Praise for Jude Hardin’s Thrillers:
POCKET-47 sucked me in and held me enthralled. Author Jude Hardin keeps the pace frantic, the thrills non-stop, but best of all is his hero, the wonderfully ironic Nicholas Colt. This is a character I’m eager to follow through many adventures to come.
—Tess Gerritsen, New York Times bestselling author of DIE AGAIN: A RIZZOLI & ISLES NOVEL
The best PI debut I’ve read in years, fit to share shelf space with the best of Ross Macdonald, Sue Grafton, and Robert B. Parker. POCKET-47 is so hot you may burn your hands reading. Highly recommended.
—J.A. Konrath, author of the Jack Daniels mysteries
Hardin gets everything right in his powerhouse thriller debut, which introduces rock star–turned–PI Nicholas Colt.
—Publishers Weekly on POCKET-47
KEY DEATH is an exhilarating thriller that punches way above its weight. It hits you hard and fast with crackling suspense, hair-raising twists and stunning revelations. Word of advice: don’t start on this one unless you’re prepared to stay up all night.
—John Ling, author of THE BLASPHEMER
Colt is a physical, no-holds-barred PI, reminiscent of Robert B. Parker’s Spenser and Lee Child’s Jack Reacher, and his debut is action-packed. With a hefty toll of dead bodies, some described in cringe-inducing detail, this is crime fiction at its rawest. Hard-boiled connoisseurs should make Colt’s acquaintance now.
—Booklist on POCKET-47
With CROSSCUT, Jude Hardin takes the PI novel and psychological suspense to a new, unrestrained level. Fast, fierce, and relentless.
—David Morrell, New York Times bestselling creator of Rambomore
My main complaint is that books 4 and 5 are 30 minute reads. Not worth the price. The first 3-book set has one long book, and then two 30 minute or less sequels all bound together. I don’t buy short stories. I bought them all at the same time, but when I saw the size/length of each book, I returned the last two without reading them. The first book was OK, with some unusual twists, but the rest – too short.
Really? Another Reacher rip-off? 70-80 years in the future and no new technology, no improved transportation, no change in anything from 2010.
On top of that, it’s a serial rather than a series.
No, thanks, I’ll pass.
AN interesting twist on the Jack Reacher story. A good read.
Fun to read a book inspired by the character of Jack Reacher, as I love his adventures. Hope to hear more about Rock.
Lame. Set 80 years in the future and they use the same tech (e. g. cellphones) as we do now.
Jude Hardin was new to me – thought this very good and I want to read more of his books.
I’m a great fan of the Jack Reacher books.
I enjoyed these stories, set in the future. Not quite Lee Childs, but they held my interest.
Were entertaining short stories. I wished each one was longer so it could go into more depth. If you like Jack Reacher you find these enjoyable
can’t wait to read the next in the series
Well written and held my attention.
I think that it’s in the realm of possibility and that scares me to death.
I don’t like the short stories concept.
It seemed strange to read about a cloned character in the future, but you kind of fall right in and say “what would Reacher do?”
Reacher clone, literally… OK but if I am going to read a Reacher Novel why not read one. Books 1-3, hook to buy more.
A slightly-better-than-average takeoff based on the Jack Reacher novels by Lee Child.
Waste of time . Should never be allowed to use Jack Reacher”s name.
This is a really interesting book. Who would have thought of cloning Jack Reacher? Not only did they get a physical look-alike, this clone of Jack Reacher heads pell-mell into trouble too. Can recommend to you.
This guy can write. Seemingly effortlessly. He always kept me interested.
I really like the way Jude writes and would like it even better if he would write full novels instead of short stories.
