""Praised as more than a match for John le Carre, Freemantle will not disappoint readers." --"Library Journal
""If Brian Freemantle isn't the best writer of spy novels around, he's certainly, along with John le Carre, in the top two. . . . It doesn't get much better than this." "--The Philadelphia Inquirer
""His thrillers . . . are both sleek and tough, filled with gritty characters and superb plotting."" --Chicago Tribune
""Impossible to put down . . . marvelous . . . real genius."" --The Washington Post

Praise for "Red Star Falling"
"In Freemantle's latest sophisticated spy thriller, the Muffin man remains a compelling figure, even in convalescent mode." --"Kirkus Reviews
""The author again wickedly portrays the appalling internecine struggles between MI5 and MI6, yet retains a more sober vantage that the cold war is unending." --Crime Book Beat
Praise for "Red Star Burning"
"This is le Carre territory, to be sure--think "The Russia House" (1989)--and Freemantle hits every note perfectly in dramatizing the fundamental conflict between individual values and institutional machinations. On top of that, he constructs an airtight plot, full of backpedaling twists, that leads to a stunning cliffhanger of a finale." --"Booklist" (starred review)
"A terrific story. ... At least a double cross is on, if not a triple, and there's genuine suspense in the unfolding origami." --"Kirkus Reviews
""Freemantle has written a tense and entertaining scramble." --"Library Journal"
