    "Reading this novel, I was baffled whether or not the writer was really a Nigerian, or a foreign expat. It's so welcoming how well he captures the tone, personal complexities and environment of the story's setting more than any foreigner would. And with the recent kidnappings going on in the country, this book offers a real eye-opener to the life existing there than any other does.

    I thought I was done with reading old school thrillers, the sort that remind me of Graham Green. Of people entrapped by their wants and choices, but most especially of their past. Here is a book that echoes that resolve in a gripping formula, which full-fledged characters the likes I haven't read of in a while. It's a well-written book, very engaging, and it was worth my time."

    Good quick read. I wish some parts of the book could have been given more detail, but it would have taken away from the quick flow of the book.

    “There is no redemption from hell” - Pope Paul III

    Author Damien Dsoul’s novel, ‘The Rabbit’s Man’, is a fictional tale of espionage and one man’s tale for redemption set in Nigeria. A literal explosive start dives the reader straight into the heat of the action where violence perpetrated by militants are common place, especially ones belonging to the United Niger Delta Brigade. We are soon introduced to the hero, Mr. Kingsley Azobi who is introduced as a honest and hard working businessman barely managing to keep afloat his sunk in debts real estate firm. He lives with his beautiful lawyer wife, Hillary and his two kids in a quiet neighbourhood at Oaks Estate. But he has a shady past that his family is unaware of and which he himself refuses to acknowledge anymore but is forced to when a British spy with a serious James Bond hangover, Lionel Parrish arrives in Kingsley’s life and threatens to make public his past if he refuses to take up a dangerous and covet mission for him.

    Kingsley used to be a gun runner for the dreaded militant group and his former gang members and his associations with them refuse to become a thing of the past. And at the unkindest time, a bomb explosion in his office also brings into his already troubled life a detective, whose investigation into the explosion unearths and causes more explosions. Detective Toji Oguavor is that sort of an existentialist cop who alternates between relying on pure intuition and method to find results and for whom violence can never become common place in spite of coming face to face with it frequently. The rest of the book shows how Kingsley Azobi’s life spirals out of control amongst the web of lies, deceits and betrayals that threaten to destroy him and his family forever and the insurmountable offenses he must mount to reclaim peace back in his life.

    The reader will be immediately drawn into the story, which has this aura of mystery that you will encounter in the first few pages and will keep you engaged throughout till the very end. The juxtapositions of brilliantly described and detailed action scenes, especially the opening action sequence are some of the main highlights worth mentioning. The violence and action that you encounter in the beginning entices and lures your mind into drawing this conclusion of an idea of what this novel will be like based on your past experiences with similar genres of books. But Damien Dsoul’s amazing ability to surprise will keep the reader’s attention hooked throughout by introducing characters and scenes that are both well written and spaced brilliantly in the narrative. You will soon realize that it is quite difficult to put down the book for long, before you start feeling this urge to pick it up again and find out what’s going to happen next.

    The country of Nigeria, you will realize early on is one of the main characters in this novel. The Rabbit’s Man showcases the strong and traditional belief systems of the people in the country in spite of the numerous changes and developments brought about by unbridled globalization process. A lot of detailing seems to have gone in its research; for the author has a keen eye that describes the rural and urban landscape of Nigeria like never before. And all major characters, be it that of Kingsley or Toji or Lionel are well drawn and developed.

    Sometimes when you read a mystery thriller, your mind often runs ahead and starts predicting the outcomes but in The Rabbit’s Man you will only be tripping over yourself if you do that and instead you should just go along with the flow of this fast paced book. Damien Dsoul’s novel is a well-written and engaging book that provides an exciting, tumultuous, and provocative look into the turmoil and chaos of Nigerian society. I thoroughly enjoyed my read of The Rabbit’s Man and would recommend it to any reader interested in fast paced thrillers that also offer a slice of African history and culture.

    Damien Dsoul has created an action packed book which certainly would appeal to people looking for something of a light reading to be finished in couple of days.

    The first few chapters might come slow, the reader might be in for a few shockers thrown in way of details of morning rituals performed by the lead character along with few minor editing errors.

    But, once the initial plot is sketched and the strange sounding character names have gained footing, the author takes you on a ride full of surprises, constantly evolving plot as the main characters King faces sequence of unexpected events which force him to look back into his past and through it an escape from the complex net of problems.
