Why read it?

1 author picked Fell of Dark as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?

I love a “Man on the Run” book. Books like The 39 Steps, Odd Man Out, and The Running Man are stories I truly love. There's something exciting about a chase book because the hero has to be resourceful and resilient, and that’s what we have here.

From Simon's list on out-of-their-depth heroes.
