About this ebook
In the morning, he's struggling to remember. By the evening, he's struggling to survive. John Smith's risk avoidance policy just expired!
Waking up beside the gorgeous Savannah Jones, John is shocked to learn she was for hire, and he can't pay the price - a thousand pounds or broken legs. In desperation, he turns to best friend, Mark, for the money. Only one problem - Mark has a dagger in his back.
John and Savannah are plunged into a dangerous world where wits and adrenaline are their only weapons and trust in each other their only certainty. As the body count mounts, they discover Mark wasn't the person John thought, and his terrifying invention may well end up killing thousands, John and Savannah included.
A race to recover the missing invention pits the unlikely pairing against ex-SAS psychopath, Gregory Fisher, a man who will stop at nothing and kill anyone in his way to wreak revenge against the Government who stole his livelihood.
When Smith and Jones team up, the result is explosive.
Ethan Justice: Origins is a fast-paced, action-packed, character-driven thriller, guaranteed to make you laugh out loud, cringe, cry and cheer.
This book contains a few violent scenes, a dash of sex and the odd bit of bad language, so please don't buy it if you are easily offended.

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5I received this book in exchange for my honest review.I found Ethan Justice: Origins a very gritty, suspenseful, unsettling and riveting story. The characters stood apart from each other, having their own identities and were easily recognizable, it is very well written and my nerves were raw while following the climax of the story. I look forward to reading the further adventures of Ethan and Savannah.Thank you Simon for giving me the Kindle file, I loved your book!
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5If Ian Flemming was still alive and writing I'm pretty certain his books would have been similar to Ethan Justice. Thankfully we have his great grandson (real or otherwise), Simon Jenner to pick up the slack.Ethan Justice, an action filled British thriller with lots of sarcasm and bad ass. Everyone loves an underdog and Jenner captures this so well with his unambitious character John Smith who grows through out the book becoming 'Hero Extraordinaire', finding himself, his manhood and his woman all in one go.I also like the fact the gadgets in the book are techinical yet simple making the story believable. Books in which the author captures readers imagination with little effort are the best and Jenner does so with great ease. I look forward to reading Ethan Justice: Relentless.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5The 'Failure to launch' concept has become a household term in the last fifteen years. Son and daughters with more time and little enthusiasm live off of mom and dad. Thirty is the new seventeen and forty is the new twenty one. Most parents that are "blessed" with a failure to launch child pray for some miraculous motivational spark to light inside their child's brain or to at least have them mooch off of someone else for a while. This book is about one man that was a poster child for the failure to launch epidemic, but overnight found a rocket underneath his feet that threw him into the land of maturity. It is a story about a man named John Smith who finds himself indebted to a hooker who was hired by his recently dead best friend. Not believing his friend would betray him like this he soon finds himself hunted by two comical, yet unstable men in black characters. Wanting to dump his newly acquired burden he agrees to assist the nearly psychotic agents, but realizes that he has bitten off more than he can chew. Much too his annoyance, he discovers a sociopath is determined to track him down for an item he must protect. Avoiding death at every turn he uses his quick wits and dumb luck to weasel out of each deadly encounter. Will John set things right with the girl that has found herself on the wrong side of the tracks? Can John protect himself and the rest of the country from a nutcase? Will John realize that he is a person that is incredibly intelligent with much to offer the world?I really liked the story with its fast action and quick paced reading. I enjoyed watching John develop into a decent human who was capable of many things. I enjoyed seeing him grow as a character and watching his self esteem increase. I liked how the author showed that if a person sets his mind to it, he can be just about anything he wants to be. I honestly see a bright future for this character and the author. I would recommend this book in a heartbeat and am going to have my husband read it next. It is one hell of a ride and worth the read! I must thank the author for giving me the book in return for an honest review. I normally do not read books like this, but I honestly had a good time. I will keep my eyes open for other books and look forward to seeing this character grow. Great job author and I expect more from you!
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5This was a well-written book with an interesting plot and lots of action but the language and the sex was just too strong for my taste. If you like action thrillers and those things aren't an issue to you, then you'll probably enjoy this one. I couldn't recommend it to my friends but I'm sure it will find an appreciative audience.I received a copy of this book from the author for review.
