Some Books Go beyond The Call…

.. Of Duty!

This is a masterpiece of novel-smithing, it’s so good I honestly feel it didn’t get enough praise.

Mr Solomon Creed is indubitably unlike most other characters you’ll be used to reading of.

There’s something deeply of the mystic, spiritual and next worldly about a character in a tale that’s very much true to real life in context.

Amazing story, great plot, good tension, you’ll find yourself wishing Mr Creed to do bad things to bad people — and, he often does!

The whole concept is very deftly put together and delivered. This is one of the best books you’ll read this year.

Intriguing Plot

I very much enjoyed the first Solomon Creed book and enjoyed this one as much, if not more. Very intriguing underpinning plot of just “who or what is he?”. Can’t wait for the next book in this series!

Just to be honest ,

Amazing read

What a truly amazing read with the depth and suspense you'd expect from a Simon Toyne novel. One of the best best books I've read in some time!
