THE #1 AMAZON AND AUDIBLE BESTSELLER, SHORTLISTED FOR AUDIBLE BOOK OF THE YEAR 2015

"THE STONE MAN is a novel that intrigues, enthralls, horrifies, thrills, and hits the reader with an emotional resonance as only the best stories can."
- Ain't It Cool News

Nobody knew where it came from.

Nobody knew why it came.

When an eight feet tall man made of stone appears in the middle of a busy city centre one July afternoon, two-bit (and antisocial) reporter Andy Pointer assumes it's just a publicity stunt.

Indeed, so does everyone else ... until the Stone Man begins to walk, heading silently through the wall of the nearest building, flattening it and killing several people inside as a result.

As efforts by the local police - and soon, the government - to halt the Stone Man's inexorable progress prove futile, only three questions are on the watching world's lips:


Where has it come from, where is it going, and what does it want?

Andy is determined to be the first person to answer those questions; after all, he was there when it arrived. Surely the headaches and visions he's experiencing are proof of a mental connection to The Stone Man? Clearly his dreams of champagne and notoriety are all about to be fulfilled once he uncovers the truth ... and the scoop of a lifetime.


In a pursuit that carries him the length of the country and the breadth of the Atlantic, Andy uncovers the jagged pieces of an increasingly terrifying puzzle. As the number of lives lost in the wake of the Stone Man reaches grim figures, the terrible results of Andy's blind determination force him to confront the savagery of human nature.


When irresistible forces aren't met by immovable objects, how far is too far? Andy must discover the answer - and find out who he really is - in the shadow of the Stone Man.


PRAISE FOR 'THE STONE MAN':

    • "Tagged as both science fiction and a thriller, this is a book that has it all: strong characterization, moral quandaries, mystery, and a whole lot of tense moments all presented through the narration of a fallible, all too human protagonist that you can't help but root for. Reading the final sentence of the The Stone Man was truly a bittersweet moment. " SFsignal.com, Hugo award-winning website

      • "If you've read anything else by Luke, you will be wanting to read this. If you've not, then this is as good a place as any to start." simon211175, Amazon Vine Voice
        • "Tremendous. I was looking for something completely original and different, this nailed it. Highly recommended." Neil Novita
          • "It was one of those books where you tell yourself you will read just one more page, then look at the clock and realise that it's 2 hours later. I would thoroughly recommend it" Elaine Hosegood
            • "...so my 5-star review? That's five stars in comparison to REAL books; not just the stuff you'll find self-published on Kindle. The Stone Man is the sort of book that, if I'd splashed ten quid on in an airport or train station, bookstore, I'd have considered it money well-spent." Militant Ginger, Amazon USA Review
              • "Fantastically written characters who make you care about them right from the off, an unfathomable villain who defies all understanding and a supporting cast that flesh out the story beautifully." Andy Pettifer, Goodreads Review

              I personaggi non hanno vita,né identità. Non c'è vera storia. Il narratore iniziale,nel quale ci si poteva limitatamente identificare, muore e la narrazione viene ripresa da un personaggio secondario. Tutta la suspense si risolve in nulla, neanche una ipotesi.

              It's very rare for a book to keep me glued to it, wondering with anxiety in my chest what will happen next but this one actually did it. The story was riveting, the mystery an ongoing thread and the characters believable and well fleshed out. Halfway through, I even ran to order the other two books in the series. The only downside I saw was the myriad of proof-reading errors. But I can get over that, the story was THAT good. I now must read all of Mr. Smitherd's work.

              Fear of the unknown is what I like the most in a scifi/horror mix, nicely done! Did not know this author but will definitely check out his other books.

              I loved this book--it was fast-paced, original, well-written (storywise), thrilling, fun, realistic... It's a really good book.

              But I did not love was the use of the past participle of stand (stood) when its hould be the gerund (standing). It's EVERYWHERE in the book, so that instead of saying "I saw her standing there", the author says "I saw her stood there": No! No! You did not saw her stood there (unless you saw her stood up), because that is grammatically impossible! There were typos and other mistakes, but this is clearly something that Mr. Smitherd does not realize is a serious error...

              My other recommendation to Mr. Smitherd: if you are planning on giving a main character a "condition" (such as Asperger's), don't settle for internet research. Talk to someone about this--because the character who is Asperger in this book, is way too sensitive and incisive regarding other people's emotions and motives. Not even the mildest form of Asperger would allow a person to be so insightful as to see when somebody is being passive-aggressive (most men out there in the world DO NOT see that at all), or when a wife wants her husband to say something and he doesn't get it (no men out there in the world see that at all). It is IMPOSSIBLE, medically speaking, for somebody diagnosed with Asperger to have these amazing insights into the emotional world of others. I have two close relatives with this syndrome--they can be trained to pick up on cues and things, they can learn to act as if they understand or can handle social interactions, but they could never do anything like what the character in this book does. And one of my relatives is high-functioning, ultra-mild Asperger (the other one is full-blown Asperger...). Next time, describe what your character is like to a medical expert and ask them if it is possible, before you make them Asperger, or OCD, or whatever you choose...

              The one bit of the story that was unrealistic was the "religious" bit. One is left wondering why there would be "inter-religious violence", because there is never anything said on what that "religious factor" was...

              All in all, great book. Seriously recommend it.
