Editorial Reviews

"Breathless entertainment!"

The Associated Press

"Few writers handle action as excitingly as Hall ... The dialogue is crisp and cryptic, with Quiller's thoughts tossed in at random, keeping the reader on his toes."
- The Houston Chronicle on QUILLER KGB

The Houston Chronicle

(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."

London Times Literary Supplement

"When it comes to espionage fiction, Adam Hall has no peer."
- Eric Van Lustbader, author of "The Ninja"
