“I finished The Generation Archives in three days! I was hooked straight away by the vivid and vast world.
An original idea made even stronger by the characters that inhabit this fascinating, perfectly written world.
The main character, Rin, is compelling and someone you can really root for.
Rin’s mysterious past, that even she can’t fully recall, acts a cryptic and captivating driving force from the outset. Pushing Rin ever deeper into the mire of half-truths, and ever onwards into adventure.
The brilliantly realised and authentic characters felt so real. Ieuan, Lark, Marta, Ivor, Gibb. Even the phenomenally arch antagonist were so real and enthralling.
With the shadow of the Generation Project looming large over the entire story, I can’t wait to see where the series goes next.”
Ben Oliver, author of The Loop trilogy
“The Generation Archives is a riveting dystopian delight, that will keep you gripped beyond the last page.”
G. T. Jones, author of The Beast Trials: Meadow’s Beginning

‘Each step of the story is conveyed with an excellent set of characters deftly drawn. I feel like I’ve seen Penny, Dove and Periwinkle drinking in my local pub! The narrative is engrossing and the finale a satisfying conclusion. I’m very much looking forward to the next novel to reveal further exploits of Penny and co.’ – Mark Hadlett
‘An original and intriguing plotline with fascinating characters having you wanting more of Penny, Dove and Periwinkle.’ – D. Hudson
‘Excellent read. An elaborate plot that kept me guessing to the end.’ – Annie Milner
“This series of passionate love letters punctuated by war diary entries is masterfully curated by the author. It offers up a rare, privileged and immensely personal insight into the lives of a newly married couple torn apart by war. This book is powerful, emotional and sensual.” – Dr. Kate Vigurs, Historian and Author of Mission France
“’Body Overboard’. The Caribbean, strapped between two covers. A travelogue of the island of Barbados, its food, its waters and its laid-back people. So lovely, who would want to commit a murder?
That’s what DCI McFarlane has to work out. If you like a story that takes you from the English countryside to the otherside of the Atlantic, taking in a visit to the Channel Islands enroute, then this one is for you. Strong characters and a good storyline flowing through all the locations, to a final court-room conclusion.”
“The storyline of a traditional ‘whodunnit’ with the twists and tribulations of an overseas justice system made this book a great read.”
“Well written, easy to read and a book you can’t put down.”
“Russell’s experience as a detective made the book more realistic and the reader felt secure that the author knew what he was talking about making the fiction reality.”
