I read this book in one night and am already interested in reading more from Mr. Hill. His writing is smooth and natural, always moving forward (very little back story and only when necessary), and he packs an emotional punch in almost every scene…too many to mention, but my favorites were when Bill was recovering from the scorpion stings and what Fatima did, the story of Dell losing his brother, and when Loretta’s kids were being held hostage with her. There was some powerful writing that deliv...more
"Death’s Door” by Dannie Hill is an east-meets-west thriller in which the main characters, Bill and Dell, enter a dark and dangerous world as they try and stop a terrorist attack. The story moves from the US, to the Middle East, and back again, and we are shown an impressively accurate portrait of the two contrasting worlds. I liked that the author resisted falling into overplayed stereotypes, and instead treated all of the characters like human beings. Even though there was plenty of action and...more
Wow, what an amazing story! This is the first book I’ve read by Dannie Hill but I am sure it won’t be the last. Some people just know how to write and Mr. Hill is one of them. This book was excellent, not just for a self/indie pubbed book, but for any book. The prose was vivid, strong, and pulled me into the story right from the beginning. The author did a wonderful job of “showing” us the world he created, instead of just ‘telling’ to us. I felt like I was a part of the action from the get go,...more
I won’t recap the plot (you can read that in the description), just know that it doesn’t do this novel justice! There is so much that happens, and it is told is such a way that you won’t want to stop reading until the story is over. There is action, a terrorist plot, sex and romance, danger, a trip to the Middle East, and so on. But what I think was the best was the way that the different plots managed to mesh together and create an unputdownable story. I thought the middle dragged a bit compare...more
Well-written and with a complex, multilayered and compelling plot, “Death’s Door” By Dannie Hill is one of the finer books I’ve read this year. I could see this book sitting in a bookstore beside Tom Clancy or David Balducci and holding its own quite nicely. The plot unfolded at an even tempo, culminating in a breathtaking, heart pounding climax that had me reading the last 1/3 or so of the book as fast as I could. I didn’t want to stop, but I was happy with the ending. I generally try and point...more
Fast paced, current, fun.
Dannie Hill has done it again! Written a book that is full of action, humor, and a good story. There is just something about his writing that really appeals. Don't let the fact that it is easy to read fool you into thinking that it is a simple story. Lots of intrigue, current events and enough twists and turns to maintain interest right to the end. The action gets intense but there are lots of laugh-out-loud moments combined with everyday narrative, suspense, surprises,...more

This my fourth published book and I really loved writing it. Please see what others say about Death's Door in the reviews. If you enjoy a good exciting story that is more than your average thriller, then this is the book for you.

I love this book! It was like watching a movie in my head. I find myself reading Dannie Hill's books as fast as I can, but not wanting them to finish. Then missing the characters so much! Can't wait for the next book!
Death's Door by Dannie Hill is a thriller that reminds me of Nelson Demille's easy style of writing. The visual canvas he paints is impressive. There's travel, intrigue, and even romance thrown in for good measure. That I was surprised by Mr. Hill's skillfull hand at a genre which is almost the opposite of the last book of his I read (In Search of a Soul) would be an understatement.

This one sucked me in from the beginning.
The characters are all good, but the leading character is better than good.
The author's voice is strong, and the plot is twisted enough to keep you involved.
His descriptions of the desert and its people is particularly well done.
I'd recommend it for a good escape.
