"Bryan Islip … in More Deaths Than One, has crafted a good old-fashioned page turner of a yarn - the sort of book you might grab at an airport en route to a holiday in the sun …A novel touching on themes of revenge and injustice, and containing as much derring-do as the average James Bond thriller, More Deaths Than One is a pacey, satisfying and enjoyably diverting read which also manages to include a dash of romance and a drugs related conspiracy
theory.
Throw in a plot which resonates strongly in the war on terror era following the September 11 attacks on New York and you have a story that is potentially of interest to a very wide readership."

Keep writing please

A compassionate action hero
By Marina Orsborn (Woodbridge, Suffolk, UK) - What a fantastic read! ...More Deaths Than One includes well-informed detail as well as intrigue and tension. I like the sound of Thomas Thornton and wonder if he will be the hero of the author's second novel? Yes - highly recommended.
