Curse the Day

Judith O’Reilly, a veteran former journalist, delivers Tarantino-esque carnage from the get-go… Curse the Day is a rip-roaring road trip into the dark heart of a corrupt, cynical British establishment’ * Financial Times *O’Reilly has delivered a fast-paced and action-packed thriller that will have been * Shots eZine *Packed with no-holds-barred action and memorable characters. It’s a blast! – James SwallowJudith O’Reilly is a masterful storyteller. In Curse the Day she’s woven a slick, fast-paced thriller brimming with compelling characters. Do yourself a favour and buy this book! – LJ RossRelentlessly plotted with a blistering pace, Curse the Day is a sharply drawn, gleefully witty conspiracy thriller. Tackling tomorrow’s nightmare today, this is a superb novel – MW CravenA brilliant technothriller that reads like a Bond movie, complete with terrific action sequences, memorable characters, and the fate of the world at stake. But one that also touches on a genuine reason for all of us to worry about the intelligent tech we’re letting into our lives. I could not put this book down, from the opening that completely reverses all expectations to the cracking climax. The pace never lets up and the story stays with you long after the final page. Highly recommended – Zoë Sharp, author of the Charlie Fox seriesA constantly surprising, heart-felt, desperately exciting super-thriller – and a truly standout action-adventure novel… Left me both smiling and breathless’ – Rob ParkerThe action adventure genre is a ‘male-dominated’ world but a female author is taking the fight to the grandmasters of escapist fiction * Yorkshire Evening Post *An out-and-out thriller with a hint of science fiction in that it centres round an AI (Artificial Intelligence). I enjoy a good thriller and this one hit the mark – difficult to put down * Concatenation *
