Praise for The Boy Who Saw:

‘Wow, what a book. I thought it was powerful and innovative, a riveting blend of action and quest that takes the thriller into territory where thrillers rarely venture’ Andrew Taylor, bestselling author of The American Boy and The Ashes of London

‘Tense, nail-biting and exciting. The Boy Who Saw is a heart-in-the-mouth race against time thriller and I couldn't put it down. Solomon Creed is one hell of a hero and Simon Toyne is one hell of a writer’ C L Taylor

Tense, intriguing, mysterious … everything you could want in a thriller. Toyne has done it again’ Paul Finch, bestselling author of Strangers

‘Emotionally powerful, utterly engaging, beautifully layered, Simon Toyne's new series takes thriller writing to another level. Give me more Solomon Creed!' Sarah Pinborough, No.1 Sunday Times bestselling author of Behind Her Eyes

‘Simon Toyne is one of my favourites. In Solomon Creed, he’s created a hero for the ages. A word of warning: if you have anything else to get done, don’t crack open a Toyne thriller’ Gregg Hurwitz, No.1 Sunday Times bestselling author of The Nowhere Man

The Boy Who Saw is the Pandora’s Box of books – once opened it cannot be closed. Toyne's writing brings effortless fluency combined with heart-pounding action. Readers beware … this is a glorious terror of a tale’ Helen Fields

The second chapter of Solomon Creed is as good if not better than the book.
Great story line, I was engrossed from the start. Some quiet amusing parts which made me smile, which was nice as the story is quiet dark.
Loved it and can't wait for the third instalment.
