Fast-paced action from medieval dark fantasy similar to David Gemmell and Stan Nicholls, to military thrillers in the style of Andy McNab, Chris Ryan and Matthew Reilly.
"HAVOC hits home like a tracer round. McArdle puts one in the heart of things. Illuminating. Destroying. Owning the battle space of one of the best mil tech thrillers since Clancy." - John Birmingham
"I thoroughly enjoyed 'The Reckoning' by Keith McArdle. He writes with energy and realism. As I became immersed in his book, it soon had me feeling like I was back in my days as a Special Forces soldier. It is a great adventure with very realistic and grave undertones. The narrative is pacey and the characters are fleshed out and believable. I look forward to future works by the author." - SGT Troy Simmonds (ret.) (Australian SASR 1996-2012)
"The Reckoning is hard hitting fiction told by someone who has been there and done that. Easy to read and fast paced, this should give everyone an eye opening experience of what is possible when you have a dangerous neighbor. Keep your head on a swivel and your bags packed, who knows if Keith is telling a story or predicting the future." - WJ Lundy author of Whiskey Tango Foxtrot.
"The Reckoning is the story of an Indonesian invasion of Australia, an eventuality that isn't that hard to swallow given current relations. The characters were perfect for their roles, complex enough to be interesting, but not overly burdened with Freudian analysis. There are some excellent character moments and some great one-liners. Aussie humour shines through the narrative. I really enjoyed this, and found it hard to put down." - Greg Barron author of Rotten Gods & Savage Tide
"I have to say that this book is one of the best, most original concepts I have ever read in the action genre." - Chris Allen author of Defender & Hunter
"Keith McArdle's The Forgotten Land takes a squad of Aussie SAS troopers across the millennia from a cave in Iraq to a cold, wet, windswept Norse landscape - and from a major 21st Century conflict to Iron-Age survival. The narrative is easy to digest and hard to put down." CONTACT Air, Land & Sea Magazine
