The Most Dangerous Man is an intense and action-packed goodness that holds its own with the best in the genre.
US Army Ranger Staff Sgt. Jeremy Lopez is one of the best players in the field when it comes to reconnaissance and lethal combat. He’s doing covert missions in North Africa when he meets a woman who slips something more potent in his drink than what he was expecting. Now waking up in the wild, he finds out he has been chosen to be hunted by a group of sociopathic millionaires and billionaires who have grown tired of the legal pleasures of life and have now turned to hunting the most dangerous game there is, an Army Ranger. With no support but his own wits and training, Lopez must outwit and out-kill his captors and save a fellow comrade who’s held hostage by the same hunters.
I was immediately captivated by the high stakes of the narrative and Jack Murphy’s lean and mean writing that added an extra oomph to the already action-packed ride. Lopez’s introduction as a kickass character takes off superbly with an action sequence that not only showcases his superior-than-most skill set but also his humanity to protect his brothers in arms. This also sets the stage for a brilliantly violent and unpredictable hunt where we see Lopez take every opportunity to turn the hunters into the hunted in spectacular fashion that took me back to the iconic writing of David Morrell’s First Blood. The action hits hard and crisp with fiery intensity that gets your heart racing and giddy with excitement. The momentum stays strong throughout the story once it sets up the bad guys, holding your attention fully till the last showdown where the hows and whys tie up neatly for a satisfying payoff.
The Most Dangerous Man is a kinetic and stellar action-packed thrill ride to the finish with an eye for details that would appease the most hardcore of readers who appreciate that extra attention to combat and firearms.
