The thrills hit unnervingly close to home in Follett s latest white-knuckler. San Francisco Chronicle

Riveting . . . taut plotting, tense action, skillful writing, and myriad unexpected twists make this one utterly unputdownable. Booklist (starred review)

A model of how a thriller ought to be written. Follett keeps it crisp and rachets up the tension. . . . Time speeds up as the danger escalates. Los Angeles Times

Follett does a first-class job of creating a fictional universe and then inviting the reader to live in it. His substantial research pays off as well, because he writes about the world of earthquakes with the same authority he displays when discussing the technical aspects of the FBI s inner workings. Newark Star-Ledger

Amazing . . . Hollywood could have some fun with The Hammer of Eden. Orlando Sentinel
