Hellfire

Ryan Mitchell #4

by Richard Turner

In 1969, the Soviet Union lands a probe on the Moon to gather a soil sample. However, before the probe's return vehicle returns to Earth, the mission is hastily shut down and the return vehicle is programmed to burn up in Earth's atmosphere.


In the present, Ryan Mitchell and his team of former special operations soldiers are hired to find the missing probe, which is believed to have come down on a barren, ice-covered island in the South Atlantic. However, someone else wants what is hidden away deep inside the return vehicle and will stop at nothing to get their hands on it. From the South Atlantic, to Russia, to Venezuela to a secret installation in the mountains of Albania, the race to discover the truth is on.


This time, however, the fate of billions hangs in the balance.

Ryan & Jen, strike another ome

5 stars. Richard Turner continues his streak with Hellfire. The characters are believable and fun. The situations they find themselves in are very interesting and fun.

Another try at saving humanity!

Ryan Mitchell and his friends are hired to find a Russian lunar probe which fell back to earth in the late 1960s. But who wants it now? Why is there deadly competition to secure the payload fifty years later?

Typical Class C Novel

All the pieces fell together too predictably. And the typical ending, the good guy wins and goes off on vacation with the sexy lady.

Great characters throughout.

[Wayne Inkster · Rating 4 out of 5]

If it is possible, this was the most action packed of the series thus far!

Overall, a good and quick read!

[Shubhra · Rating 4 out of 5]

Over time you do grow fond of the fast-paced, slightly over the top, but believable plot-lines of the Ryan Mitchell series. A close-knit, well-bonded team, with attractive character quirks.
Here, the team battles a megalomaniac who's willing to sacrifice a couple of billion people to get tons of power - and it's been detailed in such a way that the book is up-put-down-able.
Of particular praise is the climax, which defines the zenith of thrill and team-work.
A good thriller for fans of thrillers and for casual readers alike!
