REVIEWS
“Malfi提供了一個直接的人類對抗惡劣元素的冒險故事，並且人成為了其中最危險的元素。”
“Malfi delivers a nearly straightforward adventure story of man against the elements with man being the most dangerous element of all." ~ Publishers Weekly
“這是一個引人入勝的驚悚片,類似Gerald Petievich（Petievich曾是個特工，後來改行做了記者）的小說，但是情感更加深沉，內容更加深刻。。作者以前的書使他一致好評, 贏得了一批規模不大但忠實的讀者;而這一點足以把他推向主流。”
“ This is a gripping thriller, similar to the novels of Gerald Petievich, the Secret Service agent turned author, but with more emotional and moral depth. The author’s previous books have garnered him acclaim and a small but devoted audience; this one could easily lift him into the mainstream.” ~ David Pitt, Booklist (June 2009)
“Malf就像一位偉大的紀實藝術家，帶給我們身臨其境的感覺。”
“Malfi, like the great documentarians, really makes us feel as though we are there.” ~ David Pitt, Booklist (July 2010)
“内容详细而富有神秘感，我迫不及待地想要知道Tim究竟发生了什么事情。”
“Richly detailed and filled with mysteries. . . . I couldn’t wait to find out what was happening to Tim.” ~ Urban Bachelorette (July 2010)
