Next week, I’ll reveal the cover of my new novel, The Deserter. Until then, I thought you might want to know what people are saying about it… These are smart people, excellent writers, and people who don’t tolerate poor story-telling. If you are unaware of their work, check them out.
“The Deserter evokes classic blood-and-sand adventures like Under Two Flags and Beau Geste. With meticulous research and compelling characters, Turmel has brought the desert saga back to thrilling life.” Frank Thompson- author of The Compleat Beau Geste
“The Deserter evokes classic blood-and-sand adventures like Under Two Flags and Beau Geste. With meticulous research and compelling characters, Turmel has brought the desert saga back to thrilling life.” Cam Torres, author of the Tyler Zahn thrillers
“The Deserter is a great read from beginning to end. Rousing adventure, multifaceted characters, and the near mythical setting of life in the French Foreign Legion add up to a thrilling page turner. If you haven’t read Wayne Turmel’s work, you’re missing out. – Thom Reese, author of the HUNTINGTON ADVENTURES series.
“The Deserter is a thrilling tale of desert adventure in the classic tradition of Beau Geste and the Flawed Blades novels of P.C. Wren. Enlisting in the French Foreign Legion seems like the answer to Gil’s prayers, but he soon learns that safety is a mirage.” Jill Hand, author of the Trapnell thrillers, White Oaks, Black Willows and Red Pines
“I love historical novels, and the best of them meet three requirements. They must be good novels with believable characters and a protagonist I can get inside the head of. They must be historically accurate in small details. And, ideally, they tie to an actual historical event. The Deserter meets all those requirements.” Wally Bock, The Well-Read Author Newsletter
“A two-fisted historical adventure that weaves visceral action, rugged landscapes, and raw emotional depth into a haunting tale of honor, betrayal, and the elusive hope of redemption.” — David Buzan, bestselling author of IN THE LAIR OF LEGENDS
