Very Nice, but not great

This book 'The Hit List' is a good book, it's a story about a former SAS soldier who tries to get back into the society.he has a job, but because of an accident he is confronted with his true nature.He became fired and thinks about his future, an old friend of him decided to attract him to a job as an secret service agency, finnally he accepts it.he will come face to face with terrorist and the things he must do are very cruel, crueler then he could had expect.I hope i didn't say to much about this book, it's truly a nice book, it's sometimes a real pageturner, but it is just not great, nice, but not great.there are may plotturns, like all of Ryan's books, but this book is definitely worth a read.
