"Tony Moffitt's 'Die By The Sword' is a rattling good yarn!
Moffitt's writing style reminds me a lot of Lee Child's early books. His sentences are short, clipped and sharp... and yet the story itself is reminiscent of Wilbur Smith's early stand-alone action adventure novels such as 'Eye of the Tiger', 'Hungry as the Sea' and 'Shout at the Devil' (as well as some of Desmond Bagley's adventure novels).
The main character has the wit and sarcasm of Nelson DeMille's wonderful John Corey character from DeMille's best sellers 'Plum Island' and 'The Lion's Game'.
Moffitt's main character Todd Kent isn't anywhere near as tough as Nelson DeMille's John Corey, but if you imagine someone like a young Bruce Willis from his 'Die Hard' days in the lead role, then you'd be on the right track.
The book is a full-on entertaining action adventure ride! By the end of the novel our hero has endured as much as any man could survive... but that's all part of this wild adventure that begins at breakneck speed and never, ever relents!"
- Bradley J. Boothe
"WARNING! This is one of those very, very rare adventure novels that will live up to every action/adventure fan's expectations. I could not put it down."
- Allan Collins.
"Sit down and hold on tight. Die By The Sword has more action, more twists and more excitement in the first three chapters than any other book I can recall."
- Jason O'Toole.
About Die By The Sword:
A 200 year old military secret that would change America and Australia forever... A hero unlike any other you have met before... An action-packed adventure that sweeps around the world from America to the storm-ravaged oceans of Australia's Bass Strait. A tense mystery where nothing is what it seems and no one is who they say.
"Tony Moffitt has created an absolutely crazy-good, head-spinning, action-packed romp catapulting you from a sleazy bar in Manhattan to the High Seas of Tasmania. I was hooked from the first page (guys will especially appreciate the opening lines) and then swept up into the perpetual windstorm of action whirling around our quirky Aussie hero, Todd Kent. Is it believable? Who cares? This is entertainment!
Of special mention is the excellent cinematic writing style that would demand someone like a young and battered Bruce Willis (ala Die Hard) to play the character who can survive what Moffitt puts him through. Todd ruefully grows into himself by meeting challenge after challenge; from a guy who some called a coward into someone he actually likes. And the first-person narrative is laced with self-deprecating humor. The best hair-raising adventures are always enhanced with comic relief."
