AUTHOR OF THE BBC RADIO 2 BOOK CLUB HIT BETTER OFF DEAD

From hot thriller author Tom Wood comes the latest breathtaking Victor novel - The Day of the Jackal meets Jason Bourne, with a thoroughly modern twist.

'Terrifically fun and explosively propulsive'
Gregg Hurwitz, author of Orphan X

Even a killer can be a hero

If the assassin known only as Victor once had a moral compass, it is long since buried, along with his many victims. Yet some men are so evil even Victor accepts they must die for reasons other than just money.

One such is Milan Rados, a former commander in the Serbian army who has escaped trial at The Hague to become a formidable criminal power. Tracking down and killing this brutal man will win Victor a reprieve for his own recent crimes on British soil.

But Victor isn't the only one who wants Rados dead. A woman, whose family was butchered on the tyrant's orders, will do anything to see Rados' blood spilled on the snow of Eastern Europe. Now Victor has an unlikely ally - but an army stands between them and justice.

Product description

Review

Reading Tom Wood is a blast - terrifically fun and explosively propulsive. Riding shotgun with darker-than-dark antihero Victor on his missions is like mainlining adrenaline into your veins. As this better demon lays waste to his enemies-and to genre conventions-you'll find yourself smiling despite your best efforts. (Gregg Hurwitz, author of Orphan X)

Very few British writers are as good at this sort of all-action thriller. Victor makes Bond look like Milly-Molly-Mandy. (Sunday Express)

A Time to Die is action thriller in pure Darwinian form . . . Lean, mean and utterly ruthless, Wood's achievement is to get the reader to root for this assassin (Weekend Herald) --This text refers to an alternate kindle_edition edition.

Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

Tom Wood is a full-time writer born in Burton-on-Trent who now lives in London. After a stint as freelance editor and film-maker, he completed his first novel and introduced readers to a genuine antihero, Victor, an assassin with a purely logical view on life and whose morals are deeply questionable. Like Victor, Tom is passionate about physical sport, being both a huge boxing fan and practising Krav Maga martial arts, which has seen him sustain a number of injuries. He has not, however, ever killed anyone.

Victor series: (1) The Killer aka The Hunter, (2) The Enemy, (3) The Game, (4) No Tomorrow aka Better Off Dead, (5) The Darkest Day, (6) A Time to Die, (7) The Final Hour, (8) Kill For me, plus the short stories Bad Luck in Berlin, and Gone Tomorrow.

Exquisitely executed eloquence.

Reviewed in Australia on 4 November 2018

I really enjoyed this book. With each tale, more is revealed of Victor's past, bis persona. His skill in verbal exchanges and use of language were impressive in this chapter. Victor's moral code is of his own making. In the end, will there be only one?

Victor back on form!!!!

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 21 October 2016

A time to day is the 6th Victor and is back on best form. In the previous two books it looked like Victor was turning into the Hitman with the heart of gold and not his ruthless self. However this book sees Victor back in Eastern Europe going after some good old Serbian bad guys. Much more his style and he is back rubbing out his rivals with his old Teutonic efficiency.
In short Victor, now working for the jolly British has to infiltrate a Serbian crime syndicate and get to the top man and uncovers a grimy world of human trafficking and many other lurid schemes. Needless to say a a lot people get Victored along the way.
This a is cracking good read and which bar the inconvenience of life I would have devoured in a day.
For those of you who mourn the demise of Jack Reacher, please pick up Mr Wood's creation you will not regret it. I have already converted two people into solid Victor fans and I eagerly await the next in series.

A page turner if ever there was

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 7 May 2016

I have read all the "Victor" novels and I found A Time to Die the most compelling and well thought out. There were twists in the plot which were completely unexpected but which added enormously to my enjoyment of the book. The fact that I finished it in record time speaks volumes. I would say to any "Victor" fan who has not yet read it you don't know what you are missing!

Not as strong as previous books

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 23 October 2016

Verified Purchase

I am a fan of the series but this one didn’t quite hit the mark as has previous novels. Victor (our “hero”) is a blank slate and deliberately void of much personality. To balance this, the books are all about his tradecraft and placing him in strong plots. In this he takes a commission to take out an ex-war criminal, now crimelord in Belgrade. At the same time someone has put a price on his head so while working on his task, Victor has to keep an eye over his shoulder. Which he does anyway. All the time.
So he infiltrates the bad guys, and finds he has a few things in common with the guy he is out there to kill. He shows a slightly softer side on occasion, but generally this is all about Victor keeping a few steps ahead of everything and generally being cleverer than everyone.
The problem is that we have seen much of this before and the plot is not strong enough to carry repetition and a lack of personality.
So this was okay but not up to the high standards the author has set with his previous books.

Outstanding

I am always amazed by the level of detail Tom Wood puts in to his work, he has a true gift when it come to this genre. It is very easy to immerse yourself in these novels and you will find yourself swept off to foreign lands full of exotic peoples while scoping out the best way to carry out the next mission. For a man who claims never to have killed anyone, he sure knows a lot of ways to do it! These novels are as intriguing as they are exciting. The twists and turns in the plot will keep you turning the pages into the wee hours. Enjoy!

i like Victor almost as much as Jack Reacher, a perfect anti hero . Brilliantly written , engaging characters , exciting plots . i am enjoying getting to know the character and watching his development as his humanity returns a little more with each book .
