Way to much slowness for me

Reviewed in Australia on 4 December 2021

There are bits of action but all the slow bits meant that I started flicking pages. Parts were great, but not enough to keep my interest, nor read the next book.

Great Start To A New Series

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 29 May 2021

My first book by this author, and the first in a new series, good to catch a new series from the beginning.

THEY TOOK HIS LOVE.
THEY TOOK HIS VOICE.
HE’LL TAKE THEIR LIVES.

Before he became a vigilante assassin, a legend feared by criminals, Silence Jones’s previous life was stolen from him in one night—his fiancée murdered, his throat crushed, and his face destroyed.

His brutal revenge leaves behind a long trail of mangled bodies, which captures the attention of a covert group hidden in plain sight within U.S. government. The organization makes Silence an irresistible offer: if he joins their ranks as an assassin, they’ll lend their full support to his blood-soaked rampage.

But when Silence discovers that the people who killed his fiancée have much bigger plans in mind—plans with deadly implications for national security—his mission suddenly shifts focus from vengeance to duty. A catastrophe is ready to explode, and the only person who can stop it is an untested assassin.

The first standalone action thriller in the pulse-pounding new series. Enter the world of Silence Jones. Hold on tight…

Being the first in the series there are flashbacks, which normally I do not like but I have the full understanding of the importance of introducing a new character, new story and a good history, which this does well.

Well paced action thriller, of course my favourite type of thriller. As a reader you will learn Silence Jones is "No superhero", he makes his mistakes and pays for it.

A great start to the action thriller series, which is filled with great authors and even more bad authors. Some good ones mentioned below.

If you like action heroes with the steely resolve of Lee Child’s Jack Reacher, the calculating will of Gregg Hurwitz’s Orphan X, and the raw power of Mark Greaney’s Gray Man, Tom Wood's Victor the Assassin, Kerry J Donovan's Ryan Kaine, Steven Konkoly's Ryan Decker, Ben Coes's Dewey Andreas and Mark Dawson's John Milton then you’ll love Silence Jones.

Had potential but failed for me

Sadly I do not enjoy stories that go back and forth in time. A bit like the climax at the end of episode 1 that concludes at the start of episode 3 as episode 2 goes elsewhere. Secondly he either moves like greased lightning or …….he doesn’t and gets beaten. No, no more me

Made a change from the usual Jack Reacher clones .
Different character , original idea .
Easy to read .
But .... far too many flashbacks .
Would prefer the book and character to live in the moment , not the past.

Perfect name for an avenger Silence Jones! Well crafted story, characters are riveting, with great attention to keep the plot moving along. Recommend it highly, we’ll be reading the entire trilogy!!

Can we discover who we are?

I read the 2nd book in this series first. Then I had to read THE SUPPRESSOR to discover how the lead character got to the point in the story that earned his name. What was enthralling for me was the beginning of the journey that lead through his mental processes to his final identity.
Author Carter wove his main character through the maze that kept me on the edge of my seat in anticipation of the final chapter

No - Rating 2 out of 5.

Reviewed in the United States on 7 June 2021

No sadly, this book seems like a pot-boiler, and despite it's May 9th 2021 publication date in the back and it apparently being the start of the Silence Jones series, I note there's 4 other books also already available. Not as book I'd recommend to anyone I'm afraid, as it also contained several errors of chronology, and repeated uses of the same adjective in the same paragraph...sometimes in the same sentence. The geographical descriptions of Pensacola and Florida lacked credence and didn't add anything to the sense of the storyline. The major flaw I found however was other than briefly at the opening of the book when the Pete Hudson character was described, I wasn't at all invested in the main character or his revengeful rampage that was really all the book was. One highlight was Tanner, a very well drawn and quite likeable character. If I were the author I'd write novels based on him and get shot of Silence (literally).

Erik Carter is next level in thriller and suspense. Original writing like you've never read before. Don't start before bedtime! BTW I'm from South Africa.

I enjoyed this new super hero character, it goes well with the story linr.

Reviewed in the United States on 3 October 2021

Book one showed me a new and exciting character to follow even if his vocabulary is limited, it goes well with the type of business he has wrangled his self into. Even if I'm the beginning it was something he wasn't looking for. This is one character I hope to enjoy reading thru the escapades which will draw him into.
