Book Review - "Sledge vs. The Labyrinth", by Nick Horvath

Sledge vs. The Labyrinth
 
Nick Horvath
 
What a gloriously brutal adventure ride I found with this this novel.  The action is full on and non-stop, and did I mention brutal?  Prepare for a serious adrenalin overdose.  This is indie writing at its best, and Horvath’s authentic voice and superb, tight prose style are welcome additions to the growing ranks of fine indie authors.  It is so refreshing.  None of that vanilla mainstream publishing house tripe between these covers, and no pandering to the woeful woke brigades.
Underlying Horvath’s excellent writing, the plot is carefully woven with the main man, Sledge, trawling through the sewers of the dark web, as he is drawn into a nightmare labyrinth.  It’s certainly a story for our times.  In the tradition of the best action heroes, Sledge is as hard as nails, but driven by an ethical centre and we get insights to his emotions.  He is a flawed hero character perfectly drawn.  He’s the sort of guy I’d love to have a beer with, but I would not want to get on his wrong side, not ever.  Read the book to see what happens to those who do.
I loved this book from start to finish, and for a debut novel it is simply sensational.  I will be joining the growing legion of fans eagerly awaiting Horvath’s next instalment.  Bravo, Mr Horvath, keep up the great work.  And a hearty welcome to the indie author scene, great to have you on board, brother!

Cheers, ABP
