Review
"Is there anyone who can write this kind of book better than Larry Bond? I don't think so. He is the master of the techno-thriller. More than that, he always gives me something to think about. I may be repeating myself when I say he's done it again, but folks, he's done it again."
--William Martin, New Yok Times bestselling author of City of Dreams "The technothriller has a new ace and his name is Larry Bond."
--Tom Clancy, bestselling author of Without Remorse "Action on every page. Maybe in every paragraph."
--Kirkus Reviews on Larry Bond's First Team "[A] fast-paced, complex thriller."
--Publishers Weekly on Larry Bond's First Team: Angels of Wrath "No writer living can produce the depth of political intrigue like Larry Bond."
--Clive Cussler
