The best thriller I've read in ten years... An astonishing piece of
work
*Linwood Barclay*
THRILLER OF THE WEEK. Delivers thrills and spills...A full tilt mix
of Homeland, The Wire and The Bourne Ultimatum
*Mail on Sunday*
I Am Pilgrim is a 21st century thriller: a high concept plot, but
with finely drawn protagonists. The plot twists and turns like a
python in a sack. The style is visceral, gritty and cinematic...A
satisfying and ambitious book, written with skill and verve
*The Times*
Rendition yourself into a pulsating thriller that never lets up as
it carries the hero and the reader on an ever more desperate race
between time and an all too plausible disaster for the world we
live in. Great nail-biting stuff!
*Robert Goddard*
The narrative is thrilling: the tension tightens with action...It's
a murder mystery, an illuminating account of contemporary
international politics and a study of an unusual man......An
excellent thriller which as a first novel is really remarkable
