Two action novels which celebrate the power of the individual

When it comes to many action novels, it is very often one man or woman against an entire system. The odds are always stacked against them, but they always seem to find a way to get the job done. Here are two such novels.


The Rescue by Steven Konkoly

Ryan Decker as once highly-skilled CIA operative. Now he’s a gun for hire, taking jobs to pay the bills and taste the thrills. His speciality is retrieving victims of abductions. His takes a job to rescue the daughter of a power US senator. But what to him seems like a straightforward mission turns catastrophically wrong. The daughter is killed, his team eliminated and his own wife and son executed by the Russian mafia. Decker is convinced he was set up but is jailed for his part it all.


A decade on, though, someone needs his help again but when he is mysteriously released from prison, Decker is sceptical. A shadowy figure has information that the botched raid was a set-up and Decker is eager for revenge and is determined to take down those who ruined his life.

Wild Card by Stuart Woods

In the latest in the Stone Barrington series of novels, Stone finds his peaceful existence disturbed by an enemy. However, the former police detective, turned private investigator and all-round fixer has enough experience to know how to deal with him.


But it turns out this is just the beginning. The attacks keep coming and the plans get more sophisticated and suddenly Stone finds himself in a high-stakes game against a powerful adversary in which the whole fate of the country is in jeopardy.

Robert Ludlum – The man behind the Bourne trilogy

Those with an interest in the action-adventure genre will love reading the fiction adventure novels of Robert Ludlum. Among the most eminent thriller writers of his time, he also was the creator of the very popular Bourne trilogy (later made into the blockbuster Bourne movie series).


The features that make his novels so engrossing are his combination of nail-biting suspense with attention to meticulous detail. Every single novel of his made it to the #1 New York best seller list, too.Here is a peek at the first two novels that set the benchmark for spy novels.


The Bourne Identity

The novel begins with a doctor finding an unconscious man in a desolate area. While the doctor treats him he finds the man has many scars, old wounds and surgeries and no clue about his identity. Upon regaining consciousness the man has no recollection of the past. An engrossing book, it teases the reader with multiple questions and the piecemeal unravelling of the man’s identity.


The Bourne Supremacy

The suspense continues when the man Jason remembers bit and pieces of his life. While he has periodic flashbacks he sets about unravelling his identity. Along the way,he has to stop a man who is copying his mannerisms and style while executing people. Jason has the task of stopping this assassin. Like with the first novel, the beginning is slow but picks up the pacelater!
