When it comes to Russia only one thing is certain — nothing is what it seems.
When rumors of an illegal chemical weapons program surface from the heart of Moscow, Wolfgang and his team of elite espionage operatives are deployed to extract the informant, along with proof of the program.
The mission is loaded with dangers from the start, but at the last minute a critical piece of intelligence changes everything, and brings the lives of thousands into jeopardy.
With the team fractured, Russian officials hot on their heels, and a rogue chemist only telling half the truth, Wolfgang will have to think outside the box if he has any hope of saving his team.
Logan Ryles is the author of more than two dozen thrillers, including the bestselling Mason Sharpe and Prosecution Force series. Known for stories that hit like a freight train, his novels deliver cinematic pacing, grit, and tightly woven plots that have earned him a global readership. With over 800,000 copies sold and translations reaching the German market, Ryles’s work resonates with fans of Lee Child, Vince Flynn, and David Baldacci.
His path to writing full-time was anything but ordinary: from running a sawmill to driving for Uber to working in finance, he eventually returned to his lifelong passion for storytelling—a dream he began pursuing at just fourteen years old.
A native of the South, Ryles lives in coastal Alabama with his wife, Annie, and their two dogs, where he continues to write high-octane adventures rooted in faith, grit, and a love of the genre.

Charlie team is hired by the CIA to extract a Russian scientist who's developed dangerous bio weapon. As always, things don't go as per plan and this time Charlie Lead gets taken by the SVR. Some old Russian "friends" of Wolfgang who were there in the first book make appearance here as well. Charlie team not only as to do the extraction job but to save their leader as well. It was better than the Cairo adventure. A quick, fast paced read with no useless fillers. Gonna pick next one soon.
THE WOLFGANG PIERCE SERIES Good story lines, good characters and plenty of action with good dialog and some humor. There are parts of hollywood influence and some boring bits. Source: Ryles' ARC team.
That Time in Appalachia, prequel - An intense, riveting story about the two days before his fifteenth birthday that changes Pierce's life forever. Recommend read first. 5* That Time in Paris, #1 - After working for SPIRE for three years, Wolfgang is working with Edrick now and becomes part of the elite Charlie Team. Pretty neat trick how Wolf stopped a merger. 4* That Time in Cairo, #2 - Picks up four months after Paris ends. I was a bit bored with this story. It was too much hollywood for me, but what they found was interesting in several points. 3* That Time in Moscow, #3 - Pick ups one month after Cairo. Interesting confrontation with a Russian W met in Paris. W is showing more of his insubordination, his inexperience, which of course, moves the story forward. 4* That Time in Rio, #4 - Picks up exactly where Moscow ends. Plenty of action. 4* That Time in Tokyo, #5 - Picks up three months after Rio. Boring beginning and gets worse. Quit at near end of chapter eight. Megan should not have been in Tokyo. She is a disruptive force on the team; there is no team now, lovesick sap or protective brother behavior do not have a place here. 1* That Time in Sydney, #6 - Intense with a lot of happenings. Several characters from the past return. 5* That Time in Bangkok, #7 - Cliffhanger. It's 2013 and Wolf is down and out. The Director shows up with a job. Interesting, intense and plenty of action and a determination to succeed made this a quickly read story. 4*
This was book number 3 in the series about Wolfgang Pearce and the rest of Charlie Team. These books are fast and punchy and almost impossible to put down. I also really like the fact that they are fairly short stories. We all lead busy lives but there is no excuse not to introduce a little excitement which all of these books do. The quality of writing by Logan Ryles, as you would expect, is to an extremely high standard. Another well deserved 5 stars.
The fast pace of the storyline ,the characters and the book's theme. I think the writer has done a very good job it has kept me interested and reading. I have read books 1 and 2 and I have book 3 already downloaded.
This was the best and most exciting of tbe series thusfar. I really enjoy the believability of these adventures and characters! Very enjoyable storyline and interesting!
