Waterkill Continues to Receive Excellent Reviews

After 34 reviews on Amazon, Waterkill has an excellent ranking of 4.6 stars. See Waterkill on Amazon here. In addition, all but one of the reviews have been very positive. For some reason one reviewer seemed to have an ax to grind with the book. But oh well, to each his/her own.

The reviews and rankings have also been similarly as good on Goodreads.com and Barnes and Noble, with 4.47 and 5.0 rankings on 19 votes and 4 votes, respectively. Below is a typical review.

Book Review (5 Stars): "This is a heart pounding thriller that you don’t want to miss," says Pretty Little Book Reviews. "Everything in this book is uThis book is a masterful combination of scifi,political thriller and action-adventure that creates a whole new genre. The story is well researched and has some terrific insights into the culture and motivations of some of the terrorists mindset. It also reveals how murky allegiances can be when dealing with these often highly personal motives. Excellent book." - Handydeb51 

Sales, however, have not been so robust. But at least they've been steady with some sales each day. Somehow I need to change the sales metric though. Very frustrating to have a plethora of excellent reviews, but limited sales. If anyone reading this blog post has any constructive advice, I'm all ears. 

For those of you who have been thinking about reading Waterkill, I urge you to give it a try. At $0.99 in Kindle and Nook eBook format you can't go wrong. Besides a fun read, you'll also find this technothriller enlightening. Waterkill tells a story of a very real threat to western civilization by middle eastern terrorists. More specifically the threat of religious cult terrorists introducing biological weapons of mass destruction to western cities and towns across Europe and the United States.

Mark Donovan Announces the Release of “Waterkill”

“Waterkill” Weaves Nanoscience and Cult Religious Terrorism into a Major Threat to Western Civilization

An Action Packed Cerebral Thriller that Spans Three Continents, “Waterkill” is the second book in the Dave Henson Series


Derry, New Hampshire - November 17, 2015 – Mark Donovan announced today the release of his second novel, “Waterkill”, a fast paced 300 page thriller.  

With the mysterious outbreak of a deadly disease in a Yemeni village, followed by an increase in terrorist chatter after the crash of a small airplane in eastern Alaska, CEO Dr. Dave Henson and colleague Ron Blackwell of NSurv Inc. are tapped by the Department of Homeland Security to locate the aircraft wreckage and its suspected deadly contents.

While Henson and Blackwell are in the eastern mountains of Alaska helping the U.S. Border Patrol locate the missing aircraft and its contents, Henson’s wife, internationally known journalist Dana Cogswell, goes missing while covering another sudden and suspicious epidemic in a small town in Germany.

Henson races from Alaska to Germany to rescue Dana and ends up on a quest to the Middle East to find her. Along the way he learns of a shocking betrayal of friendship and that the path to his wife ultimately leads to the terrorist leader behind the deadly outbreaks.

“As the world focuses its concerns on the threat of nuclear attacks from rogue nations and terrorist organizations, other types of technology provide just as real a danger to the public,” says author Mark Donovan. “Waterkill explores the field of Nanoscience and how it could be exploited to enable the synthetic creation of common diseases for conducting pandemic bioterrorism attacks.”

“Waterkill is a thriller that will keep you on the edge from the beginning until the end. Since I got emerged into this book from the first paragraphs, it gets 5 stars out of 5.” - Ionela Hamz

"Waterkill" can be purchased in paperback for $13.99 and eBook formats for $3.99 through Amazon and Barnes and Noble.

Review copies available to qualified reviewers and booksellers.
