Review # 1 was written on 2009-02-08 00:00:00 Yiu Lam Joe Hunter goes right to the top of my list of someone I would want in my corner if things go wrong. Lee Child's Jack Reacher held that spot for a long time but there is a new man in town and he's a tough one. Joe is ex-military and separated from his wife. When Joe learns that his sister-in-law Jennifer is in trouble he rushes to her aid. Jennifer was married to Joe's half-brother John Telfer. John and Joe had a disagreement and have been out of touch for sometime. Now Jennifer implores Joe to find his brother. Jennifer shows Joe a letter from the woman who had currently been living with John in Arkansas. The letter stated that John had said if anything ever happened to him to get in touch with Joe. Jennifer begs Joe to go the United States and find John. Although Joe is not sure this task is something he really wants to undertake, he flies to the United States. Joe heads for Florida to hook up with his old friend Jared Rington. The two had been through many battles before and Joe knew he could depend on Rington. As Joe and Jared try to trace John, they begin to realize that John has become involved with a maniac. Tubal Cain is a serial killer who will stop at nothing to fill his own private bone yard. Tubal seems to have no conscience and his mind is very twisted. As the chase moves from Florida across the country, the tension and suspense is non-stop. This is a book that you will want to read in one sitting. I am hoping that there will be another Joe Hunter novel soon. Matt Hilton's website offers the new reader an introduction to Joe Hunter.

Review # 2 was written on 2012-08-09 00:00:00 Jacob Mermelstein At first, reading the words 'Special Forces', I thought that this book wasn't my type. Blind patriotism, superhero and drawing a line short of killing are usually associated with this description. However, I persisted and kept on reading, and was glad I did so. Joe Hunter's foes here are initially vicious criminals, but the narrative of Joe's brother's story, running parallel, throws up a character of the type I thrive on, an anti-hero that can chill the blood, that has no concience, no morals, and, to top it all is highly skilled and very, very dangerous. A worthy opponent for any action hero.. Pitch the Camel Club and Jack Reacher against the Joker, make the action violent, bloody and fraught with danger and it really works. If there's anything about the book that threw me it was that a British author with a British hero would set the story in the US, but hey, who am I to argue, half the authors I read and follow have their stories based there and these days most British readers and viewers know the US almost as they do the UK. I've already got the next in the series lined up and Matt is already on my 'signed collections' list. As a 'debut' novel this is one great read. My only crit is that our heroes seem to lose so much blood yet can still walk away.
