Brian Falkner knows how to create pace, slow things a little, up the tension again, ease the action by a fraction, then pour the pace on yet again.” — Bookrapt“This action-filled war story of World War 2 is a novel to rival the Alex Rider series by Anthony Horowitz. I make this comparison because it is totally world class writing from, in my opinion, the best action writer in New Zealand.” — Bobs Book BlogAbout the Kiwi authorBrian Falkner began college intending to study computers, but along the way he decided to shift his focus to something more creative.
