Read quotes from famous people who have read The Synchronicity Factor
- Peter Lovesey, Cartier Diamond Dagger Lifetime Achievement award crime fiction author.
"Disturbing and intriguing. The Synchronicity Factor is much more than a page-turning thriller, for its remarkable plot is rooted in real science and real history." - Professor Peter Welton.
"This book has it all…excitement, metaphysics, scandal, corruption, intrigue, sex, shady business practice, academic niceties and beautiful women. For a first novel this is remarkable. It has all the hallmarks of self-assurance and confident use of language. Stephen Hancock knows how to dangle a tit-bit and have the reader salivating for more. He also has an enviable grasp of evocative language. In his vivid description of a fight in Geneva I could have sworn I heard a bone break! If ever I saw a book destined for Hollywood, it’s this one. I found myself casting it. I couldn’t put it down. Brilliant!"
- Steve Cockayne, Internationally published author of the Legends of the Land trilogy and The Good people.
"Stephen T. Hancock has created something unique. Working within the conventions of the classic action thriller, The Synchronicity Factor evokes much of the feel and texture of the world of Ian Fleming and Eric Ambler, but cleverly interweaves this with a darkly powerful supernatural strand that harks back to the best period of Dennis Wheatley. All of this combines to generate a narrative that is packed with twists and turns, racing from one unexpected development to the next and keeping the reader guessing until the very end. The characters are intriguing and strongly-drawn, the settings vivid and memorable, the technology - and the women - glossy and seductive. The Synchronicity Factor is a hugely enjoyable read, and I look forward to seeing more work from Stephen T. Hancock." - Marcus Bolt, author of ‘Monkey Trap.
"It’s a good, racy story, zipping along nicely. The ploy of different groups converging, with connections in the past – well worked out. In fact because of its pace, it reads as though one is watching a film."
