ANOTHER FIVE-STAR REVIEW! 🔥

Miami Vice meets The Wire? We'll take that! 🕶

Another fantastic review for GUN RUNNERS, the 1980s Miami crime thriller from Outrun Books.

📖 “Gritty Action Adventure”

“When I learned that this story was set in Miami, my head immediately went to the 80s TV show Miami Vice...and this book does not disappoint.”

“Everything you can imagine as far as a crime saga comes into play: intrigue, betrayal, secrets, action, etc. If you're a TV person, the story also reminds me of the complexity of The Wire.”

“Great story with sequels to come...I can't wait!”

A massive thank you to Elysha Hove for taking the time to read and review GUN RUNNERS! 🙌

If you love 1980s nostalgia, undercover agents, organised crime, fast cars and explosive action, this one's for you.

📚 Available on Amazon in paperback and Kindle, including Kindle Unlimited.

🎧 Complete with its own official soundtrack.

ANOTHER 5-STAR AMAZON REVIEW FOR GUN RUNNERS! 🔥

A huge thank you to Nathan Hammel for reading and reviewing the first instalment in the GUN RUNNERS series!

📖 "A Gritty Miami Crime Story"

"Gun Runners immediately sets a dark tone with the disappearance of an undercover ATF agent and the dangerous world he was investigating. I enjoyed the 1980s Miami setting, which gives the story a distinctive atmosphere, while the mix of ex-soldiers, mercenaries, and ruthless criminals creates plenty of tension. The themes of betrayal, ambition, and survival run strongly through the premise, making it easy to wonder who can actually be trusted. It feels like a gritty beginning to a larger crime story, with plenty of danger and unanswered questions to keep things moving."

— Nathan Hammel, Amazon ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

It's fantastic seeing readers connect with the characters, atmosphere and the wider story I'm building across the GUN RUNNERS universe.

If you love Miami Vice, 80s action movies, ruthless criminals and explosive crime thrillers, welcome to the world of GUN RUNNERS!

📚 Available in paperback and Kindle Unlimited. 🎧 Featuring an official novel soundtrack.

Halloween has got us thinking… 🎃📼

At Outrun Books, we’re starting to feel like Billy Bob and the Pumpkin Monster need to meet.

One enormous purple giant. One fire-fuelled pumpkin nightmare. One gloriously ridiculous retro-horror crossover.

BILLY BOB vs. THE PUMPKIN MONSTER?
We might have to make this happen. 🔥🎃💀

GUN RUNNERS ATF. 🔥🚨

Miami, 1984. The streets are still burning from the aftermath of GUN RUNNERS, and the ATF has unfinished business.

Vanessa Carter takes command. Roxy Delgado stays in the field. A trail of explosives is leading towards Crown Field, a packed stadium with 60,000 people inside.

This is all part of our world-building.

Alongside the main GUN RUNNERS series, we’re creating spin-offs and standalone stories that explore different characters, agencies and corners of the same universe, building a bigger interconnected world with every book.

Fast, violent, neon-soaked retro fiction, with its own real-world soundtrack. 🎧📼😎
