"The one to beat this year in the nail-biter class...an edge-of-the-seat doomsday countdown thriller." Krentz
"Whether heroes of villains or something in between, his people possess a convincing individuality of speech, thought, and action, a personal context that makes them recognizable and comprehensible....[Stephen Hunter displays] a truly astonishing command of scientific, technical, military, political, and historical information."
