Reviews:

 

sfbook.com - "A Heist Too Far is an exceptional blend of  wit, character and humour, highly recommended." 5/5

 

Fantasy Book Review - "Knipe never attempts to hide these  influences but instead treats us to his own amusing take on high fantasy and there are some genuinely warm, funny and exciting moments to be had. The thing that I liked most about the book was that it never attempted to take itself too seriously and I think the author intended for this to be simply a fun read. And in this he succeeded." 7.8/10

Mallik, an assassin with a short temper and an assortment of sharp weapons, Dick Swede a.k.a The Black Moustache, an almost famous highwayman, and Jules Van Jives, a scruffy elf with an obsession for fire and explosives are wanted men, but something is about to make them more wanted than usual.

 

     When an almost perfectly planned coach robbery goes horribly wrong and Mallik’s love is killed, he’ll stop at nothing to get his revenge, even if it means helping to liberate a fallen Dwarf citadel, rescuing villagers from their impending sacrifice and Dick shaving off his trademark moustache on the way.

 

     As their usual world falls apart before their eyes and they cross the line from novelty crook to noose-bait, Mallik tries to dig them out of a very deep hole.

A Heist Too Far is the first part of the Heist Too Far trilogy, a trio of books following Mallik as the main protagonist, with his close friends and allies, Dick Swede and Jules Van Jives.  The story sets the scene for the remainder of the books, and describes Torbea, the country they live in, and gives a lot of depth to the world, which, up until printing, had been rebounding around inside the author's head for many years.
