"Frick’s story offers many twists and turns, and his presentation of the complex relationship between the US, Israel and Iran is intriguing, but it comes too late in the book to give a firm context for the plot. Ultimately, readers will find the makings of a heart-pounding thriller here, but the story requires revision to reach its full potential."

"The appeal of the novel is that many of the characters are not who they appear to be. The book is peopled by informants, crooked cops and undercover cops, and by the end, part of the thrill is parsing out who is who. In clipped, noir-ish prose, Rill adds unexpected twists that deliver beyond the familiar cops-and-crooks scenario."

"As the tax code continues to come under fire from political candidates, tax experts and taxpayers, Tanner’s book is a noble and useful endeavor. It offers a valuable comparison of current tax regulations, proposed reforms and the author’s own “20/20” proposal and is highly recommended for anyone seeking a solid understanding of the tax code."

"Bezgodov offers an admirably thoughtful plan for the underpinnings of his project, and his work would represent a significant entry into the discussion of current environmental issues. Unfortunately, his text is heavily marred by grammatical problems."

"The central mystery of the novel feels more like a thinly veiled conspiracy theory regarding the death of England’s Princess Diana rather than a work of fiction. Once the mystery has wrapped up and the motivations behind the events have been explained rather than revealed, readers are left feeling like they’ve missed most of the adventure."

"Gabe has undertaken an arduous and grim task to convincingly show that the 9-11 attacks, the 2008 global financial crisis (GFC) and the rise of the Islamic State are all intimately linked. His writing is clear and passionate, sprinkled with an occasional clever turn of phrase, but doesn’t cite sources for his “facts” and leaves readers guessing."

"The author envisions the enlightenment of mankind and an end to violence and alienation, through a “Trimodal” synthesis—he calls it an “equilibration”—of warring modes. Trimodology is repetitious and often baffling, but author Besley ably provokes the curious reader’s mind and spirit for 300 pages."

"Irizarry’s impeccably researched debut novel explores how Roger Williams introduced the principle of separation of church and state by founding Rhode Island as a place of religious tolerance...an absorbingly detailed portrait of 17th-century Christendom. As an early proponent of American religious freedom, Williams is worth celebrating."

"Hosun Kang presents an examination of the economic policies and activity that occurred in 2007-2008 and led to the global recession...Kang’s predictions of the global economy may prove valuable, but unless he corrects the writing flaws in future volumes, few readers will make the effort to discover them."

"Richardson’s otherworldly techno-thriller, The Undead President, brings the gruesome concepts behind AMC’s The Walking Dead to the White House...Despite an opportunity to offer readers some gory humor, the novel is straight-laced, treating its global conspiracies, political theater and investigative bravado with a weighty solemnity."

"An African American man reflects on his place in the world in this earnest, if uneven, memoir...while the goal of placing himself in some kind of historical context is a noble one, it becomes forced."
