“Timelock gets my highest recommendation and will easily make my Top 10 List of best books I’ve read in 2013” -- Toptenbookreview.com
“R.G. Knighton is a rare writer -- I believe he is a natural talent. He commands a razor-edged wit and a wonderful sense of sardonic irony. His ability to place ordinary people into extraordinary situations is what gives this book a breezy kind of power that doesn't pretend to be anything but sheer entertainment. Devilishly clever, nutty, bloody, gory, funny and fun.”
5 stars -- Ken Korczak
