Do you enjoy a good, clean action adventure story without all the profanity, vulgarity, and salaciousness? If so, the “Off” series is for you.

Here’s what some readers have said about “Off Kilter:”
Customer Reviews:

“This was one of the best new author books that I have read in a long time. The plot kept twisting and turning and kept you on the edge of your seat.” - Marcia

“Great book! Lots of action and adventure. Great plot and characters. Couldn't put it down.” – atabarac

“I loved this fast paced action adventure. It is well written with great characters. The story line is compelling and the action is like a roller coaster of excitement. The best thing of all though is that there is no swearing or unnecessary illicit sex. It takes talent to write a good story without extra garbage and Glen Robins has done it.” - MK

First, tragedy strikes.

Next, the enemy targets him.

Then, he’s framed.

Now, he’s on the run.

Collin Cook’s life gets turned upside down when his family is killed in an accident. A large settlement is coming while Collin is still reeling, but so is the nefarious Pho Nam Penh, who is hell-bent on destroying the world’s economy. Penh locks in on Collin as an easy target and his settlement as funding for his terrorist plot.

After Penh frames him, Collin has to stay ahead of Penh’s henchmen, Interpol, and the FBI. With the help of his lifelong friend and NSA cyber-guru, Lukas Mueller, Collin must stay alive and free long enough to save the world from Penh’s devious scheme.

Can this ordinary man, untrained and inexperienced, outwit a determined foe, escape the incessant pursuit of law enforcement, and keep himself from mental collapse?

In the first installment of the action-packed “Off” Series, Glen Robins takes you on a whirlwind adventure with the fractured Collin Cook as he navigates the dangerous maze of economic cyber warfare. And he’ll do it without the graphic language or gratuitous scenes so prevalent in today’s thrillers.

If you’re a fan of Robert Ludlum’s Jason Bourne, Tom Clancy’s Jack Ryan, or Tim Tigner’s Kyle Achilles, with a twist of Sylvia Nasar’s “A Beautiful Mind,” you will love Collin Cook and his adventures.

What a page turner!

Reviewed in Australia on 20 March 2018

Verified Purchase

Loved this from the first page to the last...one of those books you don't want to end. OK, so Collin Cook is larger than life, evading capture so many times, and yet somehow believable as he hones his senses which helps him stay ahead of those who hunt him. I can not wait to start on the next book to see if he can turn the tides on his pursuers. Will Collin be able to return home?

Brilliantly written with just the right mix of suspense and action. The characters are believable and the writing style is easy and free-flowing. A real page-turner. Can't wait to read the rest of the series.

This book keeps you on the edge of your seat from start to finish! The author has no need to resort to dirt or language to keep you focused.
One of the best adventure novels ever.

Not enough in the plot

Reviewed in Australia on 21 April 2017

It was well written in terms of prose, however the plot was very shallow, very slow and when I came to the end of the book I discovered it was only the first part of the story ... very disappointed generally.

Disappointing

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 8 May 2017

Verified Purchase

This book starts promisingly. Who is pursuing Collin? Why? What do they want? Sadly, that promise isn’t fulfilled as the story unfolds. Off Kilter disappoints in its plot, in the writing, and in the characterisation.

The plot disappoints. It consists merely in one long chase round the world, with the hero, Collin, inevitably escaping with seconds to spare each time his pursuers catch up with him. After a while I started to skim-read these sequences, as there was little to hold my attention. When I finally got to the end of this overly long book, there came the biggest disappointment of all: there’s no resolution. The chase continues through another two books.

The writing disappoints. Good writing draws the reader in, in a seemingly effortless way. It’s not effortless at all, of course; it’s the result of careful and constant revision, so that the reader isn’t aware of the hard work that’s gone into it. Not so with Off Kilter. The style is laboured and self-conscious, and the dialogue is particularly poor: wordy and unrealistic. Real people rarely talk in lengthy paragraphs, or sound like characters in a 1950s B movie.

The characterisation disappoints. Collin, the main protagonist, just doesn’t add up. He has all the makings of an espionage agent. He is a master of disguise. He has a flair for languages: he can speak perfect German and Spanish, and do a convincing English accent. He’s a good cook. He is fit and agile, and has amazing powers of recovery from injury. He’s a scuba diver. Despite all this talent, we are told that he was unable to succeed as a salesman, and he goes into emotional meltdown every time a crisis looms, but yet he muddles through, even though any security official would spot him a mile off.

I shan’t be reading any more books by Mr Robins, I’m afraid.

A great book

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 30 December 2018

I have enjoyed reading this first book in the series getting to know Colin and his family friends and enemies he seems to be always one step ahead of everybody and is always being helped by his friend. His ability to go unnoticed is great and so are his many disguises. He gets to see different parts of the world although it's sometimes only very briefly. The ship he teams up with and it's crew are very helpful . I'm looking forward to reading the second and third books in the series.

Dear Mr Robins

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 21 April 2017

Verified Purchase

I enjoyed parts of this book, but I wouldn't give up the day job just yet. A story which is basically one long chase has lots of opportunities for thrills and narrow escapes, but ultimately as a plot it's pretty thin. I had sympathy with Collin (two Ls) as a victim, but all he could do was run away, supported by large amounts of cash which he was spending to stop his mysterious enemy getting hold of it. I would have liked a bit more complexity.
And you really shouldn't use 1950s Shepperton Studios films as a dialogue source. We Brits don't talk like that anymore!

Read Lionel Brown's Review

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 18 July 2017

Mr Brown puts it better than any words of mine. Just ignore my review and read his.

Or if you must...

A painful read. Irritating, unrealistic. Characters indistinguishable.

I read to the end except there was no end. Sorry but I couldn't do another - much too painful.

But there are positives - read Stephen king "about writing", don't quit, don't take comments personally. There is potential there. Study the art from the master.

Someone maybe SK said we all need to write a million words or ten novels before we have a reasonable skill built'.

Time, practice and seeking critical review will bring rewards in time as will reading, reading and reading not to mention reading as a writer i.e. With a critical eye on characterisation, plot, economy of language.

Worth downloading

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 19 April 2017

Verified Purchase

I downloaded as a free book, as I have found several authors to follow in this way. I will be reading the other two books in the series as I did enjoy the story. I was irritated with Colin a few times, when he kept having meltdowns, but actually this makes him a more human lead than normal, not such a hero! I also wondered why the villain hadn't grabbed him, instead of having a photo of them together posted online to get the Authorities involved; but then there would be no book, so just suspend disbelief and enjoy the journey.
Looking forward to continuing it, in Off Course and Off Guard. Thank you Mr. Robins.
