"[McCarry has] put not only his sprightly writing style to good use but also his nuanced feel for the worlds of espionage and electoral politics. The final product is a marvelous mix of elements of the Drudge Report, The Manchurian Candidate and Primary Colors on steroids."
Wall Street Journal
"Darkly entertaining…a corrosively penetrating view of the contemporary cultural ethos."
New York Times
"In a novel full of puppets and puppeteers, it is McCarry who controls all the strings-and he does it with practiced hands that are also daring. McCarry is a more profound moralist than any of his characters, and the most politically astute of all."
