This is a thrilling addition to what is a long drawn James Ryker series, packed with action, suspense, and unpredictable twists. In this installment, Ryker, the protagonist faces his most dangerous mission yet, involving deadly terrorist activities, hidden agendas, and a web of secrets that keeps readers on edge. Rob Sinclair crafts a gripping tale filled with tension, unexpected turns, and character development.
The story starts quickly, throwing Ryker into a world of espionage, vengeance, and covert operations. Ryker is a compelling character—smart, determined, and skilled—but in the Angel of Death (as the name of the book states), he meets his match with another complex and multifaceted character. Rob seems to excel at creating unpredictable characters whose motives often remain unclear, or in the background, adding depth and intrigue to the narrative. Every time you think you know where the story is headed, he successfully seems to pull the rug out from under you with a well-timed twist.
The pacing is nice, with action-packed sequences and moments of intense suspense that make it impossible to put the book down. I have become a fan of Rob’s talent for building tension which is evident throughout, and the book's unpredictable nature will keep readers hooked from start to finish. If you're a fan of espionage thrillers with high stakes and intricate plots, Angel of Death will not disappoint.
I have discovered a new series to read and significant backlog to complete.
I really enjoyed this book. It was a book that kept me interested, and I couldn't put it down. I will absolutely be recommending this book to others.
Thank you Net Galley ARC
This is a part of the james ryker series. The book is action packed, gripping, suspenseful, and intriguing. I loved the character development. If you like espionage thriller, you would love this series. The book is filled with unthinkable happenings, deadly terrorist activities, vengeance, destruction, secrets, secret mission, twists, and suspense. There is one thing about the characters that one can’t predict their intentions. This is a multilayered story with multifaceted characters.
4.5/5
Thanks to the Publisher and Author
Another brilliant read by Rob Sinclair, fast paced and hard to put down once you start. You won't be disappointed if you pick this one up.
I always enjoy Rob Sinclair's work and this is no exception.
Cleverly written with complex characters, whilst you will need to concentrate, it's all worth the ride.
Great plot, extremely well executed as always.
𝑬𝒙𝒄𝒊𝒕𝒊𝒏𝒈, 𝒖𝒏𝒑𝒓𝒆𝒅𝒊𝒄𝒕𝒂𝒃𝒍𝒆 𝒂𝒏𝒅 𝒖𝒏𝒑𝒖𝒕𝒅𝒐𝒘𝒏𝒂𝒃𝒍𝒆.. Rob Sinclair has given us another gem with Angel of Death. This is a cancel all plans and read book without a doubt.
Sinclair pulled me into this one very quickly and I became completely unwilling to put this down. It was as though I was watching this unfold in front of me.
Angel of Death is a book that was full of tension and intrigue. Everytime I thought I had this figured out, something would happen and I’d be completely thrown.
This book is perfectly paced and full of action. Ryker is back and still his usual self but in this it seems he has met his match. This is a series that I’ve dipped in and out of. Each book seems to get better and better. Sinclair has a real talent for keeping his readers interested and addicted.
I liked the mix of characters that fill the pages of this book. Each play a great role and make this a brilliant story.
This is not my first book by Sinclair and it definitely won’t be the last. I loved this book.

This is a fast-paced, action-packed thriller. Even though this is number 12 in the James Ryker series I read it as a stand-alone and enjoyed it.
Full of well-developed characters and an entertaining if sometimes violent plot, this novel will keep you captivated.
Ryker is a former intelligence agent who will stop at nothing to uncover the truth.
Many thanks to the author, publisher and NetGalley UK for the ARC.
The continuing story of James Ryker and his need to correct the world’s wrongs. This is a really well crafted, well written story. This may well be the best written of the James Ryker series by the author. Highly recommended to fans of Rob Sinclair.
"Angel of Death" by Rob Sinclair is book twelve in the James Ryker series and it was so good!! If you like action, espionage, and terrorism thriller then you will love this book.
James Ryker is an ex intelligent agent on a mission to find out who runs a crime syndicate and will not stop until he finds who the head boss it is. Angel is on her own mission to get revenge on a guy who ruined her life. When she gets a call from James asking for help to go after the same man, she agrees. Sinclair wrote an amazing action packed wild adventure, that will keep you guessing until the end. Thank you to NetGalley, Boldwood Books, and Rob Sinclair for letting me read this book in exchange for my honest thoughts and opinions. I can’t wait to go back and read the first 11 books.
A rollercoaster ride of skulduggery amongst the highest echelons of the political classes and espionage specialists employed supposedly to protect the country whilst using their positions of power to manipulate warring fractions in order to feather their own nests. Betting that sounds a familiar premise. Lots of blurring of lines between who are the good guys and which of them are smoking mirrors. A hugely entertaining story not for the faint hearted in that bodies pile up with violence a regular feature of their daily working life as our protagonist runs amok in his efforts to track down a corrupt and evil Middle Eastern multi millionaire oligarch, who appears to be outside any normal laws, rules and restrictions applicable to the rest of society aided and abetted by a corrupt British security service. An original take on spy stories demonstrating the grey line between right and wrong, evil and legitimate activities under the guise of incorruptibility. Many thanks to author, publisher and Netgalley for this ARC.
James Ryker is after an international terrorist Ismail but so is an ex SIS agent known as the Angel of Death. Full of intrigue and action with plenty of twists along the way. Who will come out on top. This is a top notch thriller that will keep you on the edge of your seat. Thanks to Boldwood books and Netgalley for this review ARC
Angel of Death by Rob Sinclair is the 12th book in The James Ryker Series. This has been a series I have not really followed. However, I really enjoyed the books I have read. This one was no different - I really enjoyed it especially as it was full of action throughout with lots of twists and turns that will have you wanting to find out what happens next.
James Ryker is investigating and hunts down members of the Syndicate, not many people believe that the Syndicate even exists, but, James knows all about the Syndicate - they are a shadowy organisation who are full of mega rich people and controlling the world affairs only for their own gains and nothing else!
James meets a lot of people along the way some are good and some are bad, but he has to keep his wits about him.
I really enjoyed this book and will be going back to read more of James Ryker.
With Ryker, Rob Sinclair has a character with depth, not exactly a hero but a man trying his best to right the wrongs that would otherwise go unpunished. The torture delivered is fairly graphic but in context and within reasonableness.
A really engrossing storyline that doesn’t all end golden in the garden, but then real life rarely does either.
I really enjoy a Rob Sinclair book and this one was no different.
In this gutsy, violent and enjoyable thriller Angel of Death, fans of clandestine espionage novels are in for a real treat in this riveting page-turner that segues from the Middle East to London, as James Ryker seeks out violent terrorist Ismail Karaman, a man who lives a very high profile life, is apparently untouchable, but is the head of a violent terrorist organisation known as The Syndicate.
Angel, known as the Angel of Death, is a former SIS operative whose life has been systematically destroyed by Karaman. She blames him and the corruption within the SIS for her demise into hard drugs and alcoholism, the loss of her husband and her daughter. She is not allowed to see her daughter and her husband has remarried.
She is recruited through a Health Retreat she attends as part of her rehabilitation program, to find and kill Karaman. But right from the beginning, although she is has agreed to be part of the three-person team for the money as well as the revenge, she feels something is not quite right.
Ryker is on the same trajectory; to find and eliminate Karaman once and for all. His first attempt goes terribly wrong, which once again sees him languishing in gaol, needing to be rescued by a clandestine arm of the Home Office. The person that arrives to release him is someone he never thought to see in the 'field' and makes him wonder just how far the tentacles of the Syndicate spread.
After this debacle Ryker has decided he is better on his own, but finds himself having to rescue Angel from a murderous firefight, Karaman having escaped once again. As they have the same objective, they join forces to get the job done; to even the score and settle old debts.
It is a moot point as to who is the more violent, Angel or Ryker, as they work their way across Europe to take on the man himself on home turf. But will they succeed?
Fast paced and thoroughly enjoyable Angel of Death, the twelfth book in the James Ryker Series from Rob Sinclair, will have you in the action until the bitter end. What will Ryker take on next in his bid to make the world a better place? Time will tell!
This is the 12th book in the James Ryker Series, but can easily be read as a standalone. It is a high octane espionage thriller which does not let its pace drop once.
Opening with an eye-wincing interrogation, Ryker is soon on the tail of The Syndicate & a deadly terrorist, Ismail Karaman. Unfortunately for the latter, he has another disgruntled ex-services after him & she blames him entirely for her downward spiral in life & her time in a Lebanese hell-hole of a prison.
Fast paced, brutal in places &, yet, highly entertaining & enjoyable. Twists & turns all over the place, I think I saw myself come back again! And who to trust? What a massive question & one that will only be answered if you read this brilliant book.
Twelve books in, and you would expect the story to be wearing a little. Nope! I don't think Rob Sinclair knows how to stop. I haven't read every book in the series, but I have read quite a few, and every time I start a new instalment, the quality is still top-notch.
If you want an adrenaline inducing and entertaining read, Angel of Death should be perfect! It's told from Ryker and Angel's perspectives through alternating chapters. I enjoy this type of storytelling so much. It makes the story so engrossing! And I think seeing two sides of the same story gives the reader a tantalising overall view.
Action packed and exhilarating with the expected violence that always comes as part of a plotline such as this. Ryker is always good to take my mind off the real world for as long as it takes me to read it. With a bit of everything, this is a book that will appeal to any readers who enjoy thrillers.
Thanks to Rachel's Random Resources, Boldwood Books and NetGalley for the gifted ebook to write my review.
Ryker is on a mission. One that will help (he hopes) do damage to the omnipresent and omnipotent Syndicate. He’s after one man, a man who will give him answers. But nothing is simple in Ryker’s world and his initial mission goes a bit Pete Tong. But that never sets him back, he just gets a new plan.
But this time, he encounters someone who has the same end game as him but for a different reason. That someone reminded me a lot of Ryker himself. Someone who doesn’t trust easily. Someone who is screwed over. Someone who’s lost a loved one. Unsurprisingly they clash!!!
Sinclair has written a cracking action packed addition to the Ryker series. My handsome rugged hero is put through the mill again, fighting for what’s right by whatever means necessary – some of those means made me grimace. I was glued to my kindle as Ryker was chasing his target around the world. There were gasps and hands flying to the mouth as events spilled out of my kindle before me.
I have read a few of Rob Sinclair's books which I have thoroughly enjoyed but this is the first in this series however, despite this being book 12, I think it works well as a standalone and I certainly got to grip with the characters pretty quickly although realise there is an awful lot I have missed.
With fantastic characters, an excellent plot, loads of action, suspense and thrills and all written at a great, fast pace, this is a really good action/adventure/spy/thriller so will appeal to many. There are violent scenes but only what you would expect for this type of book and nothing that is over the top ... well I didn't think so.
Excellent book that I thoroughly enjoyed and many thanks to the author, Boldwood Books and NetGalley for enabling me to read and share my thoughts of this, another excellent book from Rob Sinclair.
Ryker, a former intelligence agent, offers everything you'd expect from a character living on the edge. He's intelligent, ruthless, and fiercely loyal, having endured immense trauma, yet as the series unfolds, his deeply human and relatable side emerges.
This book is packed with action and suspense, introducing a chilling antagonist, Ismail Karaman—a wealthy, seemingly untouchable terrorist responsible for unspeakable crimes. Now, Karaman faces two formidable enemies: Ryker, and the "Angel of Death," a former agent whose life he shattered, leaving her seeking revenge after years of imprisonment in a Lebanese jail.
With Ryker and a vengeance-fueled agent on his trail, Karaman is in for the fight of his life. This gripping novel is full of unpredictable twists and turns that will keep readers hooked. I have to go back and read all the other books in the series because I am hooked!
This is the latest in the James Ryker series but it also reads well as a a standalone. This is an action packed, suspense filled thriller. Ryker, a former intelligence agent, is once again working undercover in the search for Ismail Karaman known as the Kingmaker. He is a known terrorist and Ryker believes he is working within a syndicate of political leaders for financial gain and extreme power. During the search Ryker encounters another former special agent, Angel, who had previously tried unsuccessfully to take Karaman out. Together they are a potent force.
This is a really well written book which is fast paced and as stated earlier full of action. Ryker has his own unique way of gaining information and goes in where it hurts. His main issue is knowing who to trust.
Once you start reading this book you'll not be able to put it down.
