This is absolutely one of the best novels I have read in a long time! Sensational! I could not put it down. In fact, I just finished it, and my heart is still pounding. I don't review books on Amazon unless I can give them 5 stars. This is only the second time I've reviewed a book. From first to last page, it is truly thrilling!

Dead Man Falling by Desmond Cory was an exciting thriller that immediately brought images of James Bond to mind.  You just can't help but picture that Bond type character when reading this story.  And - with all the exciting, unexpected twists and turns happening in this book, it was easy to get hooked.  It starts off slow and gains excitement with enormous speed.

Desmond Cory did a wonderful job setting the scene in each chapter.  With the vivid descriptive nature in which this book was written, it was very easy to picture every moment of every scene as you read along.

The main character, Johnny Fedora is a very strong character that you can't help but identify with; and he is accompanied by his honeymoon companion Marie-Andree, who is also quite the character.  As a woman I was happy to see this particular character rise to certain challenges and take charge when necessary.  I'm really not a fan of books where the character of a woman is depicted as the victim in every scene; so this was quite refreshing.  I also loved the wit and humor that both these characters added to the story.  It really gave it a nice twist.

All in all - a great read for those who love spy novels!

This the first book by Creston Mapes I have read - but it won't be the last. I loved the story but most of all, the 'realness" of people's reactions.  If we have not been through any of the situations the characters had, maybe we cannot truly put ourselves in their shoes, I haven't, but I found myself sympathising with every one of them, including Granger, as more about his history was revealed.

This is an exciting thriller, using Christians as the main protagonists, and it is not a heavily "spiritual" story like some others I have read (and liked!)  but it has enough of what it is to truly be Christ's, and I absolutely loved the final page.

I recommend this book to any who like a good thriller,with well drawn characters, lots of excitement, thrills and some challenging ideas - like, what if that was me? how would I handle that stuff happening to me?,

I have just completed this book, my heart is pounding, my palms are clammy, and I am so addicted I need another fix.

This book is one adrenaline punch after another. It's absolutely brilliant. Wow, you really can get adrenaline in a book. I'm so tense my stomach is trying to cravat my throat.

In short, if you love action packed killers for hire, with betrayal, backstabbing, and being hunted, this is a book that will grip your eyeballs wide open and torture you with exquisite nine-mil's, shotguns, assumed identities and taking out bad guys over morning breakfast with your steak knife.

It outstrips any action book I've ever read (and that includes Ian Flemming and master Bagley)

The fact that the ladies are bad-ass, and the men are ruthless and gorgeous just adds to the appeal of this thrill ride.

It's immediate, you are living each scene with the main character Candy, and when it's over, all you want as a reader is for her to train the cross-hairs on Sam, and then go home and screw Lucas into the next century.

Five out of five stars! brilliant action packed punched at full throttle brilliant read!

I could not put this book down and damn well hope there'll be a sequel!

What a great read.  I loved the Zenyalena character, and actually felt sorry for her towards the end.  And, right until the last chapter, I couldn't work out how it was going to end.  This book puts `thrill' into `thriller' in an amazing way.  Phenomenal!

This exciting thriller took me completely by surprise. Hayder hooked me from the very first page. But when she offered part of the story from the killer's point-of-view, my spirits sunk - I hoped for more of a mystery... I kept reading, and to my delight, not only did the book become even more exciting, but the question of point-of-view did not detract from the mystery at all! The surprises and shocks continued on through to the riveting climax. Hayder's talent impressed me to no end - she maintained the level of suspense, and mystery throughout, and also made the different perspective - including the serial killer - work very well. After finishing the book, I knew that this is one that will stay with me for a long time. There were some very shocking scenes, and plenty of violence, which may bother some, but I know I at least am looking forward to reading the sequel,&nbsp;<a data-hook="product-link-linked" class="a-link-normal" href="/The-Treatment/dp/0802146139/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_rvw_txt?ie=UTF8">The Treatment</a>!

A thriller that cannot be missed in 2015!  I was absolutely blown away by the storyline in this adventure. Jeremy Robinson is not stuck in a formula.  And, I LOVE THAT!!!  I did not know what to expect at any turn.  I love reading thrillers.. and could not anticipate one bit of what was about to happen as he took me from Roanoke to the Aztec nation!  I am an avid reader of Robinson's novels.. but.. all be danged if I can even begin to fathom how this writer's mind comes up with even half the stuff that he does!

This is one Chess team ride that you do NOT want to miss!  If you love thrillers, adventure and twists and turns that you cannot anticipate.. then, this is the book for YOU!

This exciting story lives up to the description on its cover of "thriller involving Physics, Religion, drugs and sex" and so much more.  Warning, if you are going to be offended by four letter curse words, his characters come to life through that reality, so either don't read this one, or just go for it as I did.  It was well worth the accommodation to enjoy the ever increasing pace of the story, rising to the point where this reader couldn't put the book down.  Around each turn there is surprise and fascinating detail that makes the story come alive in ways you don't expect, right up until the final few words that leave us anxiously looking for a sequel.

I feel the book scene has a new and exciting author joining its ranks.  Welcome, Ed!  So when can we expect your next work, hopefully with some of the same excellent characters like Lexi again.

Action, intense, exciting! I felt like I was there and I became part of this story, hidden in the shadows watching all that was going on.  I felt the pain inflicted on Madison by a madman, the love for her Mom and the rest of her family and friends, the ease of her relationships. This story was so intense at times, I felt distressed and wanted to peek at the ending to relieve my mind.  A real thriller, will look for more from this author!

Deadrise is an action packed suspense thriller!

Unlikely protagonist Ben Blackshaw contends with international intrigue and the dangling loose threads of his own dark past, while moving fast and furious in a desperate struggle to defend from unspeakable evil both the people he loves and the community that nurtures him.

Masterfully written, Deadrise is a non-stop adventure of political machinations, double dealings, covert operations, and Deliverance-esque ingenuity. Sure to leave you champing at the bit for the next installment, the adroitly tuned voices of Ben and his arch rival draw you inescapably into the dangerous world Mr. Whitehill has woven, enticing you to more, like a pusher handing out free samples of a new high.

Deadrise will surely excite and surprise!

Andy McNab's first thriller is a top-notch combination of violent action,
  pulse-pounding excitement and edge of your seat suspense.
  In "Remote Control" McNab introduces a new hero, Nick Stone, who makes most
  other famous fictional heroes look like prancing twits (can you say "Dirk Pitt"?) An
  ex-SAS operator and current deniable ops specialist for Britain, Stone is something
  of a cross between Hammett's Continental Op and Alistair MacLean's Phillip
  Calvert: tough as jacketed hollow points, totally on-task, and cunning enough to
  beat the bad guys at their own game. Nick Stone has more life in him (and more
  blood and soul) than any action hero this side of Pendleton era Mack Bolan.
  The action in "Remote Control" never lets up for more than a few pages, and even
  when Stone isn't facing guns and fists he's deep into the task at hand and planning
  2 or 3 moves ahead so that the pace just keeps up and the tension builds.
  Stone has to work against a plot without any help after he finds the family of a
  friend murdered. On the run and out in the cold with his friend's seven year old
  daughter in tow, Stone uses his training, intelligence and toughness to best
  advantage. And just when he's past one challenge, an even greater one confronts
  him. The story is told in first person and it really sounds like authentic dialogue.
  This is like the golden age of Len Deighton's spy writing but with a tougher and
  more realistic hero. Hard-boiled stuff!
  The great relationship between childless Stone and seven year old Kelly is a
  wonderful thing in this book. I think I worried as much for him when he had to
  finally tell Kelly her family was dead as when he was in any of the many deadly
  encounters in the story. McNab obviously knows something about children and
  Kelly's character is so real it makes the reader very frightened for her safety.
  The cover quote from author Stephen Coonts claims McNab is "the best suspense
  thriller writer. . . since Alistair MacLean" and I can't argue with that. This book was
  everything you'll want in a thriller. I can't wait to start the next one!
  This is a 5 star effort if ever there was one. Read it.

I saw an add for this book and took a chance. I ma glad I did, because it was a hell of a thrill ride. Packed with action, it tells the story of a Canadian husband and wife who are dealt a horrible tragedy and are given the ability to get back at the people that visited it on them. Mike is a former Canadian Spec ops officer who is working as an RCMP Air Marshal, and is caught in a terrorist attack, as is his wife in another area. They suffer a huge tragedy, and are recruited into an organization that will allow them to go after the terrorists that played a part in it. It is action packed, with likable characters who are also dealing with moving past a huge loss. The bad guys are just that, BAD, and totally believable. Set in multiple locations around the world, You feel like your a part of the action. Any fan of Tom Clancy or Brad Thor's should definitely get this book!

I simply could NOT put this down. I am craving the next installment and love the suburban "Mr and Mrs Smith". This was a thriller that makes James Bond look like a walk in the park. Thank you Sara for making my blood race and my heart stop and start a thousand times. The on the run series is an out of the park home run!

This thriller is so cinematic and exciting! I adore the main character, Layla - smart, quick thinking, and tough. I don't want to give too much away, but suffice it to say undercover agent Layla is walking a very fine, and very dangerous, line as she worms her way into the elite world of art collectors and art crime. Complicating things are dashing James, whose father owns the art gallery she is infiltrating. I highly recommend this heart-pounding mystery!

This book blew me away. It was a nonstop adrenaline rush from the first page to the last. There were so many twists and turns in this book that I never knew what to expect and every time I thought it couldn't get any better Mr. Hershey kicked it up another thousand notches. This is a must read and I can't wait for the next one. Highly recommended!!

The book Drama... Another Man's Girl was an AWESOME read!  It reminded me of a roller coaster ride I once took at Coney Island; Fast, exciting, raw and rough around the corners!  This book will surprise readers with an adrenaline rush and many, many suspicious twist and turns that are almost unbelievable.

The author gets to the drama right from the beginning of the novel and takes readers on suspenseful highs and lows in a story filled with lust, deceit, jealousy and betrayal.  The anticipation of what is coming next will have a reader's blood boiling and elevated!  And the characters were created in the same fashion - dramatic and emotional and keeping the reader eager to explore them more.

Note that this is Ms. Lyttle's first published book, but don't be so quick to judge her on that.  This is an excellently written story for a first time publisher.  So, get to know the characters in depth because the book's end clearly shows readers that there is more Drama to come!

I encourage everyone to read this one and get ready for the unexpected!
