A vivid and addictive read. Buick drops you into a story full of characters you care about and doesn't let you loose until the final page. Riveting.

~ Steven James, author of The Bishop
 

One Child by Jeff Buick is a thrill ride from start to finish. A far-reaching cast of characters and plotlines converge in a high stakes drama of international intrigue, murder, greed and deception. Gripping and explosive.

~ Douglas Preston, co-author of The Monster of Florence and Fever Dream
 

Really, what I'm trying to say, is that if you haven't heard about this book before, shame... You should have."

I refused to put it down until I finished reading it. My first reaction at the end? Awe. I just put the book down and soaked in the revelation. How does he achieve this magnificent work? With master storytelling. Jeff Buick has raised the bar in the thriller genre.

The Immersive Experience

Rather than writing another thriller, best-selling author, Jeff Buick decided to give readers an experience. Readers of One Child will be immersed in the story, learning more about characters, their interests, their connection and even their work places.

Behind the experience of reading One Child, is a touching and thrilling story - the Calgary Herald dubbed Jeff Buick a "Literary Pioneer".

As the story unfolds, readers of One Child experience rich media content including audio, video and interactive social media. One Child sets a social media stage where readers can interact and experience the book's characters in greater depth. Social media profiles (Facebook, Linkedin, Youtube etc.) have been created for many our characters as well as websites for the corporations in the book. If you send a character a message (by e-mail, Facebook, LinkedIn, Twitter) they will respond directly to your message.

At the end of each chapter, readers are encouraged to discuss the happenings in the book online. We have created a meeting place on Facebook where readers can discuss their findings and chat about where they see the story going. To set the tone, each new day in the story is greeted with a radio broadcast from WKIO News 510 AM, an fictitious online radio station, based in "New York".

Topping off the reader's experience are 4 segments of the book that have been dramatized by professional actors and filmed on a set resembling Afghanistan. You can view these video segments as you read the story on your computer or iPad.

And that’s just some of the things we’ve done to make One Child an experience, not just a book.

One Child sets new standards for the way we experience books, and sets the tone for what we are to expect in the future - unique user experiences.
