Media Reviews

"Harry is an intriguing addition to the ranks of the genre's reluctant spies, and readers will eagerly await his next adventure." - Publishers Weekly

"Starred Review. The nail-biting suspense, high-octane action, and keep-'em-guessing plot set this book apart from the usual spy thriller, but it's smart, tough, fearless, quick-thinking superspook Harry Tate who puts it in a whole other league. Superb!" - Booklist

"The plotting is intricate, the black hats and white hats are hard to distinguish, and the action is intense and fast-paced." - Library Journal
