The intersection of man and machine in fiction is hardly new, but Steve Griffiths makes it feel urgent and alive. Rather than turning his debut into a puzzle-box about technology, he uses the premise to drive an all-too-human story—fast, visceral, and relentlessly tense.
At over 300 pages, Kill Sequence never drags. Griffiths knows when to let the action breathe and when to tighten the screws, using pauses not as filler but as staging grounds for the next escalation. His prose is lean and propulsive, balancing vivid description with razor-sharp dialogue in a style that calls to mind both Robert Ludlum’s global intrigue and Lee Child’s stripped-down immediacy.
From the opening plunge into its world, Griffiths parcels out information with precision—enough to keep readers grounded, never so much that the tension slackens. We run alongside his protagonist, breathless, as clues click into place just in time for the next twist to detonate. The result is a debut that is cinematic, tightly engineered, and built for speed.
