About this audiobook
Ciudad Juárez, Mexico, is the most dangerous city in the world. And when a mission to break the local cartel’s grip goes wrong, Isabella Rose, the Angel, finds herself on the wrong side of prison bars. Fearing the worst, Isabella plays her only remaining card…
British agent Vivian Bloom is determined to be the first to reach her, certain she will lead him to other operatives he’s under pressure to hunt down. But US agents are circling too. And with the shadowy Prometheus group pulling the strings, Isabella knows that she and her mentor, the Asset, are living on borrowed time…
The Assassin is the fourth part in a continuing story involving Isabella Rose that also includes Act I: The Angel, Act II: The Asset and Act III: The Agent.

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Nice read that I really enjoyed on my long flight
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5O black hat white hat but average stroy line and characters
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Another great Action/Adventure/Thriller from Ted Bell. I finished this one over a weekend and thoroughly enjoyed it. I can't wait to get started on the next in the series!
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Finished the second installment of the Alexander Hawke series today; the best way to describe this gentleman would be a mixture of Mitch Rapp & James Bond - action & classy.
Whilst the cast of characters may seem an eclectic mix that wouldn't work, it does, very well in fact. In this installment we see Mr Hawke's new wife gunned down and a group of Is;and Fundamentalist terrorists on a worldwide rampage hell bent on destroying 'Great Satan' ie America.
Highly enjoyable thriller, action, adventure with a touch of mystery & investigation. - Rating: 1 out of 5 stars1/5This is the second book in the Alexander Hawke series, but the first I've read.
It will probably be the only one I read.
This was such a drag to read with all the characters being stereotypes, totally illogical in their actions and completely unbelievable. There was no enjoyment in this book. The structure was totally stupid and the time lines didn't make any sense. There were two stories in this book and it was just pointless with them being their. Then there is the issue of characters who just disappeared without conclusion of their story.
Pathetic is all I can say. - Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5Exciting story about a hired assassin and a multi-billionaire middle east crackpot. I enjoyed the book and couldn't unplug my ears. Maybe, I'll read another in the series.
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5Unfortunately, Ted Bell's writing has not improved much in his second Alexander Hawke novel. He still tries to do too much, to copy too many stock characters, to have his hero too perfect, to have the villain, too evil, etc. If Bell would limit his scope and scale back the number of characters that assist Hawke, the books would be much more enjoyable. For the time being, a Clive Cussler novel (even those that he simply "co-writes") is a much better way to pass the time than an Alexander Hawke novel. I have elected not to keep reading Bell's books (at least until someone tells me that his storytelling has improved).
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Pretty good thriller. Enjoyable "read" - listened to the audiobook on my commute.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5In this second Alexander Hawke novel, Hawke is called upon to prevent a terrorist attack against the United States, leaving Stokely to track down Hawke's wife's killer. With lots of James Bond-esque action and suspense, the Hawke books are a pretty good read if you like this sort of thing. Unfortunately, we don't see the return of Thunder and Lightning, though they do get a passing mention in this book. I quite enjoyed them from the first book.There is quite a bit of language in this book, but taking into account the military types that are featured throughout, it's not a big surprise, just more profanity than I'm used to reading (almost nil). I'm very much a science fiction/fantasy reader, but the Hawke books are a nice departure from what I typically read.
