Story Behind The Book
This is the second Aidan Snow novel and has taken me three years to complete. The first novel Hetman took ten years. I'm hoping that number three will take less.
Reviews
As the author of 'Hetman' and 'Cold Black' I wanted to share with you all the review I
receieved for 'Hetman' from the 2010 Amazon Breakthrough Novel Award
(ABNA) Expert Reviewer:
<br /><br />The strongest aspect of this work is the writer's knowledge of
Ukraine and Special Forces operations. The detail about Kyiv is well
done, and creates an appealing background for the primary character,
Aidan Snow.
<br /><br />Other strong aspects of Hetman are that the story has good pacing,
moves along well and holds the reader's attention. The writing is clear,
well defined and to the point, without burdening the reader with
distractions from the plot.
<br /><br />Hetman is a well written novel that will appeal to those who love
spy adventures. I liked the character of Bull, he felt real on the page,
and you don't get better than that. The secondary characters are
interesting and the author does a good job of character development, as
well as creating a well paced novel.
