Assassin Eighteen

Reviews / Votes

Praise for AGENT SEVENTEEN - AGENT SEVENTEEN reinvents the hitman novel. It's a cinematic rollercoaster, full of authentic emotion and high-octane action. The tension explodes off the pages; John Brownlow is a master of suspense * Jeff Abbott, New York Times bestselling author of TRAITOR'S DANCE * A gripping debut thriller from a British-Canadian screenwriter and it keeps readers on the edge of their seats through a roller-coaster ride of high-octane action that builds to an explosive finale * Sunday Express * A slick, clever, edge-of-the-seat thriller * Crime Review * This is a fresh adrenaline-charged, and snarkily funny spy thriller with an explosive climax * The Peterborough Telegraph * This high-velocity thriller seems destined for the big screen... thanks to British-Canadian screenwriter-turned-novelist John Brownlow's vivid imagery, ultra-detailed action sequences and elaborate plotting. * National Post * Keeps you on the edge of your seat and guessing with every turn of the page. A fantastic and thrilling new entry into the modern-day spy genre * Rawson Marshall Thurber, director of DODGEBALL, CENTRAL INTELLIGENCE, SKYSCRAPER and RED NOTICE * Exquisite writing... the dialogue is pitch perfect... a book club title that is different from the usual - grittier and very powerful * Book Reporter * The book takes off like a rocket . . . Brownlow is an accomplished screenwriter, and it shows * The Financial Times * The pace never falters a single inch in this high octane, breathless thriller. Lean, mean and thoroughly enjoyable * Crime Time * Fresh and entertaining . . . it is no surprise it has been snapped up by Hollywood * Daily Mail * This is probably the most action-packed spy thriller that fans of the genre will read this year, with short busy chapters where conspiracies unfold at the rate of a particularly sharp shooting pistol dispensing bullets * Irish Examiner * Praise for ASSASSIN EIGHTEEN - ... the action is breathless and almost every single, short chapter ends with a cliff-hanger, and twists continuously pepper the narrative ... if ever a series is to emulate the James Bond one, Brownlow's ultra-propulsive prose, plots and characters could well be the one * Maxim Jakubowski, Crime Time * ASSASSIN EIGHTEEN is a speeding bullet of a novel. It never lets up and never lets you go once you're in its grip. Highly explosive and bloody fun! * Tim Glister * ASSASSIN EIGHTEEN ... brings a profane wit and some emotional heft to the world of high-end international assassins. ... The sharp self-awareness, persistent humour and vivid characters help this enjoyable, lively novel stand out from the crowd. * Brian Cliff and Elizabeth Mannion for The Irish Times *
