James Ryker

He dedicated most of his life to the Joint Intelligence Agency. Now, James Ryker wants to start afresh. However, he soon hears about the murder of a woman whose fingerprints match those of a former adversary who's been missing, presumed dead… an assassin known as the Red Cobra. But Ryker confirms a case of mistaken identity. Who is the dead woman? And where is the real Red Cobra?

What do you do when the love of your life vanishes? Lisa was taken and Ryker will find the perpetrator. Ryker, who is an ex-intelligence agent, is framed for the murder of a former informant and thrown into a jail run by The Black Hornet, the notorious leader of a drug cartel. What connects the cartel to the informant's murder, and to Lisa's disappearance? Who can help in Ryker's hour of need?

Ex-intelligence agent James Ryker sets out on a revenge mission that takes him from the crystal waters of Mexico's Caribbean coast, right back to his country of birth, England. Once there, he stumbles upon a terrorist attack targeting his old employers. All the clues point to The Silver Wolf. But just who is he, and why is he hell bent on punishing not just Ryker, but his closest allies?

'I need your help. Call me.' Ex-intelligence agent, James Ryker, receives a coded message through a secret drop point, a means of communication known only to him and one other person. The problem is, that person is his ex-boss... and he's already dead. But the cry for help is real, and it's a request Ryker can't refuse. Travelling to New York alone and without official sanction, Ryker has a single goal in mind, yet even he couldn't have bargained for the violent world he's soon embroiled in. Caught in the middle of spiraling chaos, with the FBI on one side and warring underworld bosses on the other, Ryker must put his skills to the test in order to come out on top and keep his word. In a world full of lies and deceit, loyalty is everything, and it's time for James Ryker to pay his dues.

Rule number one for an agent of the secretive JIA is to follow orders, no matter what. But James Ryker has never cared much for rules. He only wants to do what is right. Assigned to join a crew of elite security personnel in Chabon, Africa, Ryker's mission objective is clouded by politics and obfuscation, and he knows only that to protect British interests in the region, he is to infiltrate the close protection team of the government of Chabon, a country with a dark and violent past. Arriving in Chabon's crumbling capital, Kilpassa, Ryker finds a country on the brink of civil war. A growing civilian rebellion threatens peace, with claims of atrocities committed by both sides, including the frail government run by enigmatic President Benyu - a former military general who took control of the country in a violent coup. Drawn into Benyu's inner circle, it soon becomes clear to Ryker that in Chabon, the lines be-tween good and bad, and right and wrong, are nearly impossible to identify. With a crisis of epic proportions unfolding before his eyes, Ryker knows one thing for sure: with or without the backing of his superiors, he must take drastic action, and quickly, or risk putting millions of innocent lives in danger.
