Peter Bailey (4)Critiques

Walk in the Flesh by Peter Bailey

In a terrorist attack Neil's wife is killed. He gets a chance at revenge when England turns him into a cyborg assassin. But they didn't realize what a monster they created. Neil kills without mercy, he is sloppy not caring what trails he leaves behind. He is a homicidal psychopath on a very serious mission. Soon his team of top secret creators will be tested, but what will the outcome be?

An action-filled complex story. The characters are well developed. The story is detailed and easy to follow, the plot is original and thrilling, with a lot of intense moments. I liked how the story crossed countries, and the vivid details, gave a good feel of what is going on.

Sci-fi is not my usual genre, but I did enjoy Walk in the Flesh and feel those who love this genre will enjoy it as well. The cover is very eye catching and fits the story well.

A classic thriller

A classic thriller combined geniously with sci-fi. I enjoyed the story, as it was disturbing, yet very interesting. I couldn't put it down. This is the first book I've read of Bailey's, and his writing kept me captivated. It's perfectly creepy and disturbing, qualities I love in a great thriller. There was something deep, internally and probably eternally angry about Neil, and it was one of his most calming qualities. A definite heart-pounding thriller. "...Samuel slathered ten antibacterial alcohol gel all over his hands and wrists. Touching whatever body Neil was wearing felt unclean, like touching a fly-blown corpse that had been in the sun for a week.. What Neil was doing was just inhuman." Totally inescapable!
