媒體評論
"As in such page-turning thrillers as Hour Game and Split Second, David Baldacci knows how to keep the reader thoroughly engrossed, and never loses the capacity to surprise us with the revelations that his beleaguered hero and heroine become party to. This is one of the longest Baldacci books, weighing in at nearly 600 pages, and there are lengthy appendices after the novel proper has finished. These may not retrospectively add to the appeal of the book of the reader has just finished, but they show that Baldacci has -- as always -- done his homework. "
--Barry Forshaw
“在這樣的驚險小說比賽,本一小時Baldacci一剎那,大衛知道怎樣保持讀者徹底全神關注、永不會使我們感到驚奇的能力與啟示,他成為包圍的男女主人公聚會。這是最長的一個Baldacci書籍、重達近600頁,還有漫長的附錄小說後適當的工作已完成。這些可能不是回顧性增添了抗訴的這本書的讀者剛剛結束,但是他們已經表明,Baldacci——一如既往——做他的家庭作業。“
