Hunt for the Enemy is the third book in the Enemy series, and is a fast-moving, exciting spy/espionage thriller featuring Carl Logan. In this novel (most likely the final in the series), Carl finds that his identity has been wiped off the earth, and his own Joint Intelligence Agency is trying to kill him. They consider him a traitor and think he is a rouge agent and has murdered several agents and others. Mackie, his boss, has been killed, and Carl is blamed. Before running from Russia, Carl stops to pick up Angela Grainger, who once shot him and left him for dead, but who was also someone he was in love with. She is also on the wanted list, and while she was his love at one time, he rescues her from her Russian captors out of personal duty. He has reason to distrust her, but since he is a believable hero, does the right thing.

Sinclair knows how to build suspense, and it starts at the beginning of the novel and continues to the dénouement. There are, as with any good thriller, and especially Sinclair’s style, difficult scenarios, and ups and downs that aren’t always believable as they would relate to real life, but they work in this novel and help move the story along. There is a love aspect, that adds a bit of relief from the suspense, and readers will find it difficult to put down. Carl is well-developed, especially for those who have read the previous novels, and he seems like a real person, albeit someone who lives a dangerous fairy-tale life and is able to kill without conscience because it is his job. He seems like a decent, likeable person, and appeals to readers.

Although there are ruthless killings, there is no real graphic violence, sex, or language, which is nice, and helps the book along. Those who have read the previous novels in the series will enjoy this one, and, while it can be read as a stand-alone novel, it is recommended that the two previous novels be read to bring the readers up to speed on the characters. This is a good one.

Carl Logan is on the run. After two decades of loyal service, he's being framed for a murder he did not commit and branded a traitor to his firm, the Joint Intelligence Agency (JIA). But, Carl Logan refuses to go down without a fight and resolves to finally bring to a close what was started many years ago.

Wanted by the Americans, the Russians as well as his own agency, trained former 'wonder kid' and assassin Logan has gone from hunter to hunted leaving him with very few places to hide and even fewer people he can turn to for help. However, Logan is a man who will not slow down until he uncovers the truth and clears his name once and for all.

​Questions need to be answered and with few friends willing to help, and even less people he can trust, he's finding that his only way to survive the ride is in putting his trust into some of his oldest and worst enemies. One by one, agents and informants from all sides, all allegiances, are dying. And Carl Logan is the only man who can put a stop to it, once and for all.

A powerful, breathtaking pursuit ensues in which Logan races against the clock. Time is quickly running out with the enemy fast closing in. There is hardly a moment for the reader to catch breath or try to make sense of what is going on, before the novel launches into a brilliant action packed new chapter. Old characters make an appearance, new ones are introduced, and as more of Carl Logan's past life unfurls we are offered insight into the mind of this enigmatic anti-hero. This may be a finale but one can only hope it is not the last we hear about a character that one has grown quite fond of.

'Hunt for the Enemy' is book 3 of the Enemy Series. The two previous include 'Dance with the Enemy' (book 1) & 'Rise of the Enemy' (book 2).

The last book in the series and you have Logan running for his life but doing it on his own. The agency has wiped out his existence and now his own people plus others are hunting him down. Action packed once again from the beginning to the end. You also have Angelia Granger from the first book in this one which was a little surprising, but still added to this story and made for a good read. The added characters did not take away from the story only enhanced it. His having to be on the run and the different places really made for a fast read as well. A very good story, sorry to see it go away.

This is the third book in the Carl Logan series and I have now read all three. The story seemed improbable and too contrived, with a rather bumbling secret agent loosing control of both his feelings and the plot ar regular times. I find it hard to recommend this and would only do so if you have read the other two books.
