Jack Gregory, the CIA's top assassin, bleeds out on a Calcutta operating table and is about to die.

But an alien entity has other plans for him.

If Jack is willing to act as a human host for this dark figure, he lives.  Jack takes the deal. One year later, he is internationally known as The Ripper, fixer for hire, and finds himself increasingly drawn to dire, world-shattering events. Suffering strange premonitions and compulsions, Jack has more questions than answers.  What destiny does this alien mind foresee? Why has it chosen him?

From bestselling author Richard Phillips comes a globe-spanning sci-fi thriller series with a twist ... culminating in the cataclysmic events that set the stage for The Rho Agenda.

    5,0 von 5 Sternen Great Book - could not put it down

    I like spy and action novels and this one was definitely its money worth.

    Only the ending is a little bit too American hero like. But who doesn't like a Hollywood ending. :-)

    3,0 von 5 Sternen A bit boring
    Bewertet in Deutschland am 20. Oktober 2019
    The first three books of this whole rho agenda series were quite promising. However the following books already felt kind of boring, as if a lot less thought had been put into them. This book here (and the 2 following), an offspring of the original series, is plain boring. On top, the guy who reads the audio books, tends to get quite annoying. His constant change to a fake low voice, gives a feeling as if he is reading it to a child, down to a point that it realy gets tiring. It's a pity, cause the rho agenda did start quite promising, including the speaker. But then trailed off, trying to achieve too much and containing too much content that feels like pointless fillers, to increase the number of pages. And on top this annoying speaker now.

    5,0 von 5 Sternen Action
    Bewertet in Deutschland am 6. November 2016
    There is something which develops through all three books.
    Each book has its own story, but you really should read them in order.
    The stories in the books are really different, not as in many series, where each book is the same again. (Which sometimes is what you like)

    The protagonist(s) is (are) working for the NSA (USA), at least... kind of.
    The main story in each book is always towards something big and interesting.

    There is a lot of action. And the action is good to read. The rest is good to read too.

    This is not a "have to" read, but I read all three books in one go.

    5,0 von 5 Sternen intelligent und spannend
    Bewertet in Deutschland am 19. Januar 2015
    Die Story erinnert an James Bond Filme. Der Held Jack hat aber ansonsten keine Gemeinsamkeiten mit 007. Besessen und in Gefahr die menschliche Kontrolle über sich zu verlieren, führt er zunächst einen einsamen Kampf. NSA black OPS Agentin Jane wird seine Partnerin im atemlosen Rennen gegen die Zeit und Verräter aus den eigenen Reihen. Phillips hat den Bogen raus, wie man einen spannenden und intelligenten Scifi-Krimi schreibt. Hab mir gleich die Fortsetzung besorgt.

    5,0 von 5 Sternen Jack Gregory one helluva hero.
    Bewertet in den USA am27. August 2014
    Verifizierter Kauf
    Just one great read.

    Jack Gregory was a CIA assassin. A very good one.

    He threw it all away in order to get to the man who killed his brother. He's in Calcutta to do just that.

    The killer didn't come alone though. After Jack breaks his arm and is well on his way to killing the SOB, the six men with him attack and leave Gregory covered in knife wounds. Gregory kills them all but the killer of his brother, Carlton "Priest" Williams, ex Delta Force mercenary escapes. Williams was also ex Ranger, ex Green Beret and a betrayal to all that the men of special forces stood for.

    Jack is badly wounded and does die.

    While on the way to death a dark force called Anchanchu asks him for a lift.

    Anchanchu explains that Jack will remain in control of his own being. His nature will be unchanged. The dark force gets to experience the hosts emotions for the duration of the ride. The dark force can only exist in one host at a time and once accepted he will remain with Jack until he dies.

    He explains the overall effect is that Jack will still love what he loves and hate what he hates but much hotter. He will be the same person he always was, just a little bit more so. He will be drawn to situations that spike his adrenaline. He further explains that because of that few of his hosts live to a ripe old age.

    Jack accepts the challenge and invites Anchanchu along for the ride. Jack comes alive after being declared dead by a Calcutta doctor with pictures and a death certificate as proof.

    The nun, Sister Mary Judith, who got him to the doctor looks into his eyes and says, "Dear Lord, the Ripper walks the earth."

    Jack Gregory becomes "The Ripper." The Ripper is for hire.

    So begins one damned fine read.

    This one has Jack, Janet Price who turns into an allie, Rachel Koenig, Rolf Koenig, a Rolf Koenig with a plan to change the world, a Russian mobster named Rostov, a good friend named Rita Chavez, Deputy Dirctor of the CIA Nolan Trent, a CIA killer named Jacob Knox, an Anchanchu who is more than excited about his host, Big John one hell of an NSA computer, Admiral Jonathan Riles the director of the NSA, Levi Elias of the NSA, death, betrayal and one hell of a kick ass read. Just super.

    Five Stars and then some.

    I really enjoyed reading this novel. Jack Gregory the main character undertakes some interesting assignments as a freelance operator/agent who has had extra terrestrial intervention in his life. The storyline has many twists and turns which keeps the reader interested and guessing about Jack's adventures. Looking forward to the rest of the series.

    4,0 von 5 Sternen Rho Agenda Trilogyのprequels、楽しめます
    Bewertet in Japan am 12. Juli 2016
    Verifizierter Kauf
    Rho Agenda Trilogyでは脇役だったジャックとジャネットが主人公の3部作。
    時系列では、
    Once Dead
    Dead Wrong
    Dead Shift
    の順になります。
    Rho Trilogyでは、ジャックに超人的な能力があることの理由が謎でしたが、それはOnce Deadで明らかになります。
    3部作ではあるけど、それぞれが完結していて、個人的にはOnce DeadとDead Shiftがお勧め。
    特にDead ShiftはAI、VR、ハッキングの話がメインなので、この分野が好きな人は楽しめると思います。
    いずれもライトリード。話のテンポが早いから、疲れません。

    5,0 von 5 Sternen Brilliant, addictive, high octane adrenaline rush of a read.
    Bewertet in Großbritannien am 3. April 2017
    Verifizierter Kauf
    Think of numerous words that imply, brilliant and addictive and they will all relate to this book. This is the first book by Richard Phillips that I have read, but I ordered his complete bibliography before I had even finished this book.

    I read a review that described this as Jason Bourne with a supernatural twist. That kind of sum's it up, but there is minimal emphasis on the supernatural aspect, I expect that to blossom in later books. This book is exceptionally well written, the characters are vivid and the danger and Adrenalin leaks from these books and infuses the reader. The pace it sets puts you on the edge of your seat and the action scenes are vivid high octane rushes that quickly become addictive. The plot is very inventive and the bad guys are at least plausible with acceptable twisted logic for their nefarious machinations. (Except for the CIA bad guy – whose motivations would be best summed up as demented)

    The "hero" Jack Gregory, lies on the precipice of death and makes a deal with an alien entity that he thinks of as a demon, who in exchange for allowing it to bond with him brings him back to life. Apart from a few references to it hyping up the intensity of his emotions and Jack having to guard against this, it doesn’t really have much impact on this book. The emphasis is on the espionage, fight scenes and danger.

    Jack Gregory used to work for the CIA and its implied he was an assassin. But now everyone thinks he’s dead and he hires himself out as a fixer of problems for the very rich. He doesn’t get paid to kill people only to fix problems, but people tended to die anyway. And those deaths, the conflicts and fights, are all very brutal, dirty but efficient, and so very addictive to read. Jack doesn’t hesitate to kill, destroy or torture those he believes deserves it. He is an efficient and deadly and unpredictable killer that understandably scares everyone else not him. Jack gets hired to fix a mobster problem by a wealthy trophy wife, but she doesn’t understand the actual problem and it’s just the tip of the iceberg of a diabolical plot basically intended to destroy America. The NSA get wind of “something” and realise Jack Gregory is in the thick of it so they send their top agent Janet Price, who is almost as skilled and deadly as jack, to help. Jack then gets targeted by a Russian mobster and his gang, a billionaires paid lackeys, and a top CIA assassin and the CIA in general. And every time they try to kill jack, even when he’s escaped the trap and could just escape, he always turns back round to hunt and kill his would be attackers with ruthless efficiency.

    In short I loved this book. I enjoyed the plot, I revelled in the action, rooted for the ruthless deadly hero, and soon became addicted to the action, pace and ferocity of the story. The author did and exceptional job of getting the ideal balance between back story, character development and action scenes.
