Praise for Death Sentence (Escape from Furnace Book 3):"In this third installment of the Furnace series, Gordon-Smith has pulled out all the stops. It is a tour de force of action and adventure.

Please continue to wow us, Mr. Gordon Smith-your books are a pleasure to read." -VOYAPraise for Solitary (Escape from Furnace Book 2):"Fast paced and packed with nail-biting scenarios . . . This is a dark story with a dark ending, but the gritty action and compelling characters will have reluctant readers enthralled." -School Library Journal"Once again, Smith has created a thrill ride that will leave the audience wanting more. Smith's prose is fast paced, witty, and sometimes downright terrifying. Some of the images he creates could manifest into a nightmare or two.
