Quotes

John and Kate are a wisecracking, affectionate, deadly duo, with a new resolve born in the tragedy of the World Trade Center bombing. This tour de force of relentless narrative power neither stops nor slows for twists or turns but charges straight ahead in the face of danger. – Publishers Weekly (starred review) A narrator unfamiliar with the earlier novels might have been tempted to employ the kind of insouciant smart-aleck approach that would have turned the character [Corey] into a cartoon figure and flatlined the books suspense[But Scott] Brick sees past the characters wisecracks, tempering his brags and brays with a humanizing hint of self-doubt, suggesting that purpose and simmering anger lurk beneath the glib nonsense. Hes equally adept at catching the villains upper class arrogance and Kates controlled, no-nonsense approach to life. He can switch attitudes and voices in a split second. Brick turns the talky book into an entertaining and effective full-cast comedy-drama. – Publishers Weekly (audio review) Golden Voice Scott Brick proves himself a superb match for bestselling suspense writer Nelson DeMille. With his trademark tones of irony, sarcasm, and self-confidence, Brick brings to life the wisecracking and independent Corey in ways that will make the listener laugh even as the tension builds. Bricks quiet and level tones for the more even-tempered Mayfield make it seem as though there are two narrators at workWinner of the AudioFile Earphones Award. – AudioFile This book is fast-paced and thrillingAn excellent read for a multitude of reasons. Highly recommended. – Library Journal [An] exciting and uncomfortably realistic thrillerThe novel presents a what-if scenario thats so plausible we have to remind ourselves that DeMille is making the whole thing up. Or is he? – Booklist
