Product Description

Product Description

A nuclear missile, lost during the Cold War, is now in play--the most public spy swap in history, with a gorgeous agent the center of international attention, triggers the end-game of a corrupt Soviet Colonel's twenty five year plan. Pursued across the globe by the Russian authorities, including a brutal Spetsnaz unit, those involved will stop at nothing to deliver their weapon, and ensure their pay day, regardless of the terrifying consequences.


When Laura Palmer confronts a UNICEF group for trespassing on her Egyptian archaeological dig site, she unwittingly stumbles upon the ultimate weapons deal, and becomes entangled in an international conspiracy that sends her lover, archeology Professor James Acton, racing to Egypt with the most unlikely of allies, not only to rescue her, but to prevent the start of a holy war that could result in Islam and Christianity wiping each other out.


From the bestselling author of Depraved Difference and The Protocol comes Brass Monkey, a thriller international in scope, certain to offend some, and stimulate debate in others. Brass Monkey pulls no punches in confronting the conflict between two of the world's most powerful, and divergent, religions, and the terrifying possibilities the future may hold if left unchecked.


Brass Monkey is a full-length novel at 80,000 words or 277 trade paperback pages.

Praise for The Protocol - Book #1 of the James Acton Thrillers

5 out of 5 Stars

Having read and loved Depraved Difference, I started this, his earlier novel, with high hopes and I certainly wasn't disappointed. Take an archaeologist or two, a conspiracy, a secret society, the US military, the British police - mix in some car chases, a lot of gore and a little romance and you have the recipe for a cracking thriller that gallops along at breakneck speed.

This book has a huge cast and a fairly complicated plot but Kennedy manages to keep all the balls in the air till the very end and then catches them neatly and skilfully. Sure, you might have to suspend your disbelief from time to time, but that's no hardship - with likeable protagonists and some humour to lighten the tone, this is a great, fun read. Highly recommended.

I bought this book because I thoroughly enjoyed Kennedy's first two novels, `Depraved Difference' and `The Protocol'. I was not disappointed; with `Brass Monkey' he has done a superb job in combining international intrigue with gripping action. Kennedy makes us look more deeply into the ideologies of religious fanatics from the Christian and Islamic faiths. Label me a fan. I look forward to the next Kennedy Novel.

I read this straight after the first one in the series i.e. The Protocol.I awarded that one 4 stars as I thought it was a well written book with some nice surprises.

The good/bad news is that having found a formula that works Mr Kennedy intends to stick with it!

All the pace and page turning energy of the first book is here but in some ways it is too similar. In the first book there was a secret organisation that turns out to be benevolent who, in most books. would be the bad guys. In this book guess what? There is a secret organisation that...well you get my drift!

As in the first book there is no shortage of bad people and no shortage of thrills and spills. The same frenetic pace is all there and there is hardly time to draw breath. There is really no originality to the work either in plot line or characters but Mr Kennedy does keep you turning the pages well!

So, in conclusion, this is decent thriller that whiles away the time but if the next one follows the same plotting then I would hesitate to buy it even though in comparison to some of the lower priced books this is still good value.
