Welcome to the official GREIG BECK website.
Welcome Everyone! You've reached my official website which contains news and information about my latest novels and new projects. My books are now available in ten countries, and also in AUDIO format. All my novels contain an exciting mix of adventure thriller blended with an underlying vein of terror - in fact, welcome to my genre; the terror-thriller!
Keep a lookout for my new works coming in 2012 - starting with the first in the Valkeryn series - REUTURN OF THE ANCIENTS, followed by a novella called ARCADIAN GENESIS that takes us back to Alex Hunter's beginning. Then the big one in December... BLACK MOUNTAIN, the 4th of the series for Alex Hunter. And lots more yet to come!
Kind regards, Greig Beck.

WHAT THEY'RE SAYING ABOUT:
return of the ancients - valkeryn chronicles book 1:
RETURN OF THE ANCIENTS: VALKERYN CHRONICLES – An engrossing plot, great character development, and was an excellent read that I could not put down – a great epic. I truly can't wait until the next book comes out. Rating: High. FRONTLAVEN Reviews – USA.
Valkeryn delivers time travel, tunnels with slimy things hiding in the dark, desert wastelands with giant bleached bones, and then a land populated by creatures that have evolved to be the new rulers of Earth - where was the kitchen sink? Loved it! Jean Sparrow, Fiction&Fantasy Reviews, Australia.
I highly recommend this book not only because of the subject matter and delightful surprises found throughout, but also because it was simply a well written read. If you have an affinity for Norse mythology, wolves, or speculative fiction future worlds, then this is a great addition to your library. I, for one, am excited for the next installment. Voraciously Reads, Fiction Reviews USA
THIS GREEN HELL:
Publishing sensation Greig Beck is back - This Green Hell is a magnificent thriller with all the right elements. The author cleverly plays on subtle fears, with layers of suspense. BK Richmond, The Daily Examiner
This Green Hell: STEAMY - Danger, disappearances and contagion follow Dr Aimee Weir’s important discovery in the Paraguayan jungle. Author Beck piles on the action and suspense. In a word: steamy! Gold Coast Bulletin.
What a delight it is to see top sci-fi / horror coming out of this fair city -- the plot moves along at breakneck speed. Bring on the next one. VERDICT: Page-turning thrills and spills. The Daily Telegraph, book of the week. Chris Hook
This Green Hell – Greig Beck is Clive Cussler meets Matthew Reilly –- Violent, visceral and very, very good fun. Australian South Coast Register.
Greig Beck returns to the world of Alex Hunter with great gusto. As with the other books there’s fantastic research woven into the story and it seems Greig really loves to throw together facts from all over the place and mix them with a generous dollop of action and what-if. It’s a winning combination (and) what gives this story real depth and interest long after the current threat is put to rest, and it’s what will make me rush out to get book four. This Green Hell is a smart, delightful read with a big heart. Four stars. Keith Stevenson, Publisher & Editor Coeur de Lion Books
This Green Hell – excellent and fast paced. Always a real treat to pick up a book by an author you haven’t heard of before and read with no preconceived ideas about the writing style or formula of writing. It’s even more of a treat when you find a new author to add to your favorite list, as I’ve done with Greig Beck. Fringe Magazine.
BENEATH THE DARK ICE:
BUCKLE UP... This is going to be a hell of a ride! Jonathan Maberry - Bram Stoker Award winning author of The Wolfman (now a major motion picture).
Beneath the Dark Ice - What lies beneath: The pace never lets up as you’re hurled from one cavern to another with just the raspy breathing of a millenniums-old creature for company - It’s like he’s taken the imagination of Jules Verne, put it into a blender with a healthy dollop of Crichton, and folded in a teaspoon of Stephen King. The result? One heck of a ride. Post Noon BookBlog UK - Dean Williams | February 11, 2012 | Arts & Entertainment » Books.
Beneath the Dark Ice - Quickly paced, imaginatively detailed, and highly atmospheric, Beck's novel is an entertaining mix of thriller, horror, fantasy, and science fiction. Neal Wyatt, RA Crossroads, LIBRARY JOURNAL
Beneath the Dark Ice has all the ingredients of a late night page-turner: a remote and dangerous setting, a rugged hero with an Achilles heel, a vicious and deadly villain, geopolitical intrigue and cutting-edge science. Throw in a feisty heroine and a band of elite soldiers, put them in the ruins of an ancient civilization and pit them against a mythological creature, and it’s a recipe for compulsive reading. Lachlan Jobbins, Good Reading Magazine
Fast paced, fun and fantastic debut from a great new talent. Perfect escapism. Paperchain Books.
Beneath the Dark Ice - In a word: GRIPPING. Malcolm Tattersall, Townsville BULLETIN.
An exciting read! A successful mix of spy thriller, psychological drama, and scientific primeval action novel - with just a touch of the Jules Verne. Anne Dickson, Rodney Libraries.
DUNKLES EIS - GERMAN REVIEW: Exciting from beginning to end. Rated 4/5 Stars - Lesevergnügen (Reading Pleasure). Eva Hüppen - Lesser-Welt, Das Literaturportal.
GHIACCIO NERO - ITALIAN REVIEW: A breath of fresh air to find some 'golden age' of sci-fi sound - no frills and various cerebral mechanism - merged with the adventure and action, not forgetting the horror and spy-story. A vitamin mix for a novel drink in one gulp. Thriller Magazine 4/5 Stars
DARK RISING (aka Return of the Prophet):
STARTS WITH A BANG! And it is a big one. From there we are taken on a journey at break neck speed that meant I hardly put the book down all weekend. Anne Dickson, Rodney Libraries
HAS ALL THE RIGHT STUFF. It starts with gamma radiation in Persepolis, progresses through the threat of nuclear war, an ancient curse and winds up with monsters from the dawn of time. What more could anyone want? IAN NICHOLS, The West Australian.
THE PACE IS BREAKNECK! 4 STARS (highly recommended). Lachlan Jobbins. Good Reading Magazine.
Exciting, Fast-Paced And Cinematic In Feel. The Action Is Beautifully Choreographed, And The Characters Well Rounded. Beck Has A Strong Grasp Of The Action Genre – Four Stars. Keith Stevenson, Cour de Lion Books & Terra Incognita.
