Necessary Evil 10/10 MUST READ
i was not looking forward to this one, the last two books before this (Hybrid & Hell to pay, were poor ) but Shuan Hustson went to old gory ways, this books is a masterpices.
It was to be a routine job. Matt Franklin and his companions would rob the Securicor van. Simple. Until the job turned into a nightmare. Two of his men are shot dead and another is fatally wounded. But who is trying to wipe them out, killing not just them but their families too? How are the Government and the British army implicated? What lurks within a secret research establishment in the English countryside? Franklin has to find out. Finally, the only one left alive, he tires of being the prey and decides to become the hunter.

His quest will bring him into conflict with forces he cannot begin to imagine or understand, but he is driven by a need for revenge that overrides his fear.

Aided by a desperate detective, Franklin becomes embroiled in a series of events that lead to a terrifying climax in the London Underground, where he comes face to face with the answers he has sought.

Like all of us, Franklin was told monsters don't exist. He's about to find out that someone was lying

Knife Edge 7/10 this is so diffrent of others books, there not gory at all , i love Shaun gory stuff, but i thought i would hate this book, Shaun Hustson it so good, it grab into books, i loved it.
'You know what bombs can do...'

When Sean Doyle receives his first message from Robert Neville, he has only seven hours in which to save London - and the Northern Ireland peace process - from disaster.

Neville is an explosives expert in the British Army, but peace in the Province has ripped a hole in his life. His demands are simple: to be re-united with his daughter, Lisa. His threats are terrifying: a series of bombs to be detonated in the centre of the capital every hour until he has the girl. Already responsible for a string of callous attacks on Irish public figures on both sides of the political divide, it's clear to all concerned that Neville is deadly serious. And Military Intelligence wants him stopped before the cease-fire is dealt a fatal blow.

As a member of the Counter Terrorist Unit, Doyle knows his own days are numbered by the cessation of The Troubles. He's close to understanding Neville's mind - closer, in fact, than it is safe to be. Doyle also knows he could be signing his death warrant if he observes orders, but whatever the fighting has taken from him - it has not destroyed his duty to fight terrorism. It's his job.

But this day's work has only just begun. Forced to toy with the life of an innocent girl and trust the words of a cold-hearted assassin, Doyle must find Neville before London is reduced to rubble - and before his own violent instincts propel him towards self-destruction

Spawn 10/10 MUST READ (based on true story)
From Shaun Hutson, author of the classic horror tale Slugs, comes Spawn - a psychologically complex terror thriller about two disturbed men and the unnatural consequences of their deeds.

Harold Pierce is released from a mental hospital where he has spent all of his adult life. His new job as a hospital porter involves him in the burning of aborted foetuses - an act which brings back nightmare memories of the death by fire of his baby brother Gordon. The trauma is such that the deranged but gentle Harold begins to neglect his duties...

Paul Harvey is a convicted murderer and his escape from prison places the Exham police force under a great deal of pressure. Their vigorous manhunt yields no results but when they begin to investigate a brutal series of murders no one has any doubt that it is Harvey who is decapitating the hapless victims...
