Review by: A G on July 29, 2012 :
I agree with what almost everyone says about the series: the writing and characters are excellent (and addictive!). Content-wise, I am frequently reminded of a cross between X-Files & Criminal Minds.

Review by: CGMullin on Jan. 05, 2012 :
The great thing about all the Shadow Unit books is the characters. There are 9 main characters, and these are all real, fully-realized people. All the writers for the show-- Bull, Bear, Shetterly Bobet,Downum, Polk-- are published professionals. This really IS "the best TV show you've never seen." IF you buy volume one, you WILL want to go on reading. As I write, there are 10 volumes, with an 11th promised Real Soon Now.

Review by: Alice Shipman on July 30, 2011 :
An amazing book. While the description tells you what the book is built around, it's who you're reading about that really makes this wonderful. A whole host of well-developed, distinct and compelling characters, dealing with fascinating issues.
