Sleeper is an exciting tale with pace and surprises. J.D. Fennell can write up a storm.
James Patterson
​
Thrilling and compulsive. The Red Storm is an all action thriller that grips from page one and doesn't let go.

​​
To say that Fennell’s tale has pace and energy is almost to understate the case, and the orchestration of tension is masterly. But he has two other aces up his sleeve — a vivid evocation of time and place (crucial in a period set thriller) and a grasp of characterisation which brings his protagonists to life
Barry Forshaw
This is an extraordinary book. A book that doesn’t pull its punches. It’s a young Bourne, a Da Vinci Code with bite, a war novel… Throw in a bit of Greek mythology, an action-packed climax and a bit of romance, and you pretty much have the full package.
MW Craven
