Steven reads ‘Reacher Said Nothing’

Latest release of Steven’s work on audiobooks.

Reacher Said Nothing – written by Andy Martin

Publisher’s Summary

WARNING: CONTAINS SPOILERS.

On September 1, 1994, Lee Child went out to buy the paper to start writing his first novel – in pencil. The result was Killing Floor, which introduced his hero Jack Reacher. Twenty years later, on September 1, 2014, he began writing Make Me, the 20th novel in his number-one best-selling Reacher series. Same day, same writer, same hero.

The difference, this time, was that he had someone looking over his shoulder. Andy Martin, uber Reacher fan, Cambridge academic, expert on existentialism and dedicated surfer, sat behind Lee Child in his office and watched him as he wrote. While Lee was writing his Reacher book, Andy was writing about the making of Make Me.

Reacher Said Nothing is a book about a guy writing a book. An instant metabook. It crosses genres by bringing a high-level critical approach to a popular text and gives a fascinating insight into the art of writing a thriller, showing the process in real time. It may well be the first of its kind.

[Spoiler alert: if you haven’t read Make Me yet, this book contains spoilers.]

Joe Abercrombie – Blog Post – latest novel

————————————-
Joe Abercrombie, author, reports in his blog that a new book, Sharp Ends, should be ready for publication in the UK and US in April 2016. Fans loved Steven Pacey’s renditions of Joe’s First Law series, and Joe would very much like Steven to read the new series. Watch this space!

I’ve finished the last short story for my collection, Sharp Ends (you’ll find further details including the table of contents in the post below this one) so apart from compiling and giving them a final edit it’s pretty much ready for publication in the UK and US in April next year in hardcover and e-book and with an audiobook read (I very much hope) by Steven Pacey. I expect it will be available in some other languages not too long afterward but I’ve got no solid information on that yet. Cover art is well underway and I’ll probably have something to show in the next couple of months, but for the time being let’s just say that it will be a development of the parchment theme and feature a map of the entire Circle of the World…

Shortlist of reviews compiled by the RSC

http://www.rsc.org.uk/whats-on/volpone/reviews.aspx

Reviews that specifically mention Steven Pacey

“Steven Pacey as the vaunting Sir Politic Would-Be”

“…Sir and Lady Politic Would-be scenes in which the know-all Brit abroad becomes the know-all City man full of questionable schemes. Steven Pacey and Annette McLaughlin as his vain, greedy, primping wife play the pair with greedy, thoroughly enjoyable, exaggeration.”

“Sir Politic Would-Be’s ludicrous projects – given a toothsome tang by Steven Pacey”

Amateur Reviews

“Steven Pacey is a delight as Sir Politic”

Stealing People

Just released, Steven Pacey reads Robert Wilson’s crime thriller Stealing People.

London, January 2014. In the space of 32 hours, in a well-planned and highly organized operation, six billionaires’ children are taken off the streets of London in a series of slickly well-executed kidnaps.

The gang demands £25 million per hostage for “expenses” – not ransom. And when your child goes missing, you need Charles Boxer: a man with little left to lose, who’ll stop at nothing to save families suffering what he has.

The wealthy parents of the missing children know that Boxer will do more than police can – but that doesn’t mean the law will leave it to him. Intelligence agencies are all interested in the kidnaps because in each case the parents are related to people in power in the various countries involved.

Soon the investigation goes beyond the corridors of power and the boardrooms of big corporations – and to far darker corners. Even more worryingly for Boxer and his ex-wife, Mercy, it threatens to lead back to their own lives, too.

But still nobody knows what this mysterious kidnap gang ultimately want, and if they have a cause, what the hell is it?
