This is kind of an unusual subject matter for me...a little raw and on the edge.  However, it was how Shaw fleshed out the characters and the wit and intelligence showing through Jimmy's rough exterior that drew me in.  I went right out to get Dove Season to find out what I had missed in the prior novel.  I will definitely ready Johnny Shaw books in the future.

Another great read in this series of books. Action all the way through with a good solid set of characters you can really like (or loathe). Some great 'one liners' between the main characters make me smile. The storyline about god and the devil, good and evil, but set in a distant future is an interesting one (not trying to change anyone's beliefs). I'm looking forward to the next book in the series to whisk me off to these future world and alien species and to Queenie and her Rejects to see how the fight continues.

Anyone else liking this series as much as I am might want to read M R Forbes 'War Eternal' series of books which I also thoroughly enjoyed.

David Bishop has turned out another great Matt Kile story.  This time Matt is offered a case by the judge who sent him to prison.  Why would the Judge want his help?  Why should Matt help him?  The Judge is mixed up with a woman.  Who is she and what is her motivation for seeing the much older judge?  This fast-paced story is filled with twists that will keep you guessing until the end.  Keep the books coming, David.  I can't wait for the next book!

I have not yet read "The Dead Man Volume 1" but did read Lee Goldberg's "The Walk," and liked it a lot. So when I saw that he is one of the author's of the Dead Man series, I was looking forward to reading "The Dead Man Volume 2."

You don't have to read Volume 1 to understand Volume 2. This is not Shakespeare, Hemmingway, or Twain, and I don't mean that as an insult. The travels and adventures of Matt Cahill, as presented in "The Dead Man Volume 2" are very entertaining, and great if you are are looking for something to read while commuting or on a plane ride. The story line is usually the same. Matt, and his magical ax, are sort of a modern day Lone Ranger. Matt wanders the country and saves the local population. Because he died and came back to life after being in an avalanche, Matt can see "evil" in people by the creepy crawly things on their faces, their rotting skin, and the maggots that are oozing from gaping sores on their skin. The regular folks can't see these things but Matt can. So in each story he does battle with the evil folks, and in each of the stories Matt is pursued or is pursing Mr. Dark, commonly known as The Devil. Mr. Dark is the entity that makes the evil people act evil.

This is pulp fiction at its finest, with each story coming in at around 100 pages. The action is fast, furious, and bloody, and our hero always wins in the end.

I found each of the books in Volume 2 entertaining, and probably liked the last, "Kill Them All," the best. If you've seen the classic movie "High Noon" with Gary Cooper, you will certainly recognize the story line in "Kill Them All." I am looking forward to reading Volume 1 and I can't wait to see what trouble Matt encounters in Volume 3. Keep The Dead Man stories coming! Somewhere, Quentin Tarantino or Robert Rodriquez are waiting to direct the movie.

I read David Bishop Jack Mcall book and really loved it so I just give a try to the Matt Kyle series and honestly I really like this first one! The family plot was not my favorite but hey everything could happen in this wonderful world.... The characters were good and Matt friends surprised me! So I will look forward for the next one since the I know more about Mr. Kyle. Thanks to the author for sharing his talent with us!

The latest book in the Matt Drake series and unlike some series, this one keeps getting better and better.  This is another (almost) non-stop action with all hell breaking loose and plenty of WTF moments!  Drake and the team finally get to go up against the Coyote and it doesn't disappoint.  You might need a scorecard to keep track of everyone because that action is fast and furious and who is fighting who is at times a little mind boggling (I had to re-read a few pages a few times to keep it straight)!  All in all a really fun book to read.

If you have read the previous Matt Drake books but not this, you have to get it.

For those of you up to date except for this book, the ending will give you an idea of where things are going (Hopefully you will be as happy with the direction as I was).

If you haven't read the Matt Drake series and you are looking for some kick butt action, explosions, mayhem and all the good stuff that goes along with it, give this series a try.  You just might like it!

Happy reading!

Great writing and great characters coupled with a compelling story. Shaw is a story teller in the classic sense. Go ahead and jump in...

I brought this book to read on holiday. I am a fan of Andy McNab's books and, having seen 'Wicked Game' via Twitter, I decided to buy it. I am glad I did. As a first novel, Matt Johnson should be very proud of himself. As many other reviews have said, it is a very well crafted, very believable story and draws you in. I think it took me about 3 days to get through it as I just wanted to know what happened next.

If you're a fan of McNab and fast paced, military style thrillers, you have to buy this book. It won't disappoint. I will be pre-ordering the next one for sure.

David Ledbetter is putting out hit after hit with his stories. The Matt Drake series is one that will keep you glued to the story and at the end you want more. Can't wait for the next one coming out in 2015. I'm also looking forward for the spin off of the Matt Drake series to see what happens. If it is anything like this series it will be great. I highly recommend you read this series if not the first one at least read the last book.

This is a great series, I loved it, but then again, if you've ever read any of Matthew Reilly's books, you can't help but love them, he is a fantastic story teller, very imaginative, and in some books, action packed, but all of them adventure filled. Do yourself a favour, buy one and enjoy the journey, then I bet you, you'll buy the rest.... Thanks for another great read Matt, cheers, luv your work!!!!!

I received a free copy of this book in return for an honest review.

I have really enjoyed each of the Three Wise Men books and looked forward to Matt & Georgia's story.

Matt is the creative genius of the trio of brothers.  His children books are well loved and received and Matt is earning a name for himself in the publishing world.  Matt, however, does not feel he is worthy of the praise he and his brother receive for their good works.  He does not feel he has contributed as much to the partnership as his doctor brother and inventor brother.  How wrong he is.  Behind closed doors Matt is a talented and well accomplished artist, but no one gets to see it.

Georgia has worked for the Three Wise Men charity for over a year.  She located north after the terrible Christchurch earthquakes to give her 10 year old son and herself a new start away from the memories.  She is a widow and her son Noah is not coping too well without a father figure in his life.  Matt met Georgia when she interviewed for the job at TWM and he fell for her then.  Every week for a year he has asked her out and she has declined.  However, Matt needs a date for a prestigious awards ceremony and asks Georgia to accompany him.  After some soul searching she agrees and they give into their feelings of attraction to each other.

Georgia has some baggage in the form of parents who are quite set in their ideas of how children should be raised and don't agree with the way Georgia is bringing up Noah.  Matt helps Noah see that his behaviour is not helping his mum and together all three work to make all their relationships work.

I loved reading Matt & Georgia's story and the tie up of Brock and Erin & Charlie and Ophelia's stories at the end of the book.  I do hope though that we go back to see how the King brothers are faring...maybe a follow up next Christmas???

Good fun and worth every penny. A little slow in the buildup, but worth it. Cheers Matt! Keep up the good work!

From the first chapter of his first book, I've been a Matt Bracken fan! I recommend all of his books!! His memorable characters and incredible plots teach so much in an entertaining way.
