Revolver

Duane Swierczynski is a much-needed breath of fresh air in the book world…This guy is a great storyteller. I never know what he is going to come up with or where he is going to take me. I just know I won’t be complaining about a thing once I get there.

The premise may be absurd, but it’s good enough to propel the breathless action scenes that make Swierczynski’s cinematic novels so much fun to read - on the couch or on the run. - New York Times

A hip, dead smart novel, an entertaining start to what promises to be an addictive action trilogy - Australian

Harks back to those days when the situations were dire but the delivery was light, in the best possible way. A terrific read - Courier Mail

If non-stop, cool action sequences with fun characters are your thing, you need to read some Swierczynski stories - Wired

The compelling premise pulls all our paranoid strings, and Swierczynski, like a mad scientist twirling dials, ratchets the tension ever tighter… the most unusual thriller series in a long, long time - Booklist

Packs enough indestructible villains to satisfy a Die Hard fan, and each chapter ends on a cliffhanger… Written in deadpan sentences and funny as can be, this first installment of a projected trilogy left me greedy for more - Bloomberg

A furiously paced tale that cries out to be filmed…such breathless enthusiasm and good humour that it is easy to settle back and devour the book in a single go. Great fun - Canberra Times
