—Ward Larsen, USA Today bestselling author of Cutting Edge and winner of six major literary awards
“Bombs away! Look out below! Pull up your bootstraps! And run for cover! Bob Gleason offends … everyone. He might even offend you too, but he’ll entertain the hell out of you at the same time, because this book is a rare thing: A blood-curdling thriller, too, written with a kind of headlong verbal velocity that makes it impossible to put down. Read it. Tonight. But remember, ANY resemblance to actual persons, living or dead, is purely coincidental.”
—William Martin, New York Times bestselling author of The Lincoln Letter
“As bold a book as you’ll find this year, combines a thrilling, right-in-the-moment epic with a profound grasp of global issues. Gleason writes with tremendous energy and flair, and the velocity of the plot combined with devilish characterizations and insider savvy, competes easily with the most vivid headlines of our time. A lion’s roar of a book that recalls the great adventure novels of the past—while remaining powerfully contemporary. Well done!”
—Ralph Peters, three-time winner of the W. Y. Boyd Literary Award and New York Times bestselling author of Judgment at Appomattox
