Barely a year after publishing his debut novel "The Primary Objective", Martin Venning has released his second thriller, "The End of the Road".

"With my second published book, I am starting to feel like an author", explained Martin.

"Although the subject of this second book is completely unrelated to the first, I hope it shows my writing style has developed over the past few months. At the time of writing I didn`t realise just how many books used the same title, but at least the plot is unique and guaranteed to keep the reader entertained".

In this fast paced debut novel author Martin Venning reveals a web of intrigue on the Iran Azerbaijani border.
In an ever changing landscape we read how Iranian, Chinese and British interests face up to each other to close down a chemical weapons facility.

Venning writes a great story and this novel is highly recommended.

by Nigel Grizzard

This was an unexpected pleasure a well written, thoughtful and well informed geo-political thriller about a myserteous charity, Peace International and their attempts to thwart and being to public attention a new chemical and biological weapons research and production centre that is being built with Chinese support in a remote part of Iran.

The action is non-stop and the characters well drawn and depicted. There is much about the internal politics of Iran and how they circumvent global sanctions.

The book is long and sometimeS it is hard to remember exactly who is who but the attention span required is rewarded by a lush and satisfying read.

by NetGalley review

There are so many facets to this book and some of them hit uncomfortably closely to truths we perhaps don’t want to acknowledge. The writing style is tight - it’s a long book but no word is wasted. Perhaps some of the characters could have been fleshed out a bit more so their motivations could be better understood, but that is a very minor criticism. This is a book which will appeal to fans of thrillers, political “fiction” and international intrigue.

A great read, well researched and full of intrigue, adventure and political mischief in a beautiful but tragic part of today’s world

by Clinton

This was a tightly written book with an absorbing plot. It was full of detail with interesting characters who all had a role to play in the story. The descriptions of the terrain were very vivid.
It was easy to follow even though there were multiple characters in different locations. I really wanted to know what happened next. It also brought the various plot strands together in a satisfactory and realistic conclusion. If you are looking for a more intellectual read this should suit you.
