TIME STARTS NOW Hunted by a Roman assassin, a slave in Cleopatra's temple finds herself on a journey that changes her life forever in TIME STARTS NOW, a thrilling love story by Mike Tucker, the author of 28 books, former deep cover mercenary and the only writer in our time compared to Hemingway. Inspired by a Bedouin legend, TIME STARTS NOW is a story rich in point-blank action, a gripping and moving love story and a wild, entertaining ride. PRAISE FOR MIKE TUCKER "Spartacus Did the Right Thing is one of the novels that has won Mike Tucker's prose just comparison to Ernest Hemingway. Tucker's short, energetic sentences are stripped down and laconic, lending a rhythm and directness to the narrative that immediately recalls Hemingway." Miles Amoore, the African Correspondent THE SUNDAY TIMES, London. www.amazon.co.

uk "If Hemingway were alive, he would be buying drinks for Mike Tucker all night long, for Tucker's vivid, moving first-hand account of a 250 kilometer deep reconnaissance behind Burmese Army lines, The Long Patrol, pivots on those quintessentially Hemingwayesque themes of armed men fighting to survive against overwhelming odds, and simply battling against the elements. Outstanding." Jim Algie, Editor, journalist & author, UNTAMED TRAVEL. Bangkok, Royal Kingdom of Thailand "RONIN, by Mike Tucker, a gripping book on Marine snipers in Iraq, is along with Ghost Wars, one of the top ten books since September 11th." Matt LaPlante, Foreign correspondent, THE SALT LAKE TRIBUNE.
