Praise for Book 1 of the Joe Hawke series, Amazon UK #1 Men’s Adventure,
Amazon UK #1 Military Thriller -

“Great read. I really enjoyed this book, a great start to a new series.”

“Top notch action-adventure book. Excellent adventure book with plenty of action and suspense - the story idea is great too. It’s well edited - Rob Jones is a name to remember.”

“Similar type of adventures to Andy McDermott and Scott Mariani.”


After walking away from the ECHO team, THE CURSE OF MEDUSA finds Joe Hawke in America when the President of the United States is kidnapped and Washington DC comes under the worst attack in American history.

Meanwhile, Lea Donovan receives terrible information about her father’s death and must travel alone from Elysium to Ireland to find the truth about what happened on that darkest day of her childhood when he was brutally killed.

From the Idaho mountains to Washington DC to New York City, Joe Hawke must fight against the forces of darkness to rescue the President from a truly terrible fate and stop a man who will do anything to take his revenge and destroy America in the most horrifying way imaginable.

In Hawke’s darkest, fastest challenge yet he struggles through the night to restore peace to America and bring the President safely back to the White House, and along the way he realizes what’s truly important to him.

Joe Hawke and the ECHO team will return in VALHALLA GOLD (Joe Hawke #5) in the Spring of 2016 when they travel to the ends of the earth to find the greatest treasure of all and make a massive discovery that shocks them to their core.

    The ECHO team is embroiled in a terrorist takeover of the United States government. The Secretary of Defense relies upon Joe Hawke to rescue the USA from the curse of Medusa.
  • Reviewed in the United States on August 20, 2017
    Loved it. Lots of sarcastic humor. Main character Joe Hawke should think more about defense before Trouble comes. Anticipating the actions of these villains should come as second nature to an SBS veteran. Instead, the same things happen time after time.

    Those of you who are now followers of Joe Hawke will not be disappointed in The Curse of Medusa. The story is engaging and fun. What more needs to be said?

    5.0 out of 5 stars Just gets better
    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on August 13, 2016
    Yet another excellent read from Rob Jones. This time we find Joe on his own after walking away from Lea and ECHO in the last instalment. He finds himself in the middle of massive terror attacks in the USA and searching for the President and all the time trying to understand what a Greek Myth has to do with it all. Its not load before Scarlett and Ryan turn up to help. Meanwhile Lea is off on her own chasing ghosts!!!Very well written with some good twist and turns and a great cliff hanger ending, looking forward to the next keep up the great work Rob.

    4.0 out of 5 stars A good read.
    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on October 13, 2016
    When I started reading this book I was expecting it to be along the same lines as his other novels & although the story was good &well written the Medusa scenario didn't work for me at all. It really was way too far fetched. No-one seemed to bat an eyelid or question how this mythical skull had gone from years of fantasy to the actual real-life existence of such a lethal`weapon`. The actual plot was really good & there was plenty of action throughout but I would've preferred something that was more believable. Still an enjoyable book & if you are able to get past the credibility of the deathly evil Medusa then you will probably enjoy this book.

    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on April 24, 2017
    Again similar format to the rest but if you like the other books then this has a slightly more political flavour. Okay read. But still a bit formulaic along the way. I just like the twists on ancient history.
