The James Ryker Series

About this ebook series.

James Ryker thought he’d gotten away from the chaos and violence of espionage. He couldn’t have been more wrong . . .

Carl Logan dedicated nearly twenty years to the Joint Intelligence Agency. Now living in a secret location, under the new identify of James Ryker, he wants nothing more than to be left alone to start a new life away from chaos, violence, destruction and deceit. It’s not long, however, before Ryker’s short-lived idyll is destroyed when he’s tracked down by Peter Winter, his ex-boss at the JIA.

Winter brings news of the murder of a woman in Spain, Kim Walker, whose fingerprints match those of one of Ryker’s former adversaries who’s been missing presumed dead for years—an infamous female assassin known as the Red Cobra. A cyber attack at the JIA led to the Red Cobra’s profile being compromised, and Winter believes JIA agents may now be at risk too, Ryker included. But Ryker knew the elusive Red Cobra better than anyone, and when he sees the grisly pictures of Kim Walker’s corpse, he has news for Winter—she isn’t the assassin at all . . .

So just who is the mystery dead woman? And where is the real Red Cobra?

A fast-paced thriller filled with twists, turns, and intrigue that will grip fans of Mark Dawson and the Jason Bourne novels.

james ryker book 6

If you’re ex-intelligence agent James Ryker, you search for the answers whatever the cost, however much blood and sacrifice it takes . . .

Six months ago Lisa was taken from Ryker, and he’ll stop at nothing to find out who is responsible and why. Following a trail to Mexico, the ex-Joint Intelligence Agency asset soon finds himself in the firing line of enemies he long thought he’d left behind. Set up for the murder of a former informant, Ryker is thrown into a crumbling jail run by The Black Hornet, the notorious leader of a Mexican drug cartel. But what connects the cartel to the informant’s murder, and to Lisa’s disappearance? And just who is the mystery American claiming he can help Ryker in his hour of need?

james ryker book 6

Still tormented by the disappearance of his wife, ex-intelligence agent James Ryker sets out on a personal mission of revenge, prepared to go to any lengths in search of the truth. The trail takes him from the crystal waters of Mexico’s Caribbean coast, back to a place he thought he would never set foot again—his country of birth, England. But there he discovers more than he bargained for.

As he stumbles across a terrorist attack targeted against his old employers—the secretive Joint Intelligence Agency—the faint clues to many events in his recent past are all seemingly linked to one mysterious character: The Silver Wolf. But just who is the Silver Wolf, and why is he hell bent on punishing not just Ryker, but his closest allies at the JIA too? Has Ryker finally met his match?

Dance with the Enemy is the first book in the Enemy series of books. The story introduces us to Carl Logan who is considered to be the perfect agent. He’s a loner that is trained to deal with any situation without emotion. He is the perfect agent until the day that he is captured, tortured and left for dead by Youssef Selim, one of the world’s most violent terrorists. He’s no longer the same man that he was before that incident. When Selim reappears in Paris, Logan thinks that this is his time for revenge and begins to pursue the man. The search will take him deep into the web of lies and deceit surrounding the kidnapping, but he won’t stop until he gets his man.

The first book in the James Ryker series is called Red Cobra . Ryker is, of course, Carl Logan now living under a new identity and trying to start a new life away from all the violence of his previous life. His retirement is short-lived though as his ex-boss finds him to share the news that his longtime adversary, the Red Cobra, has been found dead. He brings Ryker in who quickly surmises that the dead woman wasn’t the Red Cobra at all.

Rob Sinclair is a critically acclaimed writer from The United Kingdom, who is famous for writing crime, fiction, thriller, and mystery books. He is particularly well known for writing the bestselling novel series called The Enemy. This series consists of espionage thriller stories that feature the embattled agent named Carl Logan. This series is known to have sold more than 200,000 printed copies till date. Author Sinclair’s Enemy series has obtained critical acclaim from a number of readers and reviewers worldwide. In fact, the readers have liked the work of author Sinclair so much that they have compared his work with the likes of top authors like Vince Flynn and Lee Child. The 4th book that author Sinclair wrote in his career is the pulsating and suspenseful psychological thriller known as Dark Fragments. It was published by the Bloodbound Books in 2016 and is described as a chilling, cleverly written, and expertly crafted story. The book went on to become one of the top 50 bestsellers on Amazon UK immediately after its publication. As of now, author Sinclair is working on his other exciting mystery series, the James Ryker series. The events in this series take off from where author Sinclair had ended the Enemy series. Just like his bestselling series, this series too shows a lot of promise and is expected to become a huge hit among the masses with its later releases. The first couple of books in this series have already been published and have received moderate success. However, the critics believe that if author Sinclair makes a few necessary modifications in the plots and characters of the upcoming, he might see a tremendous rise in the sale of the James Ryker books.

Author Sinclair was born in Sutton Coldfield, West Midlands, UK. He decided to take up writing as a full time career in the year 2009 after making a promise to his wife that he can create an intriguing thriller story on his own. As his wife is a hardcore reader of thriller novels, she did not let him break his promise and was frequently after him until he completed the novel. Before deciding to make a career in the writing field, author Sinclair used to work for an international accounting firm. Sinclair for around 13 years as an accountant after starting immediately after the completion of his graduate studies. He earned his degree from the Nottingham University in 2002 and specialized in the investigations of forensic fraud at the national & international levels. Author Sinclair has now given up his former career completely and focuses mainly on creating many more thrilling and suspenseful stories. He hails from Nort East England originally. However, he has resided and worked in numerous cities having fast paced lives, such as New York. Currently, author Sinclair is happily settled in West Midlands along with his loving wife and a couple of young sons. Sinclair has received praise from a number of literary critics for his dedication towards his work. This has boosted his confidence a lot and has motivated him to continue writing exciting books in the future as well. Author Sinclair hopes that he can keep up with the faith shown in him by his fans and followers.

The Enemy series written by Rob Sinclair is comprised of 3 books in total, which were released between the years 2014 and 2016. The plots of each of the three books revolve around the life of an agent called Carl Logan, who works for the Joint Intelligence Agency and carries out dangerous missions on the orders of his commanding officers. The first book in this series is entitled ‘Dance With The Enemy’. This book was released by the Vesey Manor publication in the year 2016, following its initial release in 2014. Author Sinclair has introduced the chief characters in this book’s story as Carl Logan, Youssef Selim, and few others. The plot takes place in Paris. At the start of the book, it is depicted that Carl Logan is a perfect agent as he is capable of carrying out any job given to him successfully. But, he seems to be a loner as he does not have any family members of any friends. Carl Logan has undergone training to handle any situation without showing any emotion and with great efficiency. Lately, Logan seems to have undergone a certain change that has made him opposite of the man that used to be. Around 5 months ago, Carl Logan was captured on a mission and was tortured extremely. He was left to die by a violent terrorist named Youssef Selim. This has changed his life to a great extent. When Youssef Selim is learnt to be in Paris having connection with the Attorney General of America’s kidnapping, Carl thinks that this is his only chance to have his revenge. He pursues Selim relentlessly and seems totally unaware of the growing destruction trail that he leaves behind. Shortly after, Carl Logan realizes that he has landed in a deep web of deceit and lies. Finally, Logan learns what it actually means to dance with an enemy.

The next novel written and published in the thriller series is called ‘Rise of the Enemy’. It was also published by Vesey Manor in 2016. Once again, author Sinclair has shown Carl Logan at the center of the plot. Apart from him, there are a few other important characters who play needful roles to carry the plot forward. At the beginning of the story, it is described that each and everyone faces a breaking point in his life at some point. It appears that Carl Logan has found his breaking point. He asked by his intelligence agency to go to Russia for carrying out a routine mission. Initially, the mission looks to be a simple one. But, the moment Carl Logan sets his foot in Russia, he finds that his cover has been blown. Following this, he is forced to enter into a world full of hell, which he did not hope to see again after his previous encounter. However, Carl feels that something is different on this occasion. Soon after, doubts begin to arise in Carl Logan’s mind making him wonder why the mission went wrong. Carl’s life has always been full of enemies, wherever he went. But, this time it has so happened that the enemy is very close to his home and he does not realize it. He wonders whether the people at his own agency have back-stabbed him by setting him up. But, he needs solid proof before he could arrive at any conclusion. Till then, the only thing he can do is take each step forward very carefully and get rid of the threats that arrive in his path.

Rob Sinclair Book List & Suggested Book Order

Rob sinclair biography.

Rob was born in the North East of England, the exact location is unknown, but it is probably either Newcastle or Sunderland. Little of his childhood or early family life is known either, but it seems he moved around quite a lot when growing up. To date, he’s lived in those two cities as well as Durham, Hull, Norwich, Birmingham, and Nottingham.

One thing that is known about Rob’s early years is that he loved reading. When a very small child, he loved the Mr Men books by English author Roger Hargreaves and as he grew, he became a big Terry Pratchett fan. Rob loved the Discworld books which he discovered when he was around 12 years old and continued reading well into his late teens.

We first catch up with Rob in that last city: Nottingham. There, Rob attended the University of Nottingham and studied Biochemistry. This is a large university with a student population of around 45,000, with the main campus set in the city, which itself is quite large by UK standards, having a population of around 330,000.

Upon graduating in biochemistry in 2002, however, Rob didn’t go into a science-based profession, but did something of a complete about-turn. On the advice of his mother, he went a far different and highly unexpected route – into the world of finance and took up accountancy.

Rob was fortunate to secure a job with Ernst and Young, one of the biggest accounting firms in the world, which has offices all around the globe. To begin with at least, Rob didn’t travel far, but took up a position in the company’s Birmingham office, around 45 miles from Nottingham. But once he’d qualified as a Chartered Accountant, his days of languishing behind a desk in Birmingham were to be numbered. Rob didn’t know it, but the world was about to open up for him in a big way.
