The Hunt by Bear Grylls

"The Hunt" by Bear Grylls - Battle in Himalayas!

This book is published by Orion in 2018 and has 368 pages. This is Book 3 of Will Jeager series. 

A Nazi tunnel is discovered. The discovering party is killed by someone. Jeager is at the scene minutes after the execution. Narov is on the trail of Grey Wolf in Dubai. A plan to rule the world is set in motion by the Nazis. A mission involving Jeager, Narov, Raff and Alonso is commissioned in South America to try and recover the lost Nazi uranium and then to Nyenchen Tanglha mountains in Tibet to destroy Nazi headquarters.

What is the Nazi plan? Who is the mastermind? Where did Ruth disappear? Who will Jeager choose? Irina or Ruth? Will the Nazis have last laugh?

Author gives a lot of technical information about weapons and gear, including its historical use in special ops. He also dabbles in special ops lore and how legendary operations were executed, takes a leaf out of them and uses it in this book. Author uses a number of ideas used by SAS in their real operations in this book (e.g. Operation Angledust). However, he is honest to disclose it.

The story is interesting. It keeps you interested. But it does not appear complete or comprehensively thought out. Ruth's inexplicable behaviour appears to be author's artistic convenience to pave way for romance of protagonists. It has no solid reasoning. How Kamler survives is not explained. How Steve and Ruth survive is not explained. Character of Hank becomes irrelevant. The story comes towards end but doesn't end and stretches for another unnecessary climax. 

In previous two books, there were para jumps in jungle and sea. In this book too they jump from an Antonov plane into snowdrifts, but without any parachute. Previous books had jungles and caves to tackle, this one has snowy mountains, valleys and plains. 

The book cover shows universal symbol of radiation, so readers get the drift of the story before they start reading. Although the book ends, author has made a provision for sequel. 

Why did I read this book? Happening story. 

What I didn't like? Stretched end, some flaws. 

What did I like? Technical details. 

Read if you have read the series.
