Damien Hunter #4

by

Nathan Best

When nations clash and cartels bleed, only Taipan One Six can cut through the chaos.

The world’s dirtiest war just got personal.

Damien Hunter, commander of Taipan One Six, is pulled from the heat of Oman and thrown into a global firestorm. A Guatemalan drug lord’s family has been hijacked by Japanese operatives in a brutal power play. The target: his defiant daughter, Isabella. The stakes: control of the global narcotics trade.

From African swamps to Ukrainian war zones, Damien’s mission spirals into a high-risk pursuit across continents. The hijackers crash-land behind Russian lines. Japanese mercenaries parachute into the combat zone. Ukrainian special forces join the fight. And in the shadows, every side wants blood.

Outgunned and outnumbered, Taipan One Six must slice through mercenaries, militants, and missile fire to bring Isabella out alive. But when the mission ends, a new enemy rises – and he wants revenge.

In the world of black ops, survival is never guaranteed.

Strap yourself in...this one is going to be bloody!

Damien Hunter returns alongside the rest of Taipan One Six, and from the very first page there’s absolutely no easing into it. The book detonates straight into high‑octane action and never lets up.  

After the explosive opening, One Six is sent to extract the wife and daughter of a cartel boss from the clutches of the Japanese Yakuza. From that moment, it’s a relentless sprint—action, blood, and tension—driving all the way to a brutal climax in Ukraine.

Nathan once again delivers at the top of his game. His writing is sharp, fast, and lean, with no bloated detours—just pure story muscle. Exactly the kind of storytelling I love.

In my review of the last book, Long Surrender, I said it went from 0 to 100 in the space of a gunshot. This one starts at 100 the moment you crack it open.

Now the wait begins for the next instalment.

My thanks to Nathan and Big Sky Publishing for providing a review copy.
