London underground hostage thriller by Christian terrorists is vaguely reminiscent of "Taking of the Pelham 123". My review of this book is not really a review at all but my own personal and very subjective comments about whether I liked the book; yes, no and why. Other GR readers might give it 5 stars or 1 star which is how it should be. Some GR friends write long winded NY Times type book reviews with long plot descriptions, quotations and analysis that are essentially wasted on the likes of me! I'd rather read the book itself than read all about it. Tell me, my esteemed GR friends, did you like the book or not and why and I will endeavor to do the same.
In any event, my problem with "Baptism" was the author spent too many pages setting up a quite unique, exciting and dynamic end game. Blind lead hostage negotiator, Ed Mallory, is an original fictional character that I liked very much but unfortunately, his character development could not speed up the the pace. ................Ed

Baptism by Max Kinnings is an up-to-the-minute hostage thriller, detailing the ‘high jacking’ of a London Underground train on the hottest day of the year. It’s an action thriller, face-paced, exciting and, at times, gripping. I admired what felt like a genuine attempt to do something different with the madcap terrorists plunging innocent people into terrifying jeopardy plot, and it was an easy, if somewhat two dimensional, read. The plot, although relatively thin, moves at a rapid pace with the story told over just a few hours, and I couldn’t help but be sucked in.
The hero is hostage negotiator Ed Mallory, who having been blinded by an earlier situation, uses his enhanced senses to both communicate and understand those who he comes into contact with. Mallory was an interesting character and Kinnings portrays him in an original and non-clichéd way. It was a shame that most of the other characters were pretty cardboard. This extends to the terrorists in particular, who even allowing for the fact that it’s hard for most of us understand the motivations of terrorists, their central driving force is not convincing. Like many fiction writers, Kinnings confuses mental illness/madness with straightforward badness. The terrorists’ success in executing their outrageous plan, with barely a hitch, evidenced of well systematised ‘delusions’ doesn’t sit with the explanation that they’re religious maniacs. Perhaps I’m being very nit-picky here, but I wanted the story to convince me; as it was, I couldn’t get over this central implausibility.
Still, overall it’s a good book, and the author deserves four stars for trying to do something different with a largely tired formula. There’s rumour that the book’s been optioned for a film, but unless the screenwriter adds some other plot elements, it’s likely to be a fairly predictable action adventure romp.

I first of all have to say thank you for sending me this book - I probably would have eventually found and bought it if I'd found it in my regular trawling of my local bookshops as the synopsis gives enough information for me to know it is a book I would like and in a style I would like to read before I even got inside it.
The story is on a very up-to-date theme; a terrorist cell attacking part of London, only, the cell is of Christian origin. I really like the style of writing. The story is covered from many different viewpoints but without the confusion that often follows. It is always clear what is going on, and the characters are well enough established from early on that you never feel the need to look back to check who is what relation to whom. Similarly though, we are not shown so much about each character so as to make the book predictable; rather I still didn't know who would live and who would die until the very end (and no, I won't spoil it for you either).
I like this style, similarly to how I like Val MacDermid's writing. I think it would also appeal to people who liked the series 24. If I had the time I would have happily read it cover to cover without any real breaks, it is one of those books which is very difficult to put down, always thinking just one more chapter.. In short, I shall be watching out for more works by this author :-)

I finished this in one sitting thanks to a delayed flight and the fast paced nature of Kinnings' writing and the intensity of the story. From relatively slow beginnings the story picked up rapidly as the different characters and elements came together in an intense standoff below the City of London. There isn't anything amazingly stand out about the story but the characters are well written and combine traits that you don't always see in such stories, not to mention the fact that this time it is Christian extremists rather than the usual Islamic extremists that are the terrorizing the City (a pleasant change I can tell you). Not only that they are men and women that have fought on the side of the West and have their own delusions that have twisted their minds and beliefs as a result of what they have seen and experienced (and of course they are just unstable). An excellent fast paced thriller that passes the time beautifully (particularly when stuck at an airport).

I was sent a copy of this novel through Good Read's First Reads - Thank you!! :o)
I enjoyed the book - a nice easy-to-read crime novel with a fairly simple plot line... unfortunately it didn't have spark, or oomph for me. I didn't really feel much towards the characters - Ed Mallory, despite being the 'hero' didn't evoke stir any emotion in me. I couldn't make myself feel for him and found myself not really caring whether he suceeded or not. George was the only character I felt a little empathy with, and even then I often wished I had the power to reach into the prose and wring his neck for being a drip and not having a backbone! (k, maybe I'm a little harsh... he found his spine towards the last part of the story)
Don't get me wrong, this isn't a bad book, nor is it poorly written. I just feel its a middle of the road crime novel, an easy read to relax with after a couple of heavier reads.

I discovered this entertaining debut novel at a bargain book shop in Chester, and couldn't put it down once I began reading it. Thankfully, I read it a week after visiting London. I'm sure that I'd have felt very anxious travelling on the tube if I'd finished it before my visit!
Writer Max Kinnings presents convincing and believable characters and settings, with a very filmic feel - in fact, a cinematic version is promised. All comparisons with 'The Taking of Pelham 123' end with the introduction of a very different hostage negotiator here - a blind detective who proves to be a very capable and noble hero.
I can't wait for the next installment of Mallory's story - Kinning's 'Sacrifice' is published next month.

A non-stop and well written thriller. A religious psychopath, MI5, a blind hostage negotiator and a train driver and his family in the wrong place at the wrong time all add up to an excellent, fast paced read.

I was intrigued by this at the beginning. It was an interesting concept and when it started, quite fast-paced. However, it waffles a lot after the train gets taken over by Tommy.
I ended up skimming the last half of the book simply because there was far too much waffling and unnecessary backstory. It did its job as a thriller as the concept was horrifying but there was so much additional filler that it rather spoilt the effect as the plot thickened.
Religious nuts are terrifying and this undoubtedly was a frightening story because of the inability of these zealots to listen to reason or empathize but I think it might have been more convincing as a Poseidon-esque film instead of a book.
There were some rather gory parts, the incest grossed me out, and it was overall far too political. It seemed to become fear-mongering 911 fan fiction after a while. Once all the aforementioned sex, violence and gore entered the scene, I was wondering if the story shifted from plot-based to shock-value.
To be honest, I can’t help but think books like this could potentially give nutters ideas. Also, it kind of perpetuates the media sensationalisms and fear-mongering. I wouldn’t say I recommend this and I don’t reckon I’ll read another book of this ilk again.

A 3 1/2 stars from me, first out as an e book and got many good reviews and was quite rightly taken up by a publishers, book 2 published in 2013. The first two pages introduces a character that you 'think' will be one of the main ones - not, shot and murdered in no uncertain terms, got me gripped.
Was an easy read I normally can easily switch off the 'this is a bit way off, or silly, or come off it' but a few niggles escaped my normally protected reading head - as its fiction I give a lot of leave way.
So what are my niggles - use of night goggles, snipers in the tunnel, listening devices etc lack of proper 'brainstorming'.
And Max implies in this book that our train driver is 'hard' up and on low wages living in Wimbledon as a underground train driver, only taking him a short course to learn -------- ekkkk no 12-16 weeks training and a salary of £49,673 per year after training, NOT a small salary at all.
Other than that, a good read.

The writing style was so comfortable to read.. I just couldn't put it down, and I am very thankful to have no need of using the Tube. I'd be consumed with paranoia. And that's how you know you've managed to pull off a good thriller! There was also a little gore which I usually find quite awkward to read but the author really sucks you in by the time I realised I was reading something i wasn't supposed to like i'd all but finished the book with a feeling of wanting to grin but also scurry into a cave and never come out.
The switching of scenes frustrated me, I got so hooked in each chapter I just WANTED TO KNOW WHAT WOULD HAPPEN! Then right as something was about to go down we switch to a scene at pretty much an office aaaaaaargh
BUT
really good writing style
great plot/twists
I loved it!

This book is OK if you like novels that read like a film. In fact this is a novel written by a screen writer and it shows. Quite a good story, characters not always convincing and one too many cliches for my liking.

Well, I generally like crime thrillers, so this one was pretty fun to read. It was also an interesting turn (for modern-day thrillers) of having a Christian terrorist instead of a Muslim one. The use of symbolism (baptism of fire and water) was chilling.
Kinnings moves things along quite quickly with the jumps between perspectives and places through the use of time, tracking movements of the main players in this drama throughout the day. He does start at a strange place though, somewhere probably in the middle (well, 10 hours in, if I remember correctly) before jumping back to the start of the story. I'm not quite sure what that was for, because it wasn't anything that we really needed to know at the start? Unless he wanted to start us off with a tragic death and high stakes.
The story is also particularly twisty. Every time you think there's going to be a solution, something else happens to make things worse. Yet I also spent a lot of time thinking: can people really be that deluded? At the risk of being a little spoilery, there are at least three characters who don't act like normal, rational people. Well, the terrorist, for one, because obviously there's something wrong with him to commit such a heinous crime and for no obvious reason, other than "God told me to". The second is his assistant, who just follows along and accepts everything blindly. It feels as if there must be something wrong with them; maybe they're defective? Mentally ill? A little slow? And the third one, unexpectedly, is a person so blinded by ambition and fear that he would turn to murder to save his own skin? It feels a little unbelievable... but then again it's fiction so... idk.
Overall, I enjoyed it, though there are little niggling things (as mentioned above) and also the fact that the people in Cruor Christi who knew, or had at least some forewarning, of the things to come were absolutely useless and brainless. Maybe I'm a little too rational for a story where almost every character is acting irrationally.

"Baptism" by Max Kinnings is a fast-paced thriller that plunges readers into the heart of a high-stakes hostage situation on the London Underground. With a gripping premise and adrenaline-fueled action sequences, Kinnings keeps the tension simmering from start to finish. The novel's strength lies in its intricate plot and well-drawn characters, particularly the conflicted protagonist, Tom Fox, whose moral compass is tested as he navigates the chaos unfolding around him. However, while the narrative is undeniably compelling, some aspects of the story feel overly formulaic, and certain plot twists verge on the predictable, diminishing the impact of the novel's suspense. Additionally, the dialogue occasionally comes across as stilted and lacks the authenticity needed to fully immerse readers in the unfolding crisis. Despite these shortcomings, "Baptism" remains an entertaining read for fans of the genre, offering enough thrills and twists to keep readers engaged until the dramatic conclusion.

This is a thriller/adventure about a subway train in London that is hijacked by a brother/sister team of homegrown terrorists. I was afraid that it would be a repeat of "Taking of Pelham 123", which I loved and was made into a movie, but the only similarities are that it happens in a subway and there are hijacking terrorists. If you read this novel be prepared to have to put it aside once in a while for a breather, as it gets intense and there is violence. I for one, do love intense dramas so it worked for me. The hostage negotiator, Ed Mallory, was an especially interesting character. He was blinded during a botched negotiation when he was just beginning his career, so mostly uses sound to help him work out tricky deductions.
There is a second Ed Mallory story called "Sacrifice", so I hoped there would be a series, but it looks like the second one was the last one. I intend to read "Sacrifice" at some point.

Overall a good read. It started out so intense and I had high hopes, but I found myself losing interest halfway through.
A London train is taken over by terrorists. Four hundred passengers are aboard. George is the train driver who is trying to save his family. Ed Mallory is the lead negotiator, who happens to be blind from a case many year previous.
A great terrorist story that allows us to see multiple sides; the terrorists, the hostages, and law enforcement. I liked it but found it started to waver part way through. Still a solid read though, rated it 3 out of 5.

Irgendwie hatte ich nach der Hälfte des Buches das Gefühl, dass es eigentlich keinen Grund gibt weiterzulesen. Das Motiv des Attentäters war bekannt und auch war schon klar, wie es weitergehen wird.
Dementsprechend brachte die zweite Hälfte keinerlei Überraschungen mehr.
Der Scbreibstil selbst ist gut und auch die Idee ist eigentlich spannend. Aber ich fühlte mich zu keiner Zeit vom Buch gefesselt und musste mich regelrecht zum Lesen aufraffen.

Ridiculously filmic debut, can’t wait to see who picks this one up! Disturbing, cultural crime fiction set in out very own capitol. There are few books steeped in so much personal conflict wrapped up together in a cracking plot, deplorable aggressors and a humble “anti hero”. Not since American werewolf in London has the Underground played such a pivotal character in any story for me. Nice one!
October 20, 2018
Wow! How poorly people take initiative and expect "others" to act for them until they are really pushed too far - and then they regret not acting earlier when they could really have done more good. Ed is wonderful! The whole book is very good - the plot is outrageous and different.

A great thriller with a good ending 🙌
I'm my opinion the last 50 pages were pretty rushed but still I liked how it ended ✨💥

Thriller set in London (488 pages of non-stop excitement)
A dramatic start to this thriller, followed by the murder of a monk in Snowdonia which leads to 16 hours of fast moving action.
For George it is just another ordinary, albeit hot, start to a day. All his life he has felt a failure, his dreams have come to nothing, and life, apart from his wife and children, has been a bit of a mundane disappointment to him. However today will be different, but he has no idea of this as he commences his day as an underground driver and leaves Morden station.
Tommy, unlike George, is on a high. Today, guided by God (he believes), is the day to make a difference. He, along with his sister, will perform a great deed.
Ed Mallory, Special Branch, has the role of trying to stop the deaths of over 300 people stuck on an underground train somewhere between Leicester Square and Tottenham Court Road. But can he make the right decisions to satisfy the police, the government, the military, those stuck in the tunnel and their families?
This is a fast moving book, with short chapters, and action all the time (not just cliff hangers). There is quite a bit of violence, but this is in keeping with the story, and not overly gory. Each chapter is headed by the time of day, and, apart from the first chapter/prologue, moves in chronological order. I can’t say anything more about the story, for fear of giving any of the plot away.
Most of the action takes place on the underground in London, which is depicted well. I would be surprised if anyone using the underground shortly after reading this book, is not unnerved by it. I just hope your underground train does not stop between Leicester Sq. and Tottenham Court Rd! Action takes place in Snowdonia at the beginning of the book, but gives almost no information about the area for visitors.
I was riveted to this book from page one, right to the end. It is great to read a book where the action continues right to the penultimate page, no long winded explanations to the reader by a detective here! I loved the fast paced action, and having commuted on the London Underground for many years was right there with those people in the tunnel.
I thoroughly recommend this book if you enjoy a true thriller, and are ok with the views of a religious psychopath!
