I’m sure CONTROL will play well in other contexts, but that screening convinced me that sci-fi strands / festivals are very likely going to be an ideal setting. They knew they’d been had and had again - and they were tickled by it. The disbelieving laughter continued through each of the twists in the end section.
And, best of all - delighted laughs of disbelief when they realised that everything they’d seen thus far was taking place within a game. There was an audible gasp when Philip dropped through the portal and appeared on the beach. The opening fight / chase sequence was like a shot of adrenaline. Then BLAM! CONTROL hit them between the eyes. By the time CONTROL came on the audience had had a heavy dose of zombies / replicants and slow-paced, moody post-apocalyptical urban wastelands. We were showing in an all sci-fi strand, which seems to be the perfect context for our little Trojan Horse. Definitely a talent to watch.”-Lynn S.CONTROL screening at the London Short Film Festival 2015. Child has a sure touch and a strong voice. Hero Jack Reacher has presence and dimension-a man you definitely want on your side. “This is a kick-ass first novel by the very talented Lee Child. Killing Floor is a terrific ride.”-Nevada Barr Lee Child grabs you with the first line and never loosens his grip. I grew up a fan of John Wayne’s and Clint Eastwood’s movies, and it’s great to see a man of their stature back in business. “I love the larger-than-life hero, Jack Reacher. “Beautifully detailed action scenes and fascinating arcana about currency and counterfeiting… taut and tough-minded first novel.”- Publishers Weekly “A big, rangy plot, menace as palpable as a ticking bomb, and enough battered corpses to make an undertaker grin.”- Kirkus Reviews (starred review) But not content with writing a rip-roaring thriller, Child also gives us one of the truly memorable tough-guy heroes in recent fiction: Jack Reacher.”-Jeffery Deaver Lee Child’s Killing Floor is one of them. “Some novelists can write top-notch action and some can create compelling mysteries, yet it’s rare to find both of those skills displayed in a single book. Compelling and relentlessly suspenseful.”- The Denver Post “Violent and visceral…A cut above…Reacher is as tough as he is resourceful. “A tough, compelling thriller with characters who jump off the page.”- Houston Chronicle The author pens nightmarish images as casually as an ordinary writer would dot an ‘i’ or cross a ‘t’.” - The Philadelphia Inquirer “A complex thriller with layer upon layer of mystery and violence and intrigue…A long unsettling trip that leaves your brain buzzing and your stomach knotted. The violence is brutal… depicted with the kind of detail that builds dread and suspense.”- The New York Times Reacher is a wonderfully epic hero: tough, taciturn, yet vulnerable.”- People “Combines high suspense with almost nonstop action. Killing Floor wins awards for Best Corrupt Southern Town in a Summer Novel and Best Exploding Warehouse.”-Stephen King, Entertainment Weekly No Plan B: A Jack Reacher Novel (Large Print / Paperback): The Sentinel: A Jack Reacher Novel (Paperback):īetter Off Dead: A Jack Reacher Novel (Paperback): Past Tense: A Jack Reacher Novel (Paperback):īlue Moon: A Jack Reacher Novel (Paperback): The Midnight Line: A Jack Reacher Novel (Paperback): Night School: A Jack Reacher Novel (Paperback): Make Me (with bonus short story Small Wars): A Jack Reacher Novel (Paperback): Personal: A Jack Reacher Novel (Paperback): Never Go Back: A Jack Reacher Novel (Paperback): The Affair: A Jack Reacher Novel (Paperback):Ī Wanted Man (with bonus short story Not a Drill): A Jack Reacher Novel (Paperback): Worth Dying For: A Jack Reacher Novel (Paperback): Gone Tomorrow: A Jack Reacher Novel (Paperback):Ħ1 Hours: A Jack Reacher Novel (Paperback): Nothing to Lose: A Jack Reacher Novel (Paperback): The Hard Way: A Jack Reacher Novel (Paperback):īad Luck and Trouble: A Jack Reacher Novel (Paperback): Jack Reacher: One Shot (Movie Tie-in Edition): A Novel (Paperback): The Enemy: A Jack Reacher Novel (Paperback): Persuader: A Jack Reacher Novel (Paperback): Without Fail (Jack Reacher #6) (Paperback): Running Blind (Jack Reacher #4) (Paperback):Įcho Burning (Jack Reacher #5) (Paperback): This is book number 1 in the Jack Reacher series.ĭie Trying (Jack Reacher #2) (Paperback):
