About the author
Stephen Taylor
32 books67 followersStephen 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.

very good Thriller
A very good Thriller that has Pearson and his close friend Scott heading to Australia to meet Scott’s sister Nicki allowing Scott to arrange meetings to expand his business and give Pearson some relaxation time. On forgetting her phone at work Nicki returned to it and witnessed some strange activity and as the owner of the tech company was trying out a secret trial turning people normally placid and law abiding into killers he decided to have her killed. Pearson noticed the stakeout of her house and being followed the following day. The following attempts on her and Pearson’s left all three going on the run while working out a plan of attack. Fast moving action from this point onwards.

The first 6 were superb. A few minor plot holes but overall kept me wanting to buy the next book. Fast paced action and seemingly stuff that could and possibly does happen. But then Command To Kill. I may be in a minority here but the opening ‘gag’ was weak and very transparent and then it just degenerated into what I thought was a really poor Doctor Who style fantasy. The action scenes were as good as ever and the build up to the finale was also good but the plot - not for me. Doesn’t stop me reading the rest and I can confirm, book 8 puts Danny back into the (almost :) ) believable good stuff.

Danny’s visit to Australia
A simple visit with his friend Scott to visit his sister and also visit the new office he was setting up for the security firm in Sydney, Scott had a business meeting, Danny was down as his assistant so his travel was paid for, nothing is ever that simple. Great book, they find themselves having to saving Nikki and themselves when she discovers some strange unexplained things going on g on at the company she works for when returning at night to retrieve her phone, it was the only number her brother had who was arriving shortly from the UK.

This is the seventh book in the Danny Pearson series.
Anyone that knows me they know that I absolutely love Danny Pearson and he has grown so much as a character that you believe that he is real.
I've also said that Vodka over London Ice has been my favourite book in the series but boy does Command To Kill come in a very close second!
Another great action packed adventure from the great Stephen Taylor.

Well I have just finished reading quite a few of Stephen Taylor’s Danny Pearson thrillers and I must admit that they do not disappoint in ANY way. Really well written and full of action and adventure from beginning to end you couldn’t ask for anything more from a thriller novel. I am definitely looking forward to reading more in the series!!
