by Gordon Kent
PEACEMAKER
“Tom Clancy used to have the high-tech military thriller stakes all to himself but now Gordon Kent has entered the field, and how. There’s action on all fronts with Alan Craik at the heart of it, whether it’s a carrier group in the Med confronting a rogue Russian sub commander, mounting a rescue mission for a captured CIA agent in Africa, or helping combat a high-level conspiracy in Washington. Non-stop…a smoking gun of a story.”
Northern Echo
“Told with all the authority of inside knowledge…an absorbing tale of international skulduggery.”
Irish News
TOP HOOK
“Loaded with gunfights, snappy dialogue and the aerial hijinks of supersonic jet fighters. The high testosterone doses satisfy, but best is the complex and clever web of motive Kent weaves for the mole.”
Publishers Weekly
“The characterization and pacing remain superior…It vividly portrays the post-Gulf War military establishment as well as the conflict of generations within the American intelligence community. The concept of the character-driven thriller had seemed almost a contradiction in terms—until recently, when in the hands of the likes of Gordon Kent, the descriptor has begun to make exciting sense.”
