Review
'Reading BLOOD PRICE reminded me of being a kid running down a too-steep hill, going faster and faster so that you can barely get your feet in front of you quickly enough to stop, loving every second of it. You can't stop. You don't want to stop ... I wanted to keep reading to find out what the hell happened next.' -- Quill & Quire 'Albanian smugglers, Bosnian guerrillas and Central American drug dealers populate Evans's colorful transcontinental story of self-preservation and harebrained derring-do (after Dark Places), starring Paul Wood, an unemployed 29-year-old computer programmer. Paul, a Canadian living in San Francisco, and his beautiful Croatian-born girlfriend, Talena, attempt to save their fraying relationship with a trip to Sarajevo. (The year is 2003.) There, Paul morphs into an inadvertent action-hero when he rescues a South Asian boy and returns him to his family. In the process, Paul encounters Sinisa, the ruthless head of a multimillion-dollar people-smuggling ring, whom he turns to again when Talena's childhood friend Saskia needs his help getting to America. But there's a catch: Wood must design a "hacker tracker" program for the deranged smuggler in exchange for Saskia's freedom. From Albania, where Paul works around the clock to complete the program, he, Talena and Saskia find their way home v -- Publishers Weekly 'This second book is good... The settings are terrific, and Evans has a great eye for place and the little details of life that bring us right to the spot.' -- Globe & Mail 'A fantastic read' -- Booklist 'THE BLOOD PRICEis knowledgeable about Balkan history, the current fragile peace maintained by NATO and the multi-billion-dollar international refugee-smuggling industry. Evans can write, too.' -- Washington Post Praise for TRAIL OF THE DEAD: 'You're hooked. Evans contrives to slip the necessary specialist net-head detail into the plot without being boring or patronising. He can also pin down a character with a few details deftly brushed in ... Not the least satisfying aspect of this pacy thriller for the 21st century is the way things go on happening until the last page.' -- The Times 'In this haunting suspense debut, Evans takes the reader on a page-turning adventure' -- Publishers Weekly 'TRAIL OF THE DEAD is engaging, disturbing, and relentless - an impressive debut novel.' -- C.J. Box, award-winning author of WINTERKILL and T 'I was completely gripped. As the plot unfolded, I found myself constantly surprised ... and at the end all the strands were tied up perfectly. I never wanted to put the book down.' -- Emily Barr --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

Most Helpful Customer Reviews   2 of 2 people found the following review helpful: 4.0 out of 5 stars An Excellent Holiday Read, 27 Mar 2006 By  "paulturri" - See all my reviews This review is from: The Blood Price (Paperback) I picked the paperback up in Tenerife Airport whilst waiting for a delayed flight home on a whim - and was extremely surprised that I'd read it 15 hours later half way home (13 hour delayed flight!). The story is fast-paced, written well but not brilliantly so and grips you from the off. Good character outlines, enough back story to make them interesting and a flawed - if rather too hip - main character. The villan(s) of the story are fleshed out enough to be believable without being too James Bond Blofeld-esque and over the top. With good locations, a bit of nerd speak and a cool setting for the showdown (Burning Man - inspired!) as well as a believable & straightforward plotline. This comes highly recommended from me & made me seek out other books by the same author - such a shame he's only done two books so far. A must if you want escapist reading on a sunny beach then this is a must. Comment Comment | Permalink | Was this review helpful to you?

Its written from the perspective of a Canadian guy in his late 20s - and sounds like it might be one of your mates telling you all about his adventurous travels. The synopsis of the book is all you need, except as said, the difference is that you can believe what Paul, the main character is telling you as he sounds like a real person - with real problems and a real sense of humour. I haven't quite finished it, but can't wait to start reading his first novel which i missed!... Comment Comment | Permalink | Was this review helpful to you?

The author really seems to know that places in the book. The only letdown is the ending, it is a bit of a letdown compared to the rest of the book.
