I've been reading mysteries and thrillers for over 50 years and I've enjoyed each of of the John Milton series. Mark Dawson has grown with his main character and it has gotten to the point where I can't wait to finish one of his novels so I can get started on another.
I'll keep coming back as long as Mark Dawson cranks them out.

Mark Dawson gets better with every book, but in this book he takes it up a level, if that's possible - the cast is larger, the plot more complex, and the characters more nuanced. And he does all this while maintaining the dynamic pacing, riveting plot and straight-ahead narrative technique that makes all the John Milton books so compelling. If you're a reader of the series already, you will NOT be disappointed with the latest entry. If you're new to the Milton series, you'll be buying the rest of the books long before you've even finished this one. Well done, Mr. Dawson!

I think I said in another review of a Dawson book that it was his best book yet, but The Sword of God has now taken that place.

Once again, another thrilling read from Mark Dawson.  I loved every page of it and clearly, this new author is on a roll.  Mark has a way of revealing John Milton's character in a subtle, beguiling way, and I look forward to each and every book he writes - I've read them all!  Keep writing, Mark, and make me a happy lady!  :)

Great read, could not put it down. John Milton is a great character, as good or better than Jack Reacher. I have read the first ten Milton books in the last three weeks, just cant stop.

I read this in one sitting and was short of sleep the next day. If you like Jack Reacher (by another British author), you will enjoy John Milton's adventures. A troubled, but moral man with a conscience and sense of duty. He is an ex-government assassin with some serious survival and combat skills who puts them to use to help someone in trouble. Then he manages to disappear before his previous employer tracks him down again. I have read this entire series and can't wait for the next one.

The John Milton series continues to get better and better.  For those of us who are already fans, we know John Milton now and admire his determination to avoid alcohol and make amends for his previous transgressions.  These books present action with a heart.  As always Mark Dawson delivers a story so interesting you do not want to put it down.  I highly recommend this book and look forward to the next novel.

This was such an amazing story with John Milton connecting with an old Army buddy who happens to have a sheep station in Australia. Talk about a hard job!! Shearing filthy sheep in hot, dusty pens isn't my idea of a good job. However John Milton just wants to keep a low profile and try to keep away from alcohol.

Unfortunately his life rarely stays peaceful for long. This time it will take all of his strength and ingenuity to survive. Complicating matters is the attractive and bold younger sister of his buddy. I had a hard time putting this book down. I hope Dawson keeps coming up with such thrilling story lines. I can't wait for his next novel.

Another brilliant John Milton series book! You cannot put it down with all the twists and turns. Gives you a good feeling when John Milton clears more crime and corruption from this works of ours.
So realistic that you feels you are actually in New York! You can follow John Miltons thought processes ( Through Mark Dawson of course)

I have enjoyed this series from the very beginning!  Each of the John Milton books gets better and better as the series progresses.  I thought the first book was a great book, and it was, with each book we see John Milton's resolve to help people become more and more important to him.  Even when it seems like a simple act, we find him and those he decides to help, pulled deeper and deeper into situations where it appears there is no way out -- yet John Milton, the self title "craftsman", finds a way!

Extremely well written tales that pull you in before you know it, and won't let go until the last words.  The characters are entirely believable and the situations they are thrown into spark with realism and life!

John Milton, aka John Smith. Ex  SAS. For years he has worked for a select agency in the British government. He takes care of problems with extreme prejudice. He's had enough, he wants out. That's not an option, he is not only there best, he knows too much. He has turned into a ghost. He helps people who needs it. His reward? His conscious. He has taken on a brutal Mexican cartel. He has decided to protect a woman a journalist. This is an excellent read! A top notch thriller!

This is a must read for new "Milton" fans. Mark Dawson such does a great job building the layers of his characters, that his novellas are an exception to the novella rule (short story = let down).
Digging into John Milton's past and learning how he became the man he is in the Milton series was a great read! Perfect when you have a couple of free hours to loose yourself.

An ARC provided for this review.
John Milton is involved in another exciting adventure. He starts in London and is drawn into investigating a human smuggling network.
Each one of Milton's books are very well written and the plot is tight and well constructed.
I have read all of this series and am anxious to see what action John will be involved in the next thriller.
Dawson's writing style is excellent and his books are always exciting thrilling reads!

I read the first book about John Milton because an ad compared him to Jack Reacher...hard to resist.  John is not Jack ... John is his own hero.  My best review would be to say that I read all nine books in a row.  In a holding pattern now waiting for John's next adventure.  This is a very enjoyable series and would highly recommend.

I am so glad that this book is back in print. John Milton's genius and remarkable writing style illuminate an otherwise dry subject, especially considering the many sources (Monmouth, Gildas, etc.) from which the material is derived. Milton employs his keep judgment in presenting those aspects of Early English History which to him seem most credible and probable, generously overlooking, though sometimes acknowledging, the mystical stories of Britain's early days.

Thank you so much for making these books accessible again!

This was a very good read. I would suggest right off that you should read *Indivisible* first. I wrongly assumed that *Indelible* was a stand-alone book, like the other one I read by this author, but I think it must be loosely part of a series.

This book is your classic story of a rescuer who is the one in need of being rescued. Trevor is part of a search and rescue team, but emotionally he needs someone to save him. Natalie has a unique "disability" which has proven too much for relationships in the past. The whole story is very well-written and I loved the suspense. Before each chapter you get a glimse into the mind of the "troubled soul". Each of these sections starts off with a quote from Paradise Lost by John Milton, which is creepy enough - and then you get that brief look into that person's mind. I thought I had it pretty figured out, but ended up being surprised at the end (always a sign of a good story, I think).

My only real complaint about the book was that I was not expecting the other sub-plots. Trevor and Natalie were not the only storylines going on - there was a storyline featuring the police chief and his wife, which left me slightly confused. I felt that I was supposed to know their story already, but I didn't and it was frustrating. I figured out about halfway through the book that their story was told in a previous book.

Overall, I thought this was a excellent story and a very interesting read. I will defninitely be checking out more books by this author and catching up on those plots I missed out on in the prevous book!

Where to begin...how about I love it!!! I was introduced to John Milton in Ghosts and just had to go back and find out more. Enter this boxed set...the first three books detailing Milton's life as well as a wonderful and insightful story...1000 Yards. I gotta say, Mr. Dawson's writing style is fabulous...he has this matter-of-fact presentation that plays in perfectly with the characters and their personalities and, like real life, things don't always turn out like we think they should. The main character, John Milton, is an interesting person. In addition to being an exceptional "cleaner", Milton is very human, struggling with his past, his present, and whatever future he finds...or finds him. He's a one-day-at-a-time kinda guy that grows on you the instant you meet him. His struggles are very human, yet his life is very far from normal.

Okay, back to the boxed set: All in all, I consider this one of the best kindle purchases I've ever made. It's not often I have found a book (or series) where I want to read faster so I could find out what happens and at the same time, slow down so I don't finish too fast. At the risk of sounding trite...this is a series (as well as the Beatrix Rose series, which is also exceptional) I know I will read again and again. Keep 'em coming Mr. Dawson!
