Book Description

Publication Date: 8 May 2006
If you can manipulate the web you can change the world. You can also get away with murder over and over again . . .

Danielle Leaf thought she was just delivering a passport to help a friend. Then she was abducted and imprisoned in remote rural India. Her desperate escape is only the beginning.

Now she has been drawn into a war between a transnational mining company that is poisoning Third World farmers and the invisible armies of anti-corporate protesters who oppose it.

It is a dizzying world of whirlwind romance on the Goa coast; bloody street battles in Paris; shadowy computer hackers and mysterious benefactors. Danielle grows more deeply involved in this battle than she ever expected. Then she unearths a deadly secret.

Soon she will be running for her life - from an enemy who will find her no matter where she hides . . .

Review

Praise for Jon Evans:

'INVISIBLE ARMIES is an intriguing, pacy read and Mr Evans shows great potential.'

(Economist )

'Anti-globalization versus international corporate greed . . . a fast-paced, politically engaging thriller.'

(Globe and Mail, Canada on INVISIBLE ARMIES )

'I was completely gripped.' (Emily Barr on TRAIL OF THE DEAD )

'THE BLOOD PRICE is 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 )

'In this haunting, suspense debut, Evans takes the reader on a page-turning adventure' (Publishers Weekly on TRAIL OF THE DEAD )

'Pacy thriller for the 21st century' (The Times on THE TRAIL OF THE DEAD )

'TRAIL OF THE DEAD is engaging, disturbing, and relentless - an impressive debut novel.' (C.J. Box, award-winning author of Winterkill and Trophy Huny )

'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 )

'Evans has created a remarkable novel in this tale of corporate skulduggery and high-tech warfare . . . The twists and turns of the plot . . . will keep you turning the pages until the stunning climax is reached.'

(West Australian )

From the Inside Flap

In a world where companies are more powerful than governments and security cameras can track your every move, if you can manipulate the web you can change the world. You can also get away with murder over and over again . . .

Danielle Leaf thought she was just doing an innocent errand to help out a friend. Then she was abducted in remote rural India. Her daring escape is only the beginning. Now she has been drawn into a war between anti-corporate activists and an international mining company that is poisoning thousands of Third World farmers. It is a dizzying world of desperate escapes and whirlwind romance on the Goa coast; bloody street battles in Paris; shadowy computer hackers and mysterious benefactors.

Danielle is in love, vibrantly alive, and fighting for a better world. But then she crosses the steadily blurring line between right and wrong, and stumbles across an awful revelation. Soon she is running for her life. For both sides of this war are willing to kill for their cause – and both sides hide terrible secrets . . . --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

4.0 out of 5 stars good choice 27 Sep 2006
By Noel Ohora
Format:Paperback
I chose this book from a very limited selection available while stuck for reading matter while abroad -- & what a good choice it was... V enjoyable escapism. Sharp characterisation with the right level of emotional depth, snappy dialogue, brisk pace, good action set pieces, excellent actualisation of various locations (the story moves from India to France to England to America to mid-ocean) & plenty of esoteric info (especially techno-savvy stuff about hacking & the power of computers). The plot twists & turns, & you're carried thru its implausibilities by the author's storytelling ability. When I finish writing this I'm going to order Jon Evan's 2 previous thrillers.

2.0 out of 5 stars Disappointing 3rd outing 10 Mar 2009
By Mr. G. T. Redshaw
Format:Paperback
I won't give away the plot, which is one of my pet hates in reading a review.
What I will say is that it is a much weaker offering than his 'Trail of the Dead' & 'The Blood Price'.
Too many twists and turns and far to unbelievable. It turns out all more like James Bond and the power of computers is too implausible.
What he normally does well is write with gritty realism, (you feel if you were there, you would do the same) but he lost his way in the later half.
I'm about to read his next book 'The Night of Knives' which I hope is a return to form.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great story 15 April 2012
By T. Gardener
Format:Paperback
I really enjoyed this book, which contains several different elements. Love interests, intrigue, terrorism, global profits, all feature in this book,

When Danielle undertakes a simple favour in India, whilst living there she has no idea how her life is going to change.racy

If you have a love of adventure, conspiracy theories, and computer espionage, albeit slightly over the top.
