Silent Kill

Operation Silent Predator

In Silent Kill, former SAS operative Jack “Hawk” Hawkins is pulled back into a world of shadows when a covert Black Ops unit is tasked with dismantling a ruthless arms network in Eastern Europe. Chris Ryan’s expert knowledge of military tactics and his signature pulse-pounding prose bring every heartbeat of danger to life—from the hiss of suppressed weaponry in abandoned warehouses to the whispered commands exchanged beneath moonlit treelines. As Jack assembles a hand-picked team of specialists, each with secrets of their own, the mission becomes a race against time: one wrong step could ignite a continental catastrophe.

Ghosts in the Crosshairs

As the operatives infiltrate a fortified compound deep in the Carpathians, they discover that their most formidable adversary is not the arsenal stocked in shipping containers, but a merciless sniper known only as “The Wraith.” With every calculated shot, The Wraith erases someone from Jack’s past—a past riddled with betrayal—and leaves behind a calling card that taunts the unit’s resolve. Trapped behind enemy lines, the squad must navigate ice-clad ridges and crumbling tunnels, relying on improvised gadgets and split-second decisions to stay one step ahead of a killer who blends into the darkness like smoke.

The Edge of Survival

When the team uncovers evidence of a planned chemical strike on a civilian city, the mission pivots from sabotage to desperate rescue. Under relentless pursuit, Jack and his comrades wage a guerrilla campaign against insurmountable odds—laying booby traps in narrow passes, executing silent takedowns in crowded marketplaces, and decoding encrypted transmissions that could turn the tide. With loyalties tested and supplies dwindling, every choice carries the weight of countless innocent lives.

A Reckoning in the Dark

In a heart-stopping finale atop a rain-slicked castle ruin, Jack faces The Wraith in a lethal duel of skill and willpower. As thunder rolls and steel screams in the storm, the ultimate question emerges: can one man’s determination tip the balance between salvation and apocalypse?

. “A relentless, razor-sharp thriller that plunges readers into the clandestine world of modern warfare, where survival depends on speed, stealth, and the courage to confront the darkest corners of the human soul,” writes Chris Ryan’s description.
