“Paths of Courage started out fast, edge of your seat, ran that way all the way through and ended up with a big bang. I loved this book, it is an espionage thriller written like you are right there. Current events lead the way, with Frank Ryder, former SAS teaming up with a virologist to find out if North Korea has developed a lethal super virus or not. It is filled with action, and very well written. Don’t waste any more time reading my review, get this book and enjoy the read. ”

“Run with the Brave is an easy read, set at a pace that keeps you interested. I enjoy books that are well researched, and like its predecessor, this book is set in a location that one doesn’t often read about in a novel. The story begins with a lot of suspenseful, almost cliffhanger-ending chapters that quickly built interest in the rest of the story. All in all a comfortable read over a few evenings.”
