CRITICS’ PRAISE FOR MIKE BOND
Assassins
“An exhilarating spy novel that offers equal amounts of ingenuity and intrigue.” – Kirkus
“Packs one thrilling punch after the other … A first-rate thriller. – Book Chase
“Powerful, true to life, and explosive … The energy is palpable and the danger is real … A story that could be ripped right out of the headlines.” – Just Reviews
“Mike Bond is one of America’s best thriller writers … You need to get this book … It’s an eye-opener, a page-turner … very strongly based in reality.” – Culture Buzz
“Riveting, thrilling … so realistic and fast-paced that the reader felt as if they were actually there.” – NetGalley
“The action is outstanding and realistic. The suspense flows from page to page … The background is provided by recent events we have all lived through. The flow of the writing is almost musical as romance and horrors share equal billing.” – Goodreads
Killing Maine
FIRST PRIZE FOR FICTION, 2016, New England Book Festival: “A gripping tale of murders, manhunts and other crimes set amidst today’s dirty politics and corporate graft, an unforgettable hero facing enormous dangers as he tries to save a friend, protect the women he loves, and defend a beautiful, endangered place.”
“Another stellar ride from Bond; checking out Pono’s first adventure isn’t a prerequisite, but this will make readers want to.” – Kirkus
“Another terrifically entertaining read from a master of the storytelling craft … A work of compelling fiction … Very highly recommended.” – Midwest Book Review
“Quite a ride for those who love good crime thrillers … I can’t recommend this one strongly enough.” – Book Chase

Tibetan Cross
“Grips the reader from the very first chapter until the climactic ending.” – UPI
“A taut, tense tale of pursuit through exotic and unsavory locales.” – Publishers Weekly
“An astonishing thriller.” – San Francisco Examiner
“It is a thriller … Incredible, but also believable.” – Associated Press
“Bond never loses the reader’s attention … working that fatalistic margin where life and death are one and the existential reality leaves one caring only to survive.” – Sunday Oregonian
“Murderous intensity … A tense and graphically written story.” – Richmond Times
“The most jaundiced adventure fan will be held by Tibetan Cross.” – Sacramento Bee
“Grips the reader from the opening chapter and never lets go.” – Miami Herald
Holy War
“The suspense-laden novel has a never-ending sense of impending doom … An unyielding tension leaves a lasting impression.” – Kirkus
“A profound tale of war … Literally impossible to stop reading.” – British Armed Forces Broadcasting
“A terrific book … The smells, taste, noise, dust, and fear are communicated so clearly.” – Great Book Escapes
“A supercharged thriller … A story to chill and haunt you.” – Peterborough Evening Telegraph (UK)
“If you are looking to get a driver’s seat look at the landscape of modern conflict, holy wars, and the Middle East then this is the perfect book to do so.” – Masterful Book Reviews
“A stunning novel of love and loss, good and evil, of real people who live in our hearts after the last page is done … Unusual and profound.” – Greater London Radio
