FEARLESS – MW Craven
Hi-octane, murderous thrills. Reacher take a backseat. Superb action-writing in a plot wound tight as a corkscrew. Totally merits that oft-overused phrase, ‘unputdownable’. @mwcraven.bsky.social knocks it out the park! Full review: paulfinch-writer.blogspot.com/2023/06/key-...

Do you love ‘90s action movies? Then you need to read NOBODY’S HERO by @mwcraven.bsky.social. The audiobook is expertly narrated by William Hope (who played Lt Gorman in ALIENS). It’s one of my favorite novels of recent.
