By the way, he wrote two novels, but always met with rejection.

Only in 2002 printed a publishing the novel The Business Of Dying (Eng. day of wrath ) and prepared Kernick thus the beginning of his bestselling authors career. Since 2002, an annual novel appears from his pen.

Attaches particular importance Kernick on pointing out that he researched in real police officers of a special unit, but these do not have the negative qualities of his Roman heroes.
