PRAISE FOR ROBINSON

"There's nothing timid about Robinson as he drops his readers off the cliff without a parachute and somehow manages to catch us an inch or two from doom." -- Jeff Long, New York Times bestselling author of THE DESCENT

"Greek myth and biotechnology collide in Robinson's first in a new thriller series to feature the Chess Team... Robinson will have readers turning the pages..." -- Publisher's Weekly

"Jeremy Robinson’s THRESHOLD is one hell of a thriller, wildly imaginative and diabolical, which combines ancient legends and modern science into a non-stop action ride that will keep you turning the pages until the wee hours. Relentlessly gripping from start to finish, don’t turn your back on this book!" -- Douglas Preston, NY Times bestselling author of IMPACT and BLASPHEMY

"Jeremy Robinson is an original and exciting voice." -- Steve Berry, NY Times bestselling author of THE EMPEROR'S TOMB

"Jeremy Robinson is a fresh new face in adventure writing and will make a mark in suspense for years to come." --David Lynn Golemon, NY Times bestselling author of LEGEND and EVENT

PRAISE FOR TALBOT

“2012: The Fifth World shows what happens when myth, faith, and science collide. The result is a gripping page-turner that doesn't let up until the very world is pushed to the brink of destruction.”-- Michael Wallace, top 20 Amazon bestselling author of THE RIGHTEOUS.

"Edward G. Talbot expertly blends ancient mystery with modern thriller. The end result is a book you won't be able to put down until you've turned the final page!"-- DAVID WOOD, author of QUEST and CIBOLA

"NEW WORLD ORDERS will make you question everything you have ever been told by the system..it will suck you in from the very beginning and linger long in your thoughts after you finish the last page."-- James Melzer, author of HULL'S LANDING and ESCAPE
