Michael liked Elma C.'s review of Lonely Riders: "Unpredictable and Unrelenting This book does not play it safe and that’s what makes it so good. From doomed love to cult conspiracies to apocalyptic dimensions, Lonely Riders dares to go places most thrillers won’t. "

Michael liked Charlene L.'s review of Lonely Riders: "Apocalyptic and Intimate at Once This isn’t just a journey into another world, it’s a deep dive into what it means to be human when everything falls apart. Haunting, profound, and beautifully written."
