It’s been a while since I’ve read a serialised book. Probably the ONLY one I remember is Stephen King’s The Green Mile. Has this serialised series been a success? Well, I guess I’ll have to wait till I’ve read the last two parts but if they are anything like as satisfying as this one, then the answer is a resounding YES.
An MP arrives home to find that his son has been kidnapped and he is under tight control by the kidnappers. What can he do to solve this problem? If only he knew someone with a special knack for getting people out of impossible situations. Enter Scope.
I’ve never read any of Kernick’s Scope books before but have been a fan ever since Relentless. This book is so fast paced, you’ll get to the end before you know it. Scope is a fantastically realised character. The reluctant hero.
Kernick’s writing is breathless and fluent and with such little room in this part one, he never veers away from the main plot. I like this approach and wish my own writing could be as disciplined.
Great book, great characters. Quick read. Buy this now and you might as well get the other two parts at the same time. You won’t want to waste time coming back to the Amazon store at the end of part one.
You can pick up Dead Man's Gift: Part One from Amazon.

Dead Man’s Gift: Yesterday is the first of the three-part story that needs to be read in order. Each part builds upon the last, pulling you deeper into the story.
Dead Man’s Gift: Yesterday introduces the reader to all that is to come. It sucks the reader right in, ensuring they are desperate to see how everything comes together. You get enough information to have some theories, but not enough to put everything together.
Although short, it’s a great start to the story.
