Customer Reviews

Fabulous!
Revenge: it's a powerful force that can destroy a life. Don't believe it? Just ask Robert Whitney, owner of a Birmingham-based software company. His wife and daughter were killed when trucker Derek Morrison purposely changed lanes and totaled their car. And part of Robert has died with them.

Matters only worsen when Robert discovers that deceit played a part in Derek's absolution. Past the edge of sanity, Robert uses his computer knowledge to take the law into his own hands and ruin the lives of Derek and others involved. His mission in life is to make them suffer just a portion of what he has suffered. But will it be enough?

This novel is first-class, hopefully the first of many more to come. Contemporary in nature, relevant in theme, frenetic in pace, I literally could not put the book down until I finished it. The same day I started it. Brian Reaves has taken a plausible story and put it into overdrive. Ample suspense is built throughout as the stakes are continually raised in several characters' lives.

My favorite character was a man named Levi. I won't give away his role, but I will say that he is a paradox, an unlikely breeze that blows fresh air into the whole book. I can only pray there are really people like that in the world--those who overcome personal obstacles and draw on the strength Christ gives to help others.

Brian Reaves is definitely a force to be reckoned with in the world of fiction. He knows how to draw the reader in, and once he's got you, he doesn't let go.

A page turner from the first line
The opening line of this book is "By five thirty, Derek Morrison
would be a murderer, but for now he was eating a tuna sandwich." From that first sentence, this novel propels you on a roller coaster ride that never lets up.
This book is all the more terrifying because the author is a computer programmer, and the events all too possible. "Stolen Lives" will have you turning the pages, staying up late, and updating the
firewall on your computer!
Highly recommended.

Stolen Lives is amazing
Stolen Lives launched Brian Reaves onto my list of all-time favorite authors. If you like a fast paced read, you will love this one. A novel to read in one sitting as you're grabbed in the beginning and held captive until the end. One of the best novels I've read in a long time. So settle back, get comfortable and enjoy the ride. You won't be disappointed. --Rita
