“21:24 is a page burner and page turner, and refreshingly unrestrained when it needs to be. Authors Critchell & Hughes shine a brutally unflinching light on the subject of crime and punishment, and in the process reveal something about the darkness that can be found in the soul of the human animal. It reminds us that when you stare into the abyss, the abyss also stares into you.”

“21:24 is a horrifying vision of a future drenched with the blood of the past. Step inside the ‘facility’ in this whirlwind tour de force from the deranged minds of Jason Hughes and Simon Critchell and be prepared to be shocked, terrified and rivetted to the page. 21:24 deals with the twisted subject of the human psyche and the depths to which our species can and does sink all too often. Here we have a species, driven by free will and all its excesses but at the same time punished by the crimes of conscience and consequence. 21:24 shows us that we are all capable of committing the most heinous of acts given the right (or wrong) circumstance, and that sometimes the worst kind of horror is that which comes from the human mind. Be prepared to be scared. Two thumbs up.”

“I don’t agree with capital punishment. I don’t agree with justice or retribution. Hell, I won’t even swat a mosquito, if it offends me. An eye for an eye will make the entire world blind. But when viewed strictly as a work of literature, 21:24 is what Mario Puzo was to the Mafia, what I Spit on Your Grave was to revenge. There is no denying the brutality of 21:24 is jaw-dropping, its ugliness poignant. It’s a RIDE.”

“21:24 is explicit in its darkness… The opening is really as dark and horrific as it gets. My stomach is still rolling, and it takes a lot for me to get there.”

“21:24 is BRUTAL, even though it is extremely well-written.”

“21:24 strays away from the fads and trends of today… This is a Fiction novel that hits close to home with a brutal atmosphere of reality.”

“21:24  truly plays off of your inner turmoil, the gray area between right and wrong, and it will take your conscience beyond its limits and off a cliff… It is startling how likely the events in 21:24 are to come about in real life.”
