Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

Rob has never been in a car chase, a gun battle or a fight to the death. But he does come armed with a vivid imagination. And he’s not afraid to use it.

Originally a copywriter in the shadowy world of creative advertising, Rob went rogue in 2016 and started to publish books under the fiendishly inventive pseudonym of… Rob Aspinall.

Based in London, UK, Rob writes fast, funny thrillers with an original twist. Whether it’s spies, mobsters, serial killers or trained killers, he loads all of his books with action, humour and heart-thumping thrills.

Rob's books include:

The Truly Deadly series - Chaotic teen turns killer assassin.

The Charlie Cobb series - Mafia villain turns antihero vigilante.

The Sam Driver series - Six captured operatives on a mission to save the world.

Chosen Girls - Mystery thriller with a female P.I. and a shocking twist (prev. published as Homecoming).

Lots of action and had me laugh out loud too, really good!

This is listed as YA and adult. Well I'm 67 and been reading sci-fi, fantasy, military sci-fi, alternate history to name just a few genres and this book is quite original and I really enjoyed this book and author. No spoilers here but I was surprised by the the originality of the author, Rob Aspinall. I have already acquired the next novel and I highly recommend this book and author. There was some British slang used by the protagonist that I had to look up but this just added to the entertainment as far as I am concerned. And this was just a few times. Editing was superb.

A great solid start to a new series

Reviewed in the United States on March 14, 2016

A great solid start to a new series. Although there are times where the heroine seems a bit too mature and composed for her age, and some of the plot twists are a bit contrived, it's certainly no worse than most of the Bond films and more than made up for with some solidly written action scenes and a nicely intriguing premise. One note to the author/Amazon, though: there's a sequence of several paragraphs that's in the wrong order in the kindle version I read. Without giving too much away, it occurs towards the end of the fight in the changing room and left me going "what... huh?" until I figured out that part of the fight scene had inexplicably been placed after the actual end of the struggle.

Very good story.

Reviewed in the United States on December 9, 2021

The nicest surprise about this purchase is it included all 5 books in the series, although that was not mentioned in the pre-purchase summery. Therefore, you can read and read and read.
You can really get into the story and the characters evolve a lot throughout the series. The two main characters, Lorna and Philippe Vasquez, will have flashbacks to show where they started and how they ended up where they are and who they became.
You would think the evolution of Lorna from a young, weak, very sick girl waiting on a heart transplant into a super-spy who can kick butt or kill groups of huge, trained armed killers was unbelievable, but the author, Rob Aspinall manages somehow to do it smoothly and credibly.
The biggest con of the author's writing style for me is that he switches from character to character, but you often can't tell if it is Lorna or Philippe you are reading about or whether it is real-time or a flashback. I think the author did this on purpose but I found it confusing and frustrating.
I really liked this book and recommend it to all who like this genre of stories.

Decent book. Story line was OK but a the story telling was a bit clunky. I got this as a free kindle book. So I continued to read it, but I wasn't compelled to find out more. It was just more to read (which I love doing.)

This Series Is A Must Read! Forget James Bond!

Reviewed in the United States on September 30, 2016

This series is imaginative, gripping, addictive! Definitely movie worthy! I read all three books in under a week. Book one grabs you, as the author unfolds his tale. A real page turner. Book two grips you, introducing you to the fantastical world of cell memory and harvested organs that bypass organ rejection. Book three blows you away with more action than a 007 flick as you discover the pluses of advanced human engineering. It's action, Sci-Fi and Humor all rolled into one. The characters are spunky and full of wit. There's even the undercurrents of romance without the sop you find in today's modern romances. Hurry up with the sequel, Robert. I cannot wait!!

This is a really fun book to read. The author really created some interesting characters and was able to keep me entertained so much that it was hard to stop reading.

This book keeps you hooked every step of the way! It has mystery, excitement and one of the funniest teenage inner monologue I've read in a long time. The author has done a wonderful job of creating a captivating story for the rest of us to enjoy! I wholeheartedly recommend you read this book because I'm already looking into the next book in the series. Happy Reading

I just couldn't like this book. Being the spouse of a heart transplant husband I did not find it very well written. Too much foul language including the F word. Each chapter being a different setting was confusing. Scotty-just not to my liking.

Heart transplant miracle

Reviewed in Germany on June 16, 2019

Lorna is an average teenage girl who receives a heart transplant with gene memories of the previous owner. This leads her on a road of self discovery and allows her to act out the same talents of the previous owner of her heart. A work of creative fiction with an element of truth. Organs that have been transplanted can carry over the memory of the previous owner, it sound so unreal but true. A great read.

Muy buena novela de suspenso

Reviewed in Mexico on March 9, 2017

Dentro de las novelas de acción y suspenso es refrescante el novedoso tema de hacer que la protagonista sea una chica de 16 años, con un gran sentido del humor.
Me dejó intrigado y ya voy a empezar el libro 2.

A Great Read

Reviewed in Australia on August 29, 2018

The story line is fantastic as it is told through the eyes of 16 year old Lorna, who has a heart transplant. Lots of humour, laugh out loud moments Lorna's life is turned upside down as she has vivid dreams of an assassin named Phillipe! The action heats up when Lotna takes on 5 bullies! The teenagers life is never the same. Recommend this one.
