Praise for John Gilstrap’s Jonathan Grave Thrillers
“I read HARM’S WAY in one sitting, including through dinner. Loved
the book! John Gilstrap fast became one of my favorite authors. I
look forward to many more good reads like this one.” —Fern Michaels
on Harm's Way
“Gilstrap’s dazzling creativity is on full display in this intense,
tightly focused thriller; the books just keep getting better and
better.” —Mystery Scene on Lethal Game
“Rocket-paced suspense.” —Jeffery Deaver
“Gilstrap will leave you breathless.” —Harlan Coben
“When you pick up a Gilstrap novel, one thing is always true—you
are going to be entertained at a high rate of speed.” —Suspense
Magazine on Final Target
“Propulsive…Not everyone survives the final confrontation, but
series fans can rest assured that Grave will fight again.
Straightforward plotting, amped-up action, and amusing banter keep
the pages turning.” —Publishers Weekly on Total Mayhem
“In the scintillating Scorpion Strike, the ever-reliable John
Gilstrap may well have fashioned the best Die Hard-esque tale ever
not starring Bruce Willis…Scorpion Strike reads like an 1980s
action movie unspooling in our imaginations. Relentlessly paced as
well as brilliantly told and constructed, this is as good as
thrillers get.” —The Providence Journal
“John Gilstrap has been on a roll the past few years, delivering
action-packed thrillers that stand out for a number of reasons.
Gilstrap seems to zig when everyone else zags. While other writers
are focusing on beating headlines and having their series
protagonists face off with Russia and/or North Korea, Gilstrap has
kept his storylines fresh and unique.” —The Real Book Spy on Total
Mayhem
“The series deserves attention from anyone who enjoys plot-driven
thrillers…the stories are first rate and the action is thrilling.”
—Booklist on Scorpion Strike
“If you like Vince Flynn and Brad Thor, you’ll love John Gilstrap.”
—Gayle Lynds
“Fast paced and well plotted…should go down well with fans looking
mainly for action.” —Booklist on Final Target
“Filled with action, political intrigue, and raw heroism.”
—Publishers Weekly on Final Target
“If you only read one book this summer, make sure it’s Friendly
Fire, and be ready to strap yourself in for the ride of your life.”
—Suspense Magazine
“Gilstrap’s prose is the taut, fast-moving stuff of the best of
action novels.” —Northern Virginia Magazine
