Editorial Reviews

"Hall has created a new form: the spy thriller that is all action and yet cerebral, a writing feat few can match."

The Boston Globe

"Quiller is by now a primary reflex."

Kirkus Reviews

(Quiller is) "the greatest survival expert among contemporary secret agents."

The New York Times

"Tension in a novel is difficult to maintain at a pitch that actually creates a physical impact on the reader. A few of the best writers can do it, and among them is Adam Hall."
