About the author

Stephen Taylor spent over twenty years wiring up homes and businesses with audio visual kit before the big 50 started looming and he finally sat down to write the book he’d always had rattling around in his head.

That book was Execution of Faith — a supercharged, no-nonsense thriller that hit the ground running and never looked back. Readers loved it so much he wrote a prequel, Vodka Over London Ice, which became the first in what is now the internationally bestselling Danny Pearson series.

Raised on a diet of Lee Child’s Jack Reacher, Vince Flynn’s Mitch Rapp, and Tom Wood’s Victor — with a healthy side serving of Die Hard, Daniel Craig’s Bond, and anything Guy Ritchie ever pointed a camera at — Stephen writes the kind of thrillers he wants to read: hard, fast, no filler, and with enough humour to keep you grinning between the gunfights.

The Danny Pearson series has found fans across the world who love action that doesn’t let up and a hero who’s as handy with a one-liner as he is with his fists. If you like your thrillers with the throttle wide open, you’re in the right place.

A truly awesome action ride!

They say that there is an art to writing short stories. Well if there is, this author has it in heaps. This was an action packed roller coaster which had more to it than a lot of full length novels and keeps you on the edge of your seat from beginning to end. Looking forward to reading more!

Brilliant short story , I thought no one could be as bad as Nicholas Snipe then up pops his equally deranged older brother , full on action from beginning to end.

Just when you thought it was Snipeless. Danny Pearson can't seem to catch a break. It's a fast ride and you wonder who is going to win this round.

Fills in some details

This story fills in some details, background and consequences of the authors excellent book Elimination of Faith, but it works just as well as a stand alone tale. For me this is definitely an author to follow. Thank you Stephen.

This was a different type of short story, it was almost a joke. I did't know if the story was like a fairy tale at first because the characters were like super power people? I would tell potential readers to look for something else to spend their time on.

If this is an example of Stephen Taylor’s thriller fiction, it’s a good preamble. The action is non-stop and narrative true to the genre. Enjoyable in its own way.

But… Though well written overall, there’s too much local idiom usage and reinforced violence to rate higher.

Funny short action book

For a first time reader this book was funny and short action adventure! I love the idea that the books can be read in any order.

This short story was my introduction to Danny Pearson. I read it in a few hours, unputdownable as it was. Fast paced action, if a bit violent. Great read.

Interesting read

I like the criminal minds/law and order vibes from this short story. It is interesting to read and caught my attention when I read a little about it first.

A perfect read.

What a fantastic read. The story was exciting and exhilarating from start to finish. I just hope the next book in the series are the same.

[Tina · Rating 5 out of 5]

A man out for revenge who will stop at absolutely nothing to gain what he's set his mind too. Murder and death, execution style.

Wow just wow. Action from start to finish. So fast paced, action didnt let up one bit. Short read of about an hour but an intense read 😊.
