Thirteen boys. Twelve dead. One survives. For now . . .

Adam was born at the stroke of midnight at the start of a new millennium. He is the target of a cult who believe boys born at that time must die before the end of their thirteenth year. Twelve boys have been killed so far.

Coron, the crazed cult leader, will stop at nothing to bring in his new kingdom. And now he is planning a bombing spectacular across London to celebrate the sacrifice of his final victim . . .

Thirteen is the first in an explosive thriller duology from Tom Hoyle. Read on with the action-packed Spiders. Perfect for fans of Michael Grant and Robert Muchamore.

A gripping thriller about a boy targeted by a murderous cult leader. Fast-paced action for fans of CHERUB and GONE.

About the Author
Tom Hoyle is the headmaster of a North London boys' school. Thirteen is his first book, and he followed this with the equally exciting Spiders. He says 'I wanted every chapter to be dramatic and engaging, the literary equivalent of a modern action film, something that even the most reluctant readers in my English class would want to pick up.'

Reviews
Fast-paced and brimming with action, menace and suspense, Thirteen is a truly gripping and gritty thriller. * Lancashire Evening Post *
I found myself gripped and not able to put it down until I knew what happened. The author has a sequel planned and I will be looking out for it. * jilllovestoread.blogspot.co.uk *
If you know any young to mid teens with a penchant for thrillers and tense action stories, this is definitely the story for them. * ermergerdwerds.wordpress.com *
I would recommend this book at the younger teen but anything that can get young males reading is worthy of acclaim and I think this book will certainly do that. * boyletstalkaboutbooks281.blogspot.co.uk *
It is definitely something I would recommend for a younger, male reader who enjoys books such as The Recruit by Robert Muchamore. * arabooklover.blogspot.co.uk *
Thirteen is a rattling good read and I suspect there will be plenty of adults, like me, who will be very happy to add this to their reading piles. * crimereview.co.uk *
A great read for everyone but it will join my list of reads for boy, particularly those finding reading an effort aged 12-16. * The School Librarian *
Thirteen is an explosive read that is very readable. It's dangerous, disturbing and always exciting. * fictionfascination.blogspot.co.uk *
