1) ""This book takes the vibe and emotion of Jesus' Son and The Things They Carried, and shakes it up, telling a unique war-torn, medical thriller story infused with drugs, capers, and layers of trauma. It's Hunter S. Thompson via Usman T. Malik with a dash of Irvine Welsh.""—Richard Thomas, Thriller Award finalist

2)""Mustafa Marwan is coming out of the gate strong—GUNS AND ALMOND milk is an incredible debut, with a gripping voice, enthralling action, and a unique take on geopolitics that introduces you to an often-forgotten part of the world while never forgetting to uncover the depths of humanity to be found there."" —Rob Hart, author of The Paradox Hotel

3) ""Tense, fast-paced and propulsive, this novel takes you on an adrenaline-fuelled journey into war-torn Yemen where all bets are off. Packed with action and suspense, this book will have you at the edge of your seat as you race through it, devouring every last page. Marwan has truly arrived.""—Awais Khan, award-winning author of No Honour and In the Company of Strangers

4) ""This un-put-downable thriller weaves together two stories: one among high-end thieves in London and another among mercenaries and aid workers in Yemen. The two stories come together through the narration of a sarcastic, sharp-eyed doctor who can see the world clearly -- except when it comes to his own emotions."" Marcia Lynx Qualey, editor-in-chief of ArabLit

5) ""Absolutely amazing. I picked it up and literally couldn't put it down. Darkly comic and beautifully written with many plot twists. Guns and Almond Milk has all the elements of a fantastic story of love, grit, thrill, murder, everything. A winner!""—Pamela Paterson, Amazon Best Selling Author.

6) ""If you can imagine being unconscious in an operating theater somewhere in Yemen while a hideous war without rules is raging around the bedraggled hospital and then suddenly coming awake on the metal table just long enough to glimpse two bloodstained surgeons working away furiously over you who greatly resemble Raymond Chandler and Thom Jones, then you will start to grasp the beautiful monstrosity that is Guns and Almond Milk, the brilliant noir debut of Mustafa Marwan both traditional and unheard of, and one worth celebrating darkly. Trust me when I say this book goes places you've never been.""—Lee Durkee, author of The Last Taxi Driver

7) ""Guns and Almond Milk is a thrilling odyssey that explores themes of identity, redemption, and the price of one's choices. Marwan's masterful storytelling, rich with cultural and psychological insights, is set against the vibrant backdrops of London and the tumultuous regions of the Middle East, where we follow Luke, a man caught in the crosshairs of his own conflicted existence.""—Ahmed Naji, author of Rotten Evidence"
