They failed to kill him once. Now they’re back to finish the job.
He wakes from a coma with no memory of who he is or what happened.
He must find himself before his enemies do.
Unwillingly thrust into a world of high stakes industrial espionage, the man known as Roach must fight back against the people who betrayed him and left him for dead. But when his crusade for vengeance starts putting those he cares about at risk, he is forced to question who the real enemy is: the people trying to kill him… or the man in the mirror?
This compelling thriller introduces a deeply-flawed hero, plagued by nightmares borne from his own haunted psyche. Disillusioned by a world he believes is beyond saving, he’s a man who is done fighting for other people. Now, he simply wants to fight for himself.
If you enjoy Jason Bourne or John Wick, you’ll be addicted to this.

Best book I’ve read in awhile. Never a dull moment!! The main character was great and believable. Plentybof action but not gratuitous. Will look forward to the next in the series!!
Alexandra Murray –
A Thriller in the truest sense, we are introduced to a new ‘seeker of justice’. All the bad guys needed to do was leave Roach alone. With great dialogue and scene descriptions. You feel as though you are right there. I read this book in one sitting as could not put it down.
Immensely looking forward to the next one. I received an advance copy for a honest review.

WOW! Hard To Kill is an explosive start to a new series! I LOVED it!
I love getting to know a new character, especially at the start of a new series as I know there will be more books to come. I can’t wait for book 2 in this series.
When we first meet Roach, he is in a coma, in a private hospital facility. It’s fairly obvious that this is no ordinary hospital, so I was instantly intrigued as to why I was being introduced to this man no-one seemed to know anything about and why he was where he was. When he wakes, he doesn’t remember anything about himself either and a doctor’s telephone call well, and truly, kicks the story off with an almighty bang.
I was as eager as Roach to find out who is, and why there are people seemingly wanting him dead.
When his memories are triggered all starts to fall in to place in his mind and he soon finds himself defending his own life and that of a loved one.
Roach isn’t your typical likable character, especially at the start as we know nothing about him. He definitely grew on me though! However, I certainly wouldn’t want to get on the wrong side of him. He knows how to sort the bad guys out, even though they often know how to hold their own too. The fight scenes are awesome throughout this book! Brutal, but brilliant! Roach reminds me of John Wick. He never comes out unscathed, which I think makes it massively more realistic. An easy fight isn’t very exciting either at the end of the day, is it?
I enjoyed the fact that Roach is a flawed character who might know his way around a gun and isn’t scared of taking a life when he needs to, but he still loves his family and is clearly not amused when someone threatens one of his own. This concern does cloud his judgement on occasion which I think is only natural. It’s a different ball game than just having himself to worry about.
I thought the scene with his mother was really sad.
There are twists and turns galore throughout this story and it is an easy book to lose yourself in. Full of suspense, and breathtaking action with an ending which left me wanting more.
I highly recommend to any thriller lovers among you. Or indeed if you have never read a thriller before, or don’t consider yourself a fan. This might just change your mind!

A fast action story by James P. Sumner for the start of his next series, “Hard To Kill” “ROACH” ,the main character, grabbed me from the first sentence and didn’t let go until the last one. I do love Sumner’s writing but this one seemed to somehow tell a great story as all the chills and thrills are going on. The story is well fleshed out as are the characters, especially Roach! You get all the feels with this one. I was glued to my seat for the entire read. I can’t wait to see what happen to Roach in the next book. Definitely a five star, I expect nothing less from Sumner. I highly recommend this read!! Don’t miss it!
I was provided an advance of this book for my honest review.

Mr. Sumner – creator of Adrian Hell and author of many thriller books has a new protagonist, Roach. As is his style, Roach is a tough fellow who battles his way through assorted problems while grabbing the sympathy of the reader. The world order is under attack and Roach trying to straighten it all out. This is a good read and I look forward to the continued exploits of Roach as he follows the twisted treads around the world in search of the real cause. I don’t think he has found it yet!
Lynn Hallbrooks –
I truly believe this new series in the Adrian Hell/GlobaTech universe promises to toss in a few unexpected surprises. “Roach” is trained but not as well-trained as Adrian Hell or the D.E.A.D team. However, I suspect he could go toe-to-toe with them when he’s at full capacity.
Ken fowler –
A brilliant new novel from Jps a strong character with principles who just wants to be left alone and we all know how that goes ! Dragged back into the world of mercenaries, private security and personal vendetta Roach does what he has to do to protect his family and survive, with plenty of interaction along the way
