Neil Walker on The Drug Gang Trilogy
The Books
The Drug Gang Trilogy follows John Kennedy, a young man with a mysterious past from Belfast, as he gets embroiled in the drug dealing underworld of Manchester – England, Sydney - Australia and Belfast – Northern Ireland. He also makes a brief pit stop in Hong Kong in Drug Gang Takedown. John is definitely an anti-hero and the books are dark and gritty, as well as giving readers a few chuckles along the way.
The first book sees him arrive in Manchester on his way home to Northern Ireland, after a year of travelling and living in Australia. Rather than return to Belfast and the problems of his regular life, he is successfully tempted into the drug dealing underworld of the city. At first, he can only see the upside and doesn’t feel he is doing anything wrong, but as the story progresses, his life and the situations he finds himself in get a lot more complicated.
The Experience
The stories take place in a kind of moral grey area, which I have personally found to be the reality of the world these books are set in…and the real world in general. There aren’t really any out and out black and white hats in the story, just realistic human beings with different motivations and agendas. Having said that, there are certainly characters that readers will root for and those that readers will hate. I have based these stories on my own experiences, but then taken them a step or two further for the fictional narrative…

“Continued remarks about John and Lisa being like Clarence and Alabama in True Romance or Mickey and Mallory in Natural Born Killers had lifted the atmosphere somewhat.”

Best of the 2010s Book Recomendations
No. 3 in the Best of the 2010s Book Recomendations Top 20!
3. Drug Gang series by Neil Walker
Holy heck, this book series is WILD! If you love Game of Thrones, Breaking Bad and the Godfather, you’ll love this series. While I wanted to include the last book in my 2019 summary, I couldn’t leave out the other two books in this series. So, I decided to give this series it’s own place in the 2010s best of list!
Drugs and sex, blood and guts, and crazy gangs are littered throughout this series. It’s a hard R novel that is an absolute guilty pleasure – think the craziness of John Wick plus the insanity of Pulp Fiction. Neil has such a great collection here it’d be a shame to not introduce you to it!
It was definitely one of the series I was anxiously waiting to read during the 2010s!

Check out this awesome new review of Drug Gang Takedown: Drug Gang Part III from Briar's Reviews in Canada!
https://briarsreviews.wordpress.com/2...
"Let's finish this series with a bang" - Something I imagine Neil Walker said during his writing process.
Drug Gang Takedown is an epic finale to the Drug Gang series, and boy does it not disappoint! We jump right in after the sequel and go on one wild ride! This time, we're in Sydney, Australia and things are NOT going well. Lisa is in trouble, John is screwed and there's more violence than ever! Don't forget some legendary criminals to make everyone's day worse!
The sequel novel had you thinking John was out for good, but this book takes it to a whole new level. I feel like Neil couldn't just leave it at the sequel, he had to go for bigger and better (which, of course, he did). The book moves quickly, is full of blood and gore and really leaves a mark on the reader. It's an R rated hit with lots of punch, and you better be ready to binge it! It's one crazy ride, you'll never want to put it down. There's lots of swears, hatchets and knives a-flying! It's an absolutely bonkers ride! The plot twist, the ending... it was well worth the wait, that's for sure! Neil Walker has crafted one excellent trilogy!
It did take me a while to work through it, but only because life got in the way. If I had it my way, this book would have been binged in a couple of days.
I loved all the song references in this book - I had to add them to my catalogue to listen to later. I love some good, old fashioned rock and roll! It was something little, but it did add a little grin to my face when I knew what songs the characters were referencing.
I would recommend reading the full series to get the full impact of this book. I think it could standalone, but I wouldn't want any readers to lose out on the ever expanding universe Neil has created. It just feels better knowing what happened in the first two novels.
I'd give this book four out of five stars. I'm not crazy into blood, gore and violence but it was a really good read! I'd highly recommend it if you're wanting to pick up some R rated reads in your future!
There are also fantastic reviews of Drug Gang, Drug Gang Vengeance and many, many more on the Briar's Reviews site:
