Author Barry Kirwan started writing whilst still at school, a weekly satirical thriller called the Adventures of Blackie the Cat for his classmates. It wasn’t until he moved to Paris that he started writing fiction again, with the Eden Paradox released in 2011. It was intended to be a one-off, but the book generated a lot of fans who demanded more, and so it went ‘epic’, a space opera of four books, he then went on to write a thriller about a spy who was also a scuba diver, and the Nadia Laksheva series.

When the Children Come is a race against time to save humanity from another species! it is a fast paced science fiction thriller filled with action, tension, conflict and lots of drama. I loved this book, the author is a fantastic storyteller, the plot was brilliant and the characters had depth to them allowing the reader to really get to know them and bond. I eagerly await the next installment from Kirwan. A definite 5 stars from me! ( )
