"Hartov makes a smashing debut with this well-crafted, provocative political thriller, written with an insider's accuracy."
- Publishers Weekly
"Steven Hartov knows and understands the world of international counter-terrorism, and he has used that knowledge to create a gripping, richly detailed, and impressive first novel. This is no techo-thriller concocted by some armchair generalissimo. This is the real stuff."
- Jonathan Kellerman, Author
"This skillfully plotted and richly textured narrative captures the human dimension as well as the technology and politics of covert operations."
