Hi, I'm Emily and this is a video testimonial about Mark O'Neill's latest book Shadowline.

I absolutely love the book. I usually don't read spy thrillers, especially ones from Europe. Romance is usually my thing or also fantasy. But I heard really good things from my boyfriend about Mark's books, so I thought what the hell, let's give it a try.

I love that Mark's books have a strong female character in charge. It's very refreshing not to have men dominating a book for once, and the action is nonstop. The dialogue is sometimes very funny, and Mark's characters are very well developed. I was really impressed. I'm now binge reading the Department 89 series and I am completely hooked.

Well, that's about it. Read Mark's books, especially Shadowline. Katerina Voss is now my favorite fiction character. She really kicks ass.

Books mentioned:Reviews Shadowline.

Hello, I am Niklas. I would like to say in this video what I think about Mark O'Neill's books.

I really like Mark's books. He has very interesting plots and characters which make it difficult to put down the tablet.

A lot of his books involve government corruption and the system working against you. This may sound like paranoia but it is not. Mark writes thrillers showing the government working against you, and how institutions can be brought down if the correct pressure is applied. His latest book, Shadowline, is a classic example of that.

I also really like Department 89 books a lot. Jack Maddox is interesting, but I am not liking the Ghost Sector books very much. But that is only my opinion. I'm sure many other people like those books.

That is my review. I hope my English was good enough for you to understand me.

Books mentioned:Reviews Shadowline, Department 89, and Abteilung 89.

Hi, This is just a quick video to give a big shout out to Mark O'Neill's Jack Maddox series.

Others seem not to have liked the first book, but I did. I found it different than what I've read before in the past. It's very well written, and the two sequels are just as good, if not better.

I especially like the Hollow Men because it tackles something very timely in the news today, the possibility of an armed coup in the USA.

Give the books a try, you'll love them. I'm now working my way through the Department 89 series, and I'll update you on those when I'm finished them.
