Discover what critics are saying about this new terrorism thriller series:

"Readers who like coolly competent killers plying their trade with unadorned prose will find themselves quickly turning pages until the end. "Publisher's Weekly, Booklife Reviews

"Readers of international thrillers and military fiction will find the nonstop action and espionage scenarios gripping." Midwest Book Review

"Kenneth is one of our strongest thriller writers on the scene and the fact that he draws his stories from the contemporary philosophical landscape is very much to his credit. Another top-flight novel from the master of intrigue - one of his best series yet. Kenneth has become our go-to man for thrillers." Grady Harp, Literary Aficionado

"Five books removed from Eade's excellent series debut, An Evil Trade feels just as urgent as the original. This is largely due to the subject matter, which is derived from actual ISIS atrocities. What's more, Robert is a robust character who is essentially nationless due to the complexities of his trade. While his allies and enemies alike span the globe, the lack of official affiliation with a government entity makes his plight feel especially precarious. For newcomers to the series, Eade provides just enough backstory to make An Evil Trade a viable entry point. He also uses his platform to illustrate the dangers of competing oligarchies and demagoguery on politics." BestThrillers

"An Evil Trade by Kenneth Eade is an engaging, fast-paced novel, a fantastic page-turner that felt like an action movie. I enjoyed the simple layout of this complex story because so much was going on in the book, but Kenneth tied it up neatly. The thorough blending of fact and fiction is another point that this novel gets from me. I could clearly see that the book touched on the situation of the United States regarding politics, racism, and corruption. It also sheds some light on the organ trafficking issue across Syria, Turkey, and the whole of Europe. Kenneth wove a compelling story that made me laugh, yet kept me on edge because the suspense was killing me. I hope to read a sequel to this book!" Reader's Favorite
