Robert Goddard recommends
The Partisan (2022)
Patrick Worrall
"Patrick Worrall has produced a constantly fascinating and emotionally authentic thriller that moves effortlessly and atmospherically from one decade to another and one location to another as the story's devious secrets are revealed."
The Year of the Locust (2022)
Terry Hayes
"Rendition yourself into a pulsating thriller that never lets up as it carries the hero and the reader on an ever more desperate race between time and an all too plausible disaster for the world we live in. Great nail-biting stuff!"
The Manhattan Project (2018)
Paul McNeive
"A disturbingly plausible thriller that builds to an edge-of-your-seat climax."
