What people are saying about Rik’s books:”I found this book sometimes dark, however, deep and engaging; a perfect mix of suspense and so much more – an exceptional read.” (Cheri Clay) http://amzn.com/1508888434″Birth of an Assassin was every bit the action thriller I knew it would be. Full of suspense and danger, it’s hard to predict what will happen next. It was a wild ride that I enjoyed until the very end. 5 stars!” (Karma) http://amzn.com/B00DIFVC3S”The Turkish Connection is an intense, emotionally driven novel focused around thieves, criminals, and undercover agents. With each page, the reader becomes more interested in each of the characters and yearns to find out what will happen next.” (Phil Bolos) http://amzn.com/1508888434″A highly descriptive scene and character setting transports you back to a Russia in times of oppression. It is a thrilling ride with lots of action and adventure!” (Sierra Klein) http://amzn.com/B00DIFVC3S”The Turkish Connection makes use of the murky, dusty, yet rich setting of 1950’s Istanbul, and does so with some eminence. The historical setting is unique, full of local detail that suggests a great deal of research. Stone is an author who understands difficulty, especially growing up in poverty. His experience clearly lends itself to the book, and the final product is exceptional, both in its quietly evocative writing and its well developed setting and character.” (Self-Publishing Review), 5 stars. http://amzn.com/1508888434″The post-war Soviet Moscow setting is perfect for the story and is used well in all ways. Both the setting and characters are rich, leaving a great deal of conjecture for the reader to expand upon themselves. The plot is complex and full of important, small details. Birth of an Assassin is a very well-crafted piece that will appeal to a varied range of readers. A satisfying historical thriller awaits.” (Self-Publishing Review), 5 stars. http://amzn.com/B00DIFVC3SYou can follow Rik on Twitter at; https://twitter.com/stone_rik, on FaceBook at; https://www.facebook.com/rik.stone2 or visit his website at: www.rik-stone.com
