DISCOVERING A NEW FORCE IN THRILLER WRITING
“Reminiscent of the suspense of a Frederick Forsyth before settling into the pace of a James Patterson and the bangs per buck of Andy McNab.”
“Not only is this story itself full of suspense, but Gates' method of writing keeps you on the edge of your seat. He uses short, concise sentences to set the mood at times, and switches to longer, more flowing sentences to tone down other scenes. This author grasps not only the power of words but also the power of sentence structure within the novel. He manages to bring absolute chaos to life so that you feel like you are living it with the characters.”
That is what top book reviewers are saying about thriller writer
ERIC J. GATES
His writing has also been compared to Lee Child, Dan Brown, Tom Clancy, Robert Ludlum and even the ‘24’ TV series.
His latest thriller, Leaving Shadows, is no exception and has already garnered 5 Star reviews on Amazon.
Over the last few years this ex-computer security/cyberwarfare consultant and martial arts expert has built up a solid following for his fast-paced thrillers. His pulse-racing novels mix real, contemporary events with a touch of the unusual; always creating a fresh and original approach to the subjects he tackles. Even his characters stand out as people you would like to meet, or not, in real life.
“Imagine that all your world, all you know and understand, all you accept as true, all the rules you live by, all of it were contained within a circle drawn with a thick black border. Outside that circle, there be dragons… and vampires, assassins, covert agencies, aliens… Well, my books dance along that black border, occasionally meandering outside to give things a good shake up.” (Eric J. Gates in a recent interview on Authors of the Free World.)
Eric J. Gates has four thriller novels available in paperback and e-book format from AMAZON:
Leaving Shadows – When is a kidnapping not a kidnapping? A page-turning spy thriller where deceit and lies abound and nothing is as it seems.
“The twists and turns that Gates takes serve to keep the action moving and the reader's mouth hanging open.” “Gates gives the classic [spy] thriller a thoroughly modern upgrade.”
the CULL – What if vampires were real? A deadly manhunt ensues as a young, reckless ex-FBI agent is partnered with an ex-NSA spy and tasked to eliminate a serial killer. The hunters soon become the hunted!
“An original take on the Vampire myth and some wonderfully sympathetic characters.” “This was by far one of the best suspense novels that I have read in a long time.” “James Patterson meets Dan Brown, while remaining entirely unique.”
Full Disclosure– A dying Texas town finds itself on the front lines of a covert war when the President reveals Mankind’s Greatest Secret.

2012– Against a backdrop of International tension and global disasters, an ex-Special Ops soldier, with nothing to lose, and the daughter of an MIT robotics engineer race to stop the End of the World.
