Decent Fellows Press presents Where Death Meets the Devil, book one in the stunning, original Death and the Devil M/M thriller series.

Jack Reardon, former SAS soldier and current Australian Meta-State asset, has seen some messy battles. But messy takes on a whole new meaning when he finds himself tied to a chair in a torture shack, his cover blown wide open, all thanks to notorious killer-for-hire Ethan Blade.

Blade is everything Jack doesn't believe in: remorseless, detached, lawless. Yet, Jack's only chance to survive is to strike a bargain with the devil and join forces with Blade. As they trek across a hostile desert, Jack learns that Blade is much more than a dead-eyed killer, and harder to resist than he should be.

A year later, Jack is home and finally getting his life on track. Then Ethan Blade reappears and throws it all into chaos once more. It's impossible to trust the assassin, especially when his presence casts doubts on Jack's loyalty to his country, but Jack cannot ignore what Blade's return means: The mess that brought them together is far from over, and Ethan might just bring back the piece of Jack's soul he thought he'd lost forever.

The only thing that would have made this better would have been them heading to Minto instead of Ingleburn and having him pronounce it Minno.

Loved every single chapter, I was on the edge of my seat. I will definitely be looking for other books from this author now. Also love the Matthew Reilly references lol I am also a fan.

Engaging and enthralling

I read this years ago when it came out and rated it 5/5. It's well written, has a lot of angst, betrayal and political intrigue. Great read.

What a great start to a series. I was invested from the start. I am very happy that this has an Australian context and is read with a local accent. It just makes the whole thing mean more for us who live down in this part of the world. Ethan and Jack are great characters and the secondary characters are also great fun. The story is not too far fetched, with no-one being superhuman, which makes a change.
Rowan Scott performance is great with a lot of subtle voice changes for each of the characters, and with a great sense of the humour in the situations as well.
Looking forward to the next one(s) - a series of shorts I think before the next full novel

Great Aussie Tale
