Duane Swierczynski is a much-needed breath of fresh air in the book world...This guy is a great storyteller. I never know what he is going to come up with or where he is going to take me. I just know I won't be complaining about a thing once I get there.The premise may be absurd, but it's good enough to propel the breathless action scenes that make Swierczynski's cinematic novels so much fun to read - on the couch or on the run. - New York TimesA hip, dead smart novel, an entertaining start to what promises to be an addictive action trilogy - AustralianHarks back to those days when the situations were dire but the delivery was light, in the best possible way. A terrific read - Courier MailIf non-stop, cool action sequences with fun characters are your thing, you need to read some Swierczynski stories - WiredThe compelling premise pulls all our paranoid strings, and Swierczynski, like a mad scientist twirling dials, ratchets the tension ever tighter... the most unusual thriller series in a long, long time - BooklistPacks enough indestructible villains to satisfy a Die Hard fan, and each chapter ends on a cliffhanger... Written in deadpan sentences and funny as can be, this first installment of a projected trilogy left me greedy for more - BloombergA furiously paced tale that cries out to be filmed...such breathless enthusiasm and good humour that it is easy to settle back and devour the book in a single go. Great fun - Canberra Times
