Praise for RIVAL SONS:
A really strong story with great characters. Brilliant stuff. Aidan Thorn is at the forefront of the new wave of British noir. Chris Black, Senior Editor at Fahrenheit 13
Rival Sons is a nuanced, multi-layered homecoming tale that packs a real kick-in-the-teeth. Powerful stuff. Tess Makovesky, author of Gravy Train and Raise the Blade
Rival Sons is a story about evil overtaking good, how one brother can corrupt the other, and how the lineage passed to us can be more corrupt than any jailhouse snitch. In this blast of a novella, Aidan Thorn deliversthese characters know rivalry and vengeance, guts and glory, failure and worse-than-failure. They also know love and courage (well, some of them do). And like every great noir story, Rival Sons is about a few bad men eating the bullets they so deserve. Matt Phillips, author of Know Me from Smoke and The Bad Kind of Lucky
