"Assassin is the most highly imaginative thriller to come along in a long while. Ted Bell can really, really write."

– James Patterson, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Cross Down

"An international political thriller of the highest order. Intrigue you can sink your teeth into and a secret agent who takes you into the danger zone with a ballsy wit that had me hooked."

– Vince Flynn, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Code Red

"Fascinating characters, a hairpin plot, and wonderfully talented writing. Assassin is what you get when you pair a great story with a great writer."

– Brian Haig, New York Times bestselling author of The Night Crew

"Whether the novel is taken as a grown-up boy's book or a modern thriller, readers will be caught in the whirlwind of action and find themselves having a grand old time....This second entry in the series will help readers better understand the stylistic underpinnings and originality of Bell's larger-than-life hero. Expect numbers to grow with each new addition to the series."

– Publishers Weekly 

"Hawke is the kind of character somebody really should put in a movie: he is smart, resourceful, attractive - everything we want in an action hero. Bell is a nimble writer, and fans of the first Hawke adventure won't want to miss this sequel. New readers will be enthralled and will immediately track down the first novel in the series."

– Booklist

"I love to read books from authors like Clancy, Ludlum, and Flynn. Ted Bell, the author of Assassin, is in that league. His research is so amazing you'd swear the events in the book actually took place. And here's the scary part--they could....If you're going to read just one suspensefull-thrilling-emotional roller coaster-spy novel this summer, you've got to read Assassin by Ted Bell....Make sure you clear some reading time on your schedule...you will not be able to put Assassin down."

– Glenn Beck, New York Times bestselling author
