In the wilds of the Brecon Beacons National Park an electrifying climax is played out when Hal is forced to confront his deadly rival.

The novel for the Facebook generation. An ambitious tour de force that should put Wales well and truly on the international crime thriller map. Believable characters and a gripping story. Crime fiction has to have some ring of truth in it so that I can imagine the events really happening and this is it. Many writers today seem to want to invent ever more fantastic murders, situations, characters and that's fine for fantasy purposes but with this book it really is the girl next door and the mate from school. For me anyway a welcome change. So glad I've discovered this writer. Short chapters that make the book exciting to read. The soundtrack that accompanies the characters is a revelation, great writing! Wouldn't be at all surprised if this is picked up by some Hollywood agent and turned into a film. Having put up with pretentious rubbish from Welsh writers for so long this is a truly exciting read. Can't wait for a sequel to find out what happens to Hal. Love the `Alien' tag line from the cover too, very contemporary and just a little bit scary.

A witty and intelligent read, with a helluva twist at the end. Highly enjoyable, thoroughly recommended - fingers crossed there'll be a sequel. Well deserving of a 5 star rating.

As an I.T. Consultant, I generally avoid novels based in the world of computers because they're poorly researched & make me cringe. But this is an exception (it's clear the author has actually done a bit of research)
Regardless of whether you're into computers or not, it works well as a dark, psycho style thriller (I agree there are some slight similarities to James Patterson, but I think Mr Lewis has a style of his own)
Additionally, there is an element of romance & some good social/political satire. Plus a couple of good twists towards the end.
All in all, an entertaining read, looking forward to the next one...
