Trade Review
Scalzi is one of the slickest writers that SF has ever produced * Wall Street Journal *
Will keep you obsessively turning the pages until you are either fired or kicked out of bed. This is the kind of thriller that Michael Crichton, Lincoln Child, and James Rollins do so well. Add John Scalzi to that list -- Douglas Preston on Lock In
John Scalzi is the most entertaining, accessible writer working in SF today -- Joe Hill on John Scalzi
Scalzi is a master at creating appealing commercial fiction * Kirkus Reviews (starred review) *
Gripping and surpassingly original. It's Starship Troopers without the lectures
