Editorial Reviews

The Tribe marks the debut of a compelling new voice in fiction. Highly recommended reading."

Brandon Massey

The Tribe is a masterful, absolutely chilling blend of Amistad meets The Twilight Zone meets One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest meets Dawn of the Dead! Riveting and completely disturbing." This author's book is a masterpiece. I really mean it."

L.A Banks

Gregory Townes pens a novel of suspense interspersed with sci-fi and then kicks it up a notch with well developed characters.

In this tale of comeuppance from the evils of slave trading that travels through generations Townes sets retribution in motion in of all places; Brooklyn, NY. It is a fast paced thriller that keeps you engaged with a need for more at the end of each chapter. Be prepared to be informed. Keep a tissue handy for the tears.
