The Timekeepers Box

Danny Pearson #3.7

by Stephen Taylor

One of Danny SAS team took a souvenir from a bombed-out mosque in Syria. The ornate 15th century box has deep religious meaning for the villagers. After three years of searching, they find Danny and his team who are all on civvy street. They must return the box or one of their team will die. There’s only one problem. Where is the box?

Who doesn't love a short story, for me as a reader as well as an author the ability to dip in and get a taste of a series is priceless. Have a read on the train on the way to work, or on the bus, or at the airport. I had a great time writing this short novel and I hope you enjoy reading it just as much.

So, it’s goodbye for now and I hope to see you reading one of my full-length Danny Pearson Thrillers soon

Thanks for reading

Reviews

[Tina · Rating 4 out of 5]

Its action galore from start to finish. To save Fergus they have to find the box. Easier than it sounds though.

Fast paced and action packed.

[Jo · Rating 4 out of 5]

Brothers in arms pulling together to save one of them. Pawn shops, cat burglary, safes, and religion all combine to make these seem to be normal days for Danny Pearson.

[Neelabh Pratap Singh · Rating 3 out of 5]

It was a really short read. 70 odd pages. I haven't read any other Danny Pearson, so don't know how it was compared to the full novels. As for this one, the story is fairly simple. Danny's one of the army mates is kidnapped by Syrians. They need a box belonging to a 9th century prophet that one of Danny's friends had stolen in their operation. They move from one person to another in search of the box. What follows next is high paced high octane action sequences. A good entertainer if you aren't looking for something deeper and heavier.

Enjoyable

I enjoyed the storyline, not as much as the first two short stories in this "series", but I still enjoyed it. It did introduce us to some possible additions to the Danny Pearson universe.
