Ecellent read, this is a book that stands out as something special. Great story, well plotted and unmissable,.
A thrilling revenge story. Looks awesome. Can't wait to get my paws on it!
Great premise, cool cover!
Good pace and well thought out. I love Glenn's writing style and the depth of his characters always keeps me interested. Great book !
Love the writing style, the 'voice' that sounds so clear its like he's sitting next to my bed reading to me. Check out his website; it's cool without being in any way contrived. Great cover designs, too. This writer is 'one to watch', as they say. Not all short story writers try their hands at novel writing - Carver didn't - but I can't help feeling that if Glenn doesn't it would constitute a crime in its own right. For now, though, let this little gem wet your appetite!

Nothing like a thriller when the plan falls apart and the heroes have to wing it! Makes it all the harder for the reader to guess what is going to happen...
Fast and enjoyable.

Big screen material! This talented author brings the reader into a new world where adventure awaits at every turn. The descriptions are well though out, the characters pop off of the page. Don't miss this one!
Monticelli's original Italian has been translated to English for her Red Desert series, giving a charming flavor to the prose. Her characters are 3d, and her hard sci-fi setting is researched impeccably. Novella-length book one, "Point of no return," serves as an introduction, constructing the hooks that power future volumes and ramping up the tension and mystery.

Brewing Kane
Brewing Kane Omar Daniels
Kane was an assassin. Strictly small time, but he was good at it. His cold exterior was perfect for the job and there was always a steady stream of hits to be done and people to be killed. But it all came at a price.
Leaving his past behind, Kane sought to begin a new life that was quieter and more peaceful; one where he could enjoy his family and be free from looking over his shoulder, wondering when his own time would come.
One last hit was all it took, and he was free.
Now, 10 years on from that last job and events lead Kane back into the murky world he thought he'd left behind. But things are different now. People he onced counted on a have shifted allegiances. Every person he once trusted is now the enemy and Kane is alone in a dangerous world.
With only his wits and a solitary ally by his side, he must stay one step ahead to stay alive. With the odds stacked against him in a high stakes game, does Kane still possess the skills to do the job he's always done?

A riveting psychologically, morally complex novel of blood ties, duty, crime, and retribution, in which Maxwell Muggs must face a maniac arsonist and killer while trying to come to terms with a long-buried secret about his past. In the end it’s about justice, about right and wrong… and it’s also about retribution.”

Couldn't put this story and ended up reading it far into the night. The day to day running of care facilities is interesting with the fascinating characters weaved into the story. Not just a good thriller, but touching, too.
I am really enjoying this book. As I read, the scene plays in my mind which makes it hard to put down. The story has gripped me for sure.
