The Survivors - Daniel Harvell

I admit thinking "this story is so told". When I started reading I thought it was another 'they should have died and the grim reaper is coming to get them novel' from the outset I was hooked because Daniel is such a fluid writer. The story was very enjoyable and does have similarities to Heroes. I hope the end does not mean that his current characters will not feature in his next novel because I became very fond of them.

Ageless Spy - DC Mahoney

This novel is continuously exciting. Carl Coles puts aside his personal life and sacrifices himself for his country for years. He struggles with choices such as getting married to the women he loves. Is it selfish for him to involve her? Despite all the tragedy I don't think this noble man would have done anything differently.

As selfless as Carl Coles is, is he selfish to his loved ones always putting his career first?  

If you are a fan of action/adventure and intrigue this novel is a definite must.  This is one of those novels that is hard to put down.

Its been a long while - criteria for book review

I have not been doing reviews for a long time.  My apologies to anybody that I promised a review to.  I am getting going again.  Due to the fact that I get hundreds of requests every month.  I have the following criteria, before considering a review.

1. It is a free service to help struggling authors - if you are financially well off kindly use a paid for service.
2. I can only do one book per author at this stage.
3. If you are a well known author, I am doing this service for the unknowns to help them, kindly do not take advantage.
4. If you have more than 5 reviews on kindle, kindly do not ask me, I am as I said before helping those that have the biggest need.

Review Price of Justice- Alan Brenham




I don't want to give away the plot because it is very exciting but this novel also brings to light the question whether we are ever justified to kill.  I don't think any of us can answer that or ever want to be in a situation that we actually know the answer.

 Being a parent I wonder if I would not have done the same thing that the main character does?  This is an exciting read and I am glad to say that the good guys win against the worst type of monsters, paedophiles.

The way Alan uses the responses to translate the German at one stage is very clever.  This is a worthwhile read and while we are reminded that monsters lurk around us we are also reminded that there are good people that work very hard for justice.
