Never Forget - A Saul Marshall Thriller (Book 2)

Never Forget (Saul Marshall Thriller Book 2) by [Davis, Richard]
NEVER FORGET - A Saul Marshall Thriller (Book 2) by Richard Davis

A new offering of a modern-day warrior tale comes to life in the form of “Never Forget,” a second sequel in the Saul Marshall series.
Saul Marshall is plunged into the harrowing machinations of evil which force him to pursue diabolical enemies. He is forced to face the calculated plans of a fatal agenda that anticipates absolute destruction.

The author has distorted the lines of questionable ethics and the bleak realization of impending catastrophe. The stakes have never been higher; and the reader is thrown between the precarious sectors of normalcy and the seedy underworld that the main character must blend into.

I set my jaw. While I could pretend as though I was still just taking things one step at a time, and could extricate myself with impunity at any point, I knew this was a delusion.

The research that Richard Davis incorporates into this novel lends another level of credibility that is deeply disturbing.

‘...There’s enormous sensitivity in China towards anything that could constitute an encroachment on sovereignty. And America – the preeminent superpower, and a capitalist one no less – is perceived by China as a prime culprit…’

The story escalates in a compelling crescendo of lies and bureaucracy. Davis has created a wide parallel of cautionary terror and thematic consequences that every reader is coming to associate with his writing.

Richard Davis is a Londoner and this is his second novel in the Saul Marshall Series. In 2011 he graduated from UCL and Cambridge University. He is currently published with Canelo.

Exit Strategy

An astonishingly harrowing tale of terror and fright. The mind is a truly incredible mechanism.
Exit Strategy by L.F. Falconer
The story is about Jonas Dumar, a fugitive accused of murder, who sets sail to start a new existence. Only, there's a catch, how far can a person outrun himself?

A stroke of desperation. 

Jonas decides to venture across the Atlantic, away from the accusations of murder and deceit, he sets off with his trusty dog to find haven in a different land.  In the silence of his journey, his mind is his greatest friend and enemy. As he grapples with the emergence of new and old acquaintances, he is pushed to the brink of restraint. 

Enter Gabe and Izzy. They are two free spirits trying to work their way back to Spain. Jonas takes the couple along on his vessel, hoping to circumvent the long, quiet hours spent on the open sea. But nothing is as it seems. The ominous and hellish journey has only begun, Jonas risks his very existence as he attempts to outrun his own demons.

Exit Strategy is a fantastic, hair-raising story that will keep the reader guessing. L.F. Falconer weaves a masterful tale, both simplistic and convoluted, giving insight into the human psyche and causes us to ruminate on our own sanity. I highly recommend this new read of 2013.
