— JFK Løvlien

John Martin was not happy.

Seventy. Norwegian. Trillionaire. Chablis at breakfast in a glass mansion above the Oslo fjord. Lucky Strike between his teeth. Bored. He flies to Amsterdam to chase an old flame and smoke something called Synthetic Black Snake Mamba.

He wakes up tied to a barstool. Two starved Pit Bulls circling him, LSD coming on hard. A voice in the dark wants to know where the Nexus is.

What John does to those dogs with a bottle of Lagavulin, a Ronson lighter, and a full bladder, you will have to read for yourself. Just know that he climbs out of a bar window with the Pit Bulls still burning, runs into a forest in the rain, and meets a tall black woman holding a red balloon. She does not speak. She leads him to a well that should not be there, down a tunnel that does not obey the rules of distance, and out into a train station in Amsterdam. Tell me you have read a thriller that opens like this.

A hitman called The Brander is hunting him. A Swedish farm boy who learned to love the smell of burning flesh and now injects frozen poison through a calling-card brand on the necks of his targets. He nearly takes John's eye in room 666 of the Hotel Okura. Months later he climbs through John's bedroom window in Oslo. What John does to him in the Cabin's eight-meter industrial grill is what he does. He mails the ashes to the man who hired him. The note: I am afraid I grilled him a bit too hard.

His daughter Lela walks alone into a Bilderberg ceremony at Maison de Maître wearing her father's old snake-eats-its-tail ring. From a railing above an underground chapel hung with stolen Goyas and Picassos, she watches ten masked people carve the planet up like a Monopoly board. She shoots her way out.

His son Leif drives a candy-red Tesla through a blizzard to a private resort owned by a redhead named Elisabeth Warden. She has spent her life hunting the lost diary of Francis Barret. She bought it from the Paris bookstore where Jim Morrison read it in 1971. She wants Leif's blood. She has a chalk circle, three silver chalices, bat blood laced with Covid, and Latin older than the Reich. She summons the demon. He comes through the portal as a green hand grasping a golden crown. He calls himself Jim. Architect of the Red Pyramid under Pharaoh Sneferu. Reborn as the Count of Saint-Germain. The man who broke Casanova in 1774 Venice. The voice in the head of a young American boy who grew up to stand on a stage and scream The End.

A Brazilian CIA agent births a virus-demon in his skull in a Helsinki lab. A two-hundred-year-old shaman called The Magus binds its soul into a red diamond John will wear for the rest of his life. The wedding is in Jamaica. Yo-Yo Ma plays Cello Suite No. 1. A bullet hits the Ronson lighter in John's pocket and ricochets sideways. Someone close to him dies in his place. Then John Martin does what John Martin does. A starved Pitbull named Leroy. A frozen human head over the Atlantic. An English prime minister handing over his fifteen-year-old daughter at gunpoint.

And then John walks into his garden in June, kneels in front of his new wife, and reminds her exactly who he is.

Real figures in the shadows: Jim Morrison. Casanova. Hemingway. Francis Barret. Aleister Crowley. The Count of Saint-Germain. Sneferu. Margaret Thatcher. Henry Kissinger. David Rockefeller. Yo-Yo Ma. The Bilderberg Group.

For readers of Wilbur Smith, Ian Fleming, Robert Anton Wilson, Ken Follett, and Hunter S. Thompson.

Power. Blood. Desire. The deep state isn't a theory. It's a bloodline.

Read in publication order — Feeder, Alien AI, Goldblood, Luxe Rage.

Don't want to say too much because the surprises are half the fun. What I will say is this — if you think you know where the story is going, you don't. John Martin is one of those characters that gets under your skin. He's ruthless and calculating but there's something underneath all of that which keeps you on his side. The pacing is spot on. Slow burn when it needs to be, then absolute chaos. I read it once quickly and then went back through it slower to pick up on things I missed. That's the mark of a good book for me. Shipping was fast, about ten days to the UK.

I picked this up partly because the author is Norwegian which I thought was cool. The book is entertaining and moves quickly. John Martin is a strong central character and Lene Hagen being a Norwegian spy was a nice surprise — felt personal somehow. The action scenes are well written and the Amazon setting is vivid. Where I struggled a bit was with the luxury lifestyle descriptions — designer brands, expensive cars, champagne at every turn. I understand it's part of the Luxe Noir style but it's not for everyone. Still a fun read though and I can see why people love the series.

I read a lot of thrillers. Silva, Baldacci, Child — the usual rotation. The Feeder caught me off guard because it doesn't follow the formula. There's no detective solving a case or ex-military guy saving the day. It's this billionaire dynasty wrapped up in assassination plots and jungle warfare and it's raw in a way those other guys don't go. The violence is graphic but never gratuitous — it serves the story. The writing gets lean and fast when the action starts, almost like the sentences are sprinting. Really cool technique. Already told three friends to buy it.

Started reading this on holiday and my husband picked it up while I was at the pool. He finished it before me. That tells you something. It's fast, it's dark, and John Martin is the kind of character you know you shouldn't like but absolutely do. Joanna is fantastic — tough, smart, beautiful, and genuinely dangerous. The story moves between locations at speed and somehow keeps everything tight. Only reason it's not five stars is I wanted a bit more backstory on some of the secondary characters. But apparently Goldblood covers the origin story so that's next on my list.

Was browsing for something new to read on a rainy Sunday and the cover caught my eye. Best impulse buy in a long time. John Martin is this impossibly wealthy, morally grey powerhouse who runs a global empire while dodging assassins and secret cabals. The Amazon jungle sequences are insane — you can almost smell the humidity. What I didn't expect was how well the author handles tension. There are quiet moments that are just as gripping as the gunfights. Finished it in two sittings. Paperback is a nice quality too. Arrived in about 12 days to the Netherlands.

I enjoyed The Feeder but I have to be honest — some parts felt excessive. The violence and the brand name dropping got a bit much for me in places. That said, the plot kept me reading, and John Martin is a compelling character. The Norwegian spy angle was really interesting. The pacing is good, especially in the second half when everything kicks off. It's not subtle literature but it's not trying to be. Four stars, only because it's solid entertainment but not quite my style.

Don't let the simple writing style fool you. This bloke knows exactly what he's doing. The sentences are clean and direct, no faffing about, and when the action kicks in the pages fly. John Martin is a proper antihero — wealthy beyond imagination but carrying some seriously dark baggage. The Amazon jungle scenes are vivid. You can feel the heat and the danger. I knocked off one star because a couple of the side characters could have been fleshed out more, but the main cast is strong. Paperback quality is good, arrived quick to Sydney. Will grab the next one.

I don't usually read thrillers written by men but a friend told me the female characters in this series were actually well written. She was right. Joanna Martin is incredible — a former militia fighter from the Amazon who becomes one of the most powerful women in the world. And she's not just arm candy, she runs operations globally. Lela is also brilliant. The books don't shy away from tough content but the women aren't victims, they're forces. Bought both paperbacks, arrived in about 12 days to Canada. Really well made.

Read all three back to back over Christmas. Couldn't put them down. The Feeder sets everything up — assassins, cabals, the Amazon — then Alien AI goes completely sideways with the alien stuff and Marion Martin becoming this hybrid powerhouse. Then Goldblood takes you back to the 70s and shows you how it all started. Each book is different but the Martin family ties everything together. Lela Martin is awesome — Navy SEAL trained, runs diamond mines, handles covert ops. Cool as hell. Shipping to Australia was about two weeks, no issues. Highly recommend.

Started with The Feeder because someone recommended it on a forum. Finished it in three days. Then bought Alien AI and Goldblood straight away. John Martin is one of those characters that just stays with you — ruthless but you can't help rooting for the guy. The world JFK has built here is massive. You've got the Amazon, Nazi Germany, Area 51, Greek islands — and somehow it all connects. Joanna is an awesome character too. Shipping to the UK took about 10 days which was quicker than I expected. Already waiting for the next one.
