About this eBook
Some authors just write about it. Chris Ryan has been there, done it, and lived to tell the tale. Agent 21 is the first in the action-packed adventure series by the real-life SAS hero.
When Zak Darke's parents die in an unexplained mass murder he's left alone in the world. That is until he's sought out by a mysterious man: 'I work for a government agency,' the man tells him. 'You don't need to know which one. Not yet. All you need to know is that we've had our eye on you. There's a possibility you could help us in certain . . . operational situations.'
Zak becomes Agent 21. What happened to the 20 agents before him he'll never know. What he does know is that his life is about to change for ever . . .

Quite a good start to what promises to be a gripping series if the Author continues in the same vain. A few of the plot elements did seem to move a little too quickly. Given that this was our introduction to a new lead character, I felt that perhaps a little more detail on his psychological outlook could have added more depth. Overall a good read that leaves you wondering what's next for our young hero.

I thought this book was an interesting and engaging read. I've read a few of the Alex Rider books and enjoyed them but I think this book is better. Already bought the next book and looking forward to reading it :)

The more you read, the more you immerse yourself into this James Bond type of adventure, yet unique by a way of its own. Didn't just read, felt the story. The best spy adventure I've read so far 💯👌
