and wildly addictive, Seventeen will keep you on the edge of your seat and live long in the memory. Until Eighteen comes along…

Vanaf de eerste pagina’s zat ik gelijk in dit verhaal. Zoals elk goed verhaal, is er een aanloop en verwacht dus niet meteen omver geblazen te worden door de ene actie na de andere. En toch, ik zag het allemaal voor mij, zelfs de personages die nog volop hun karakter en verleden moesten blootgeven, kregen toch al een gezicht. Alsof ik een boek lang een super goeie serie gebinged heb. Ich tue das Einzige, was mir einfällt. Als ich an der Küche vorbeikomme, schnappe ich mir die Kaffeekanne und werfe damit nach der Frau. Praktisch im selben Moment schleudert sie mir das Telefon entgegen. […] Woozi is the leader of the vocal sub-unit. Despite being the shortest member at 164 cm (5'5"), he is also the most gluttonous member of Seventeen and basically eats a lot without gaining much weight.

Summary

Seventeen ist der Nachfolger von Sixteen. Um seinen Platz musste er nicht kämpfen, denn Sixteen verschwand einfach. Jetzt hat gibt es einen neuen Auftrag in Berlin. Danach soll Seventeen im Vorbeigehen nur noch eine Kleinigkeit erledigen. Und gerade diese vermeintlich einfache Sache geht irgendwie schief. Der gnadenlose Killer Seventeen kommt ins Grübeln. Ist das immer so richtig, was er tut, selbst wenn es für die gute Sache oder die gute Seite ist? Aber er darf nicht schwach werden. Wer schwach wird mal sich selbst eine Zielscheibe auf die Brust. Noch gibt es einen nächsten Auftrag: Sixteen. The pace never falters a single inch in this high octane, breathless thriller. Lean, mean and thoroughly enjoyable * Crime Time *

Wonwoo is one of the sub-rappers of SEVENTEEN. He is part of the HIP HOP team. When he was in middle, he had an interest to learn to play the guitar so he joined a music academy with his friend as a hobby. Pledis Entertainment was, coincidentally, holding an audition there and Wonwoo passed. His birthday is also on the 17th. If you want to grab a readers attention authors could do worse than look at how John Brownlow does it. Yanked in by a chain! I love the tone, there's a wry, dry humorous tone in the beginning which I really appreciate although things alter later on when things go Pete Tong and 17 is operating in, lets say, an improvised manner. Sixteen people have done this job before me. I am Seventeen. The most feared assassin in the world. But to be the best, you must beat the best. My next target is Sixteen, just as one day Eighteen will hunt me down. It’s a dog-eat-dog world and it gets lonely at the top. Nobody gets to stay for long. But while we're here, all that matters is that we win.This is a fresh adrenaline-charged, and snarkily funny spy thriller with an explosive climax * The Peterborough Telegraph *
