English Summary/英文概要： A private security contractor loses it in the Congo, with deadly consequences, while in Ireland the ex-prime minister struggles to write his memoir. A tabloid star is killed in a helicopter crash and three years later a young journalist is warned off the story. As a news story breaks in Paris, a US senator prepares his campaign to run for office. What links these things and who controls what we know? With echoes of John Le Carré, 24 and James Ellroy, Alan Glynn has written another crime novel of and for our times – a ferocious thriller that moves from Dublin to New York via West Africa, and thrillingly explores the legacy of corruption in big business, the West’s fear of China, the fate of ex-military, the role of back room political players, and the quick fix of online news.

很多人觉得《喋血四海》是年度最好的政治惊悚小说，也许他们是对的。小说紧凑的节奏和环环相扣的情节，将读者一步步地引入一个陷阱，让人无比好奇和思考藏在那表面下的真相究竟是什么，就如同一部Adam Curtis的辩论纪实片，却同样充满超现实色彩。

Glynn的小说紧张而刺激。每一行都是剧情的展开和角色的铺设，却不失他优美的语言。《喋血四海》会激起无政府主义者的斗志。

骇人听闻，却让人信服，我已经很久没读过这么环环相扣，剧情巧妙地描绘傲慢和贪婪的故事了。正如出版商所宣称的那样，是对约翰•勒卡雷和詹姆斯•艾罗伊的共鸣，而Glynn拥有其自身独特抓人眼球的才华。——Laura Wilson 《卫报》
一部充满智慧，出色而又引人注目的惊悚小说，而《喋血四海》同时也传达着严肃的观点，我们不该忘记，一部好的惊悚小说在娱乐观众的同时，也能引发他们的思考，而这确实是一部很有娱乐性的小说。——《爱尔兰时报》
