Fallen Warriors Kindle Edition
In the city of York, a young nurse dies in a tragic accident but is mysteriously brought back to life. As she attempts to find out and understand what happened, a group of ordinary people find themselves drawn together: a homeless man tormented by his past, a thief who has crossed a dangerous line, a young Muslim girl searching for answers, a detective hiding a secret, a woman who wants to remove the pastor of her church. Unknown to any of them, an Islamic group secretly plots to form a new Caliphate in the centre of England. York becomes the battle ground for the largest terrorist attack ever faced in the West. Fallen warriors are called to stand and fight, but will they stand or will they fall?
Goodreads Reviews
"I really enjoyed this novel. I felt that the author did a brilliant job in creating realistic characters in ordinary situations, but there is nothing ordinary when the extraordinary is at work. The various set ups were tricky to keep jumping between initially and concerning the characters it took a while to like them and wanting to see what happened to them but the themes were so compelling that you wanted to know just how things were going to plan out. I found the best part of the novel and a little unsettling was the way the Priest had to discipline a church member. Uncomfortable because of how often you see church members work like this or hear about it but I thought the author was utterly brilliant at explaining the situation from a different angle. I now need to know what happens next...." Louisa Black
"Superb Thriller, bringing together the possibilities of what could happen in our country today. Introducing the characters in a unexpected and gripping way which makes you want to know more about them and how they fit into the story. The very real threat of terrorism in our lives today is balanced with the Christian faith and how empowering it is. Once you start to read you are kept in suspense as to what is going to happen next in the lives of the diverse and interesting individuals.
This book is compulsive reading and as the plot opens up I couldn't lay it down. One of the best Christian thrillers I have read." Norma
For fans of Frank Peretti or Michael Connelly's Harry Bosch.

About the author

Mark Anderson Smith is a Scottish author who has also lived and worked in York, England and in Tajikistan in Central Asia. Married with three children, he works as an IT Consultant and Business Analyst, though aims one day to be able to write full time.
He is the author of two novels including the Christian thriller: Fallen Warriors. He has also written and published an autobiography: Double Your Salary …without losing your soul! to share what he has learned while building a career and encourage others to lift themselves out of poverty. During the Covid pandemic he wrote two prayer and bible study guides under the series 31 Days of Prayer.
Mark is passionate about goals, having seen what a dramatic effect it can have when goals are set that build on each other. In 2009 he accepted a challenge to write down 100 goals. His thirty first goal was the inspiration for his company: Goal 31 Ltd, and in many ways for the 31 Days of Prayer series: “To be and do all that God wants of me.”

- Reviewed in the United States on March 2, 2019Most contemporary Christian fiction I've read has been underwhelming. But I thoroughly enjoyed this novel. The characters were varied and believable, the plot was engaging and realistic (within the genre of Christian fiction), and the writing was top-notch. I'm looking forward to more from this author.
- Reviewed in the United States on July 7, 2020I loved every minute of this story and am looking forward to Book 2
- Reviewed in the United States on May 23, 2017Really good mix of spiritual and everyday life. Complementary story lines that give a good perspective on the different groups of people. Looking forward to the next one.
- Reviewed in the United States on July 12, 2017My policy is to review every book I finish but to abandon any book I'm not enjoying. That means I seldom write negative reviews--if I'm not enjoying the book I usually abandon it before I have read enough to write a review.
I was enjoying this book up until the end. I was so engrossed in it I told a friend about it and commented that it would surely be a 5-star review. The plot is complex but compelling; the characters are many and diverse; the faith element is powerful but not forced. I like everything about it--until it ends in a cliffhanger.
Spoiler: The story stops in the middle of a terrorist attack. No warning--it just stops. I hate cliffhangers; I feel totally cheated by the author. I have invested hours and emotions in this story, then I don't find out what happens. I believe a book has a beginning, a middle, and an end--a conclusion. There is no conclusion here.
If you are one of those readers who love cliffhangers, this book is for you. If, on the other hand, you are like me and find cliffhangers offensive, this one won't appeal to you.
I received a copy of the book from the author, but I voluntarily wrote the review, which expresses my honest opinion.

5.0 out of 5 stars Hard to put down!
I couldn't put this book down. It begins fast paced introducing a lot of characters. I quickly got into the different characters lives, wondering how they were going to be brought together later in the story. This book is a good, easy read, leaving me with a slight sense of fear as this story could so easily be reality.

5.0 out of 5 stars A great read
Mark has given us a book to challenge some of our concepts and stir your thoughts, not often the case in Christian books. Here is a good clean thriller with out overstated or unnecessary violence. For a story demonstrating the power of prayer plus salvation then this is for you.

2.0 out of 5 stars Can you cope with jumping around lots of characters and their stories?
Seems a good story but I got lost with so many characters

4.0 out of 5 stars Page turner
Initially I found this book confusing. I am the sort of person who hates a TV programme which jumps around from one person to the next. However, I found that I could not stop reading this book on my Kindle.
As the characters emerged, I found myself making judgements about them only for those decisions to be challenged later in the book. I wasn’t sure who I supported and it did change as I progressed. This was not a simple story of heroes and villains.
As someone who has lived in York for almost 35 years, it was good to have a feeling for the place, and even to discover some things that I did not know existed! The idea of setting it in York was inspired. It is not the sort of place usually associated with this kind of story.
There were enough tense moments in the narrative to keep me reading, with other times to catch my breath. The ending moved particularly quickly.
I am eagerly awaiting the sequel.
