Review
"A tepid follow-up to The Camel Club, with few surprises." Kirkus Reviews
Review
"Though his two plots converge in a rather contrived way, Baldacci delivers crisp, economical prose and a cast of spies, misfits, and assassins that would make even the most patriotic citizen question the American political system." Booklist
Review
"There is plenty of action, a few tentative romantic passes and a little light philosophizing....David Baldacci set the stage for future escapades of the Camel Club. This series is a winner." Bookreporter.com
