Format:Paperback
Fantastic,compulsive,addictive can't wait for the next instalment. On a serious note, as someone who rarely picks up a book outside of holiday mode this proved to be an excellent read, gripping to the point of obsession on my part, very difficult to put the book down, the intricate, but engrossing plot leaves you in total suspense from one chapter to the next.
Other reviews suggest a trilogy, if this is the case count me in can't wait, come on Barry your public awaits!!

Format:Paperback
Fallen Heroes is a stylish supernatural thriller. It has a richness and a darkness at the heart of it, and an especially charismatic and characterful lead. The shifting strands of plot, counterplot and shadowy agencies, juxtaposed with pulp adventure make for a heady fusion of action romp nostalgia and sharp, modern multi-layered modern crime writing.
Format:Kindle Edition
I bought this direct through my kindle after hunting through titles in the kindle store, obviously I hadn't heard of the author but at such a cheap price thought it was worth a shot.
The overall story is interesting enough my main criticism is the number of characters - seemingly a new one every chapter! It's almost as if they're crowbarred in at every plot development to substantiate all of the twists and turns. Some of the dialogue is a little unnatural and clichéd at times, almost as if the author is visualising a Hollywood blockbuster (which will never happen by the way).
Having said all that, it was entertaining enough to while away my lunchtimes at work with and, if this author decides to write any sequels using the same characters I would be tempted to give them a try.
