novel1 — Fri, 01 Jun 2012 21:25:49 +0000

"A grand slam... Filled with action from beginning to end, Hard Target is Alan Jacobson’s best work to date... While the story is fictional, it’s definitely not farfetched. If you’ve ever wondered about our government’s vulnerabilities, read Hard Target—it’s like shining a spotlight into a dark, dank, mysterious basement: You might be surprised at what you find hiding there."

novel1 — Fri, 22 Jul 2011 21:19:39 +0000

Velocity (Karen Vail #3)

novel1 — Tue, 05 Oct 2010 21:18:02 +0000

“Velocity is a rare and exquisite vintage of the genre, a thriller with heart and soul to go with its proverbial muscle. This is The Silence of the Lambs gone conspiratorial. Think Hannibal Lecter connected to some dastardly, Washington-spawned plot. Now that Thomas Harris’ rare writing has dissolved into drivel, Jacobson seems more than ready to replace him as king of the serial killer form.”
