This excerpt was pulled from the fabulously talented, Steven Savile's London Macabre. London Macabre is one of my favorite books. Dripping with delicious tones, the writing pulls you into its pages and keeps you wanting more. And there is so much more! My review of London Macabre on Amazon is short and sweet because after reading such beautifully written words, I found myself fumbling:
"This book is absolutely brilliant! I enjoy reading Mr. Savile's books - all are unique & fabulously written, but this book is a sensory masterpiece. It is like a ripened mango - perfectly luscious & distinct, yet dripping with so much savory nectar you can't possibly manage to devour it entirely. So delectable are the perfectly weaved words that I find myself clamoring for more.
Intense, descriptive & passionate, I wouldn't be surprised if this book hits the top ten lists. Love, love, love it! Please take a look - it's worth every penny and the online version is so well priced, I encourage you to buy it!"
Of course, you can find Steven the second you type his name onto Google - pages and pages of him in fact! And what a read it all is! A master of horror, action, adventure, adult AND young adult books, there seems to be no stopping this man who, for all in-tends purposes, is a writing God.
Moonlands is one of Steven's sweet books that departs from the adult action world into Young Adult territory. Focusing on a teenage girl named Ashley who discovers an ancient Fae Kingdom opening up around her, it is a brilliant piece of fantasy fiction that showcases Steven's talent for switching genre's so effortlessly, one can only admire him.
Silver - yet another action-packed adventure - made Amazon's top best selling book list. I would rank it alongside such greats as Dan Brown's The DaVinci Code. If you love mystery and intrigue, this book is right up your alley! I have posted the link and hope you will check it out. In any case, this will give you a taste:
"There is a plague coming....For forty days and forty nights fear shall savage the streets. Those steeped in sin shall burn. The dying begins now"
"There is a plague coming....For forty days and forty nights fear shall savage the streets. Those steeped in sin shall burn. The dying begins now"
With this chilling message a wave of terror unlike anything the world has ever seen sweeps the streets of Europe. Thirteen martyrs burn themselves alive in thirteen major cities simultaneously. And this is just the beginning. A religious cult calling itself the Disciples of Judas has risen in the Middle East. They twist the words of ancient prophecies to drive home the fear. Everything you believe in will be proved wrong. Everything you hold true will fail. Day by day the West wakes to increasingly harrowing acts of terror. As fear cripples the capitals of Europe, the only question is where will be the next to fall? London? Rome? Berlin? In a race against time - believing the terrorists intend to assassinate the Pope - Sir Charles Wyndham's unique Special Ops team, codename Ogmios, track a labyrinthine course through truth, shades of truth and outright lies that takes them from the backstreets of London to the shadow of Checkpoint Charlie in Berlin and all the way into the heart of the Holy See itself.
Again, Steven is easily found on google, amazon, facebook, twitter - you name it. Go and check out his work - you will not regret it! In fact, I bet you will add him to your top 5 lists. I did.
