A dynamite thriller filled with all the elements that have made his previous works phenomenal bestsellers, The Sky Is Falling is Sidney Sheldon at his sizzling best.

Media Reviews

Boston Herald Springs one surprise after another, page after irresistible page.   People Magazine The master of the bestselling game.   New York Daily News When you want a novel you simply cannot put down, go to Sheldon.   Library Journal The book has pretty flimsy character development, a feeble plot line, and an ending that hardly surprises. Yet it works. From the first page, the reader is caught up in the snappy and suspenseful chapters, which become inescapably addictive.   Publishers Weekly Efficiently brisk and reliably suspenseful, Sheldon's 17th novel demonstrates that this veteran master of commercial fiction has not lost his touch.
