"For me, there is nothing more exciting than discovering an unknown writer with great talent. Who is Rafael Amadeus Hines and why is he self-publishing his first book when a huge publisher should snap him up. Obviously, he has read a million thrillers because he understands the importance of grabbing one's attention on page one and never losing that grip. His ambitious book has scene after scene of beautifully choreographed action, a fabulous hero (John Bishop) worthy of a series, not one but several vile villains (thrillers are only as good as their villains!), a complex and creative storyline that makes this a great contender for a movie adaptation, spot-on dialogue, and even some well-placed humor to ease the tension. It's at times very brutal, yet I'd describe the book as a whole as a "fun read." It's not just a page turner but I bet you'll find yourself wanting to sneak a peek at what happens to your favorite or most despicable characters a few pages ahead! And as you're reading you'll already be thinking about the friends you want to give this book to!"
