YOU’LL NEVER KNOW MY NAME.
BUT YOU WON’T FORGET MY NUMBER.
Behind the events you know are the killers you don’t.
When diplomacy fails, we’re the ones who gear up.
Officially we don’t exist, but every government in the world uses our services.
We’ve been saving the world, and your ass, for 100 years.
Seventeen people have done this job before me.
I am 18. The most feared assassin in the world.
But to be the best you must beat the best.
My next target is 17, just as one day 19 will hunt me down.
It’s a dog-eat-dog world and it gets lonely at the top.
Nobody gets to stay for long.
But while we’re here, all that matters is that we win.
Visceral, cinematic and insanely addictive, EIGHTEEN will keep you on the edge of your seat and live long in the memory. Until NINETEEN comes along …

Reviews
... the action is breathless and almost every single, short chapter ends with a cliff-hanger, and twists continuously pepper the narrative ... if ever a series is to emulate the James Bond one, Brownlow's ultra-propulsive prose, plots and characters could well be the one
Fresh and entertaining . . . it is no surprise it has been snapped up by Hollywood
The book takes off like a rocket . . . Brownlow is an accomplished screenwriter, and it shows
The pace never falters a single inch in this high octane, breathless thriller. Lean, mean and thoroughly enjoyable
Praise for AGENT SEVENTEEN -
Praise for ASSASSIN EIGHTEEN -
AGENT SEVENTEEN reinvents the hitman novel. It's a cinematic rollercoaster, full of authentic emotion and high-octane action. The tension explodes off the pages; John Brownlow is a master of suspense
ASSASSIN EIGHTEEN ... brings a profane wit and some emotional heft to the world of high-end international assassins. ... The sharp self-awareness, persistent humour and vivid characters help this enjoyable, lively novel stand out from the crowd.
ASSASSIN EIGHTEEN is a speeding bullet of a novel. It never lets up and never lets you go once you're in its grip. Highly explosive and bloody fun!
Exquisite writing... the dialogue is pitch perfect... a book club title that is different from the usual - grittier and very powerful
Keeps you on the edge of your seat and guessing with every turn of the page. A fantastic and thrilling new entry into the modern-day spy genre
This high-velocity thriller seems destined for the big screen... thanks to British-Canadian screenwriter-turned-novelist John Brownlow's vivid imagery, ultra-detailed action sequences and elaborate plotting.
This is a fresh adrenaline-charged, and snarkily funny spy thriller with an explosive climax
This is probably the most action-packed spy thriller that fans of the genre will read this year, with short busy chapters where conspiracies unfold at the rate of a particularly sharp shooting pistol dispensing bullets
A gripping debut thriller from a British-Canadian screenwriter and it keeps readers on the edge of their seats through a roller-coaster ride of high-octane action that builds to an explosive finale
A slick, clever, edge-of-the-seat thriller
