“This book has many fantastic qualities. Jeffrey Allen Mays weaves in mythology, religious allegories and rich characters to create a vivid and intriguing novel. His ambition works in his favor to create a philosophical novel that delves deep into the idea of what being a hero means….The characters are impressively complex…”  – by Magie Marshall.

“…an ambitious and philosophical novel that looks at the concept of a “hero” while following three protagonists are caught in an overwhelmingly corrupt city… characters are well developed. For readers looking for a bit more depth to their novels, this book might be just up your alley.” – by Whitney Smyth. 

“…a fascinating world…deftly combines elements of noir, comic book, and westerns into a captivating descent into the psychological underpinnings of heroism, villainy, and the everyday man who just wants to live his life…If the reader digs deeper, and Mays worked hard to make this worthwhile, there is more to discover.”

“The Former Hero is a dark adventure that sometimes scared the hell out of me. The pages were filled with bad guys and gals, high speed motorcycles, dank basements, and an occult figure dismembering a society that gave up. Set in a gritty and disturbing dystopia identified only as the ‘City of Man’, I wondered if author Jeffrey Allen Mays wasn’t describing today’s world. 

“The story is gripping, the characters are original with their own self determination. A unique psychological suspense, that kept me up late into the night, just wanting to read one more chapter. I do believe that lovers of psychological thrillers will enjoy The Former Hero by Jeffrey Allen Mays.”

“The Former Hero…is a complex novel that I can foresee re-reading several times…[It] will have a special place in my library…The sense of place, the mythology of the hero, the concepts of good versus evil, the religious allegory, and the rich tapestry of characters created by the author are all stand-out aspects in the novel…”
