'Hilton is more adept at humour than Lee Child ... the series should be electrifying' -- Daily Mail 'Hilton writes well ... a promising start' -- Guardian 'Hilton hijacks the reader on page one of this white knuckle terror ride - and doesn't let go.' -- Daily Record 'The pace of DEAD MEN'S DUST is a scorcher, with the action beginning right from the start and never flagging... As a story character, Joe Hunter takes you in at the deep end and never lets up. Breathtaking.' -- www.shotsmag.co.uk 'A high-voltage, gripping read ... Fast, ferocious and a thrill a page, this book will have you reading into the wee, small hours. The action is non-stop, the fight scenes authentic and thrilling. The finale in particular is as good as any action scene I've read in recent years.' -- www.crimesquad.com 'If you're looking out for a new hero with muscle and deadly skills then Joe Hunter is your man. It's the most explosive debut I've read since Lee Child's modern day knight in tarnished armour, Jack Reacher, arrived in Killing Floor... It's breathless, page-ripping stuff - and Hunter will be back.' -- Peterborough Evening Telegraph 'A dose of pure rocket fuel. Starts fast, gets faster, and doesn't quit right through to the slam bang finale. Dead Men's Dust is as enjoyable a thriller as you will read this year, and I do mean "Thriller!" My ears are still ringing with gunfire! I loved this book.' -- Christopher Reich, author of RULES OF DECEPTION 20080929 'Taut, thrilling, tense - I loved it!' -- Richard Hammond 20080929 'Hard-hitting and fast-paced, I was hooked from start to finish' -- Simon Kernick 20080929
