Recenzje

Praise for PEACEMAKER:
'This fireball of a military thriller... Few authors integrate multiple plots with such dazzling 3-D realism and technical accuracy... Harrowing shipboard battles, nail-biting emergency plane flights and riveting action drive this turbo-charged thriller. A tour de force with near hypnotic pull, Kent's second outing scores a bull's-eye' PUBLISHERS WEEKLY

'Heroes of both sexes to root for, deliciously corrupt villains to create anxiety: this rollicking, rousing naval thriller bears comparison to the genre's best.' KIRKUS REVIEWS

Praise for NIGHT TRAP:
'Kent knows his subject at first hand and the expertise shows on the page: high stakes, pounding tension and the best dogfights put on paper. A lot of thrillers these days, you come away feeling like you've been in a simulator. Gordon Kent straps you into the real thing. Enjoy the ride!' IAN RANKIN

'Flying, spying and dying - Night Trap is the real straight Navy stuff. Better strap yourself to the chair for this one. I loved it.' STEPHEN COONTS

O autorze

Gordon Kent is the pseudonym of a father-and-son writing team, both of whom have considerable experience in the US Navy. The idea for Night Trap was born out of a series of fishing and hiking trips together.

Their interests, many of which are shared, include military matters, Africa, antiques, book collecting, war gaming and theatre. Both now live in the USA.
