Book one in the international thriller series The Orphan Trilogy  continues to attract the plaudits of Amazon reviewers.

★★★★★ “Every twist and turn that you can imagine” -Holy Smoley Book Review

★★★★ “This book is fast paced, and I mean fast” -C9C Reviews

★★★★ “A Cloak and Dagger Grand Prix” -The Kindle Book Review

★★★★★ “Moves at the speed of a runaway train” -J.R. Rogers (author of ‘Doomed Spy’)

★★★★★ “What makes The Ninth Orphan stand out from other thrillers is its intelligent handling of its themes. Like Kazuo Ishiguro’s haunting novel, Never Let Me Go, The Ninth Orphan taps into our fascination with the possibilities of genetic selection, and the consequences it may bring. Throw in a pinch of romance and the suggestion of political shadow organizations that may or may not operate in the real world, and you have an exhilarating read that will keep the little grey cells ticking over long after you’ve reached the final page.” -The Flaneur Book Reviews UK
