Publisher's Summary
A Goodreads Choice Award finalist.
“I enjoyed the hell out of One Word Kill. Mark is an excellent writer.” - George R.R. Martin
In January 1986, fifteen-year-old boy-genius Nick Hayes discovers he’s dying. And it isn’t even the strangest thing to happen to him that week.
Nick and his Dungeons & Dragons-playing friends are used to living in their imaginations. But when a new girl, Mia, joins the group and reality becomes weirder than the fantasy world they visit in their weekly games, none of them are prepared for what comes next. A strange - yet curiously familiar - man is following Nick, with abilities that just shouldn’t exist. And this man bears a cryptic message: Mia’s in grave danger, though she doesn’t know it yet. She needs Nick’s help - now.
He finds himself in a race against time to unravel an impossible mystery and save the girl. And all that stands in his way is a probably terminal disease, a knife-wielding maniac and the laws of physics.
Challenge accepted.
Ready Player One meets Stranger Things in this new novel by bestselling author Mark Lawrence.

Instantly engaging
I loved the way Mark incorporates a taboo topic and 'nerdy' topic into a worthy story. The time travelling aspect was cool and well explained. Enjoyed every minute!

Dull
I have so much enjoyed Mark Lawrence’s other books that I was quite excited to see this new series. But it’s hard to believe it’s the same author, so mediocre is it. To begin with, I wondered if it were the narrator. He speaks very clearly and does some accents well enough, but he has a sing song narration style that didn’t appeal to me at all. However as the story went on I decided it isn’t only the narrator, it is the story and characters. Time travel is always difficult and this attempt didn’t work for me. Huge disappointment all round - and don’t believe those who say that the second in the series is better. Being such a fan of his other books, I purchased both at the same time and I gave the second book a listen as well. It doesn’t improve. I can thoroughly recommend his other books though.
