About the author

Stephen Taylor

32 books67 followers
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.

Danny’s supposed break with Nikki

Danny and Nikki where on there way to meet Scott who had wangled a free trip for them, Scott had a business meeting for a new contract and part of the deal was to fly him and pay for his assistant also. Nikki and Danny flew separately as they were in Australia, on arrival met at the airport by Scott. They all booked into the hotel and retired to recover from their flights, during their rest Scott had uninvited guests who had managed to get a pass key to his room, that’s when the fun started as he was kidnapped. Excellent book, again highly recommended.

Action packed throughout, 5 stars +

It's been a while since I have read Stephen Taylor's Danny Pearson books, but book 9 did not disappoint. Fabulous series just gets better with action all the way. One slight niggle when Scott and Daniel were flying the helicopter a miss calculation of maths when they were planning the direction to take. Great characters, deep story and left on a cliff hanger, looking forward to book 10. Thank you Barbara, Sheffield.

Another great story

Been waiting ages for this to be released then read it in 24 hours, this is the ultimate page turner, Stephen's writing has always been up there with Simon Kernick and now has surpassed him in the crime thriller stakes, in my opinion. Keep them coming Stephen Taylor

nothing to chance

Great exiting stories with. Plenty of action.
In North America when an object falls down inside a building it is called to the floor, when it falls outside it is referred to th ground. Slight semantics.
