Summary: You won't be able to put this book down!
Review: "Quicksilver" is one of those books that you can't put down. The action is non-stop and the plot twists are full of surprises. There is no predicting how this thriller will end.I think sometimes books should be read with the reader thinking about the story and not about who will play the parts in a movie. Furthermore, I don't remember there being asteroids or viruses in "Icefire."

Summary: Action-packed thriller
Review: The new, but untested QUICKSILVER satellite is intended to work as a deterrent system that renders the enemy's electronic-based weaponry obsolete. Air Force Major General Milo Vanovich, the driving force behind the system's development, watches the initial deployment test, which turns into a disaster that leaves all the individuals in the Ticonderoga Carrier Shiloh dead. Six months later, a terrorist group takes control of the Pentagon while the President is visiting. They demand Milo be handed over to them or they will begin killing the occupants, including the President. The leader of the terrorists starts to learn the top military secrets, which force Pentagon insiders to prepare to take whatever action is necessary to insure the nation's enemies never obtain this data. Quickly, following on the heels of the heated thriller, ICEFIRE, Judith and Garfield Reeves-Stevens pen another exciting suspense novel that has movie stamped all over it. Fans of the "Die Hard" series will take pleasure from the non-stop action. Though the pace leaves little room for character development, readers will be too busy taking the supersonic ride to care. QUICKSILVER is clearly a gold medal winner. Harriet Klausner

Summary: "Die Hard" at the Pentagon
Review: A highly enjoyable action-thriller, basically "Die Hard" at the Pentagon. It delivers on the slam-bang excitement that you'd expect from a novel of this sort. I only had two problems: 1) the female midshipman character was unlikable, and I could not buy her suddenly becoming Miss Die Hard without any actual combat experience. 2) The cliche of the hero being forced to work with his ex-wife/ex-lover. Puh-leeze! Wasn't the situation tense enough? But, overall, it was a great read!

Summary: THE Next Generation Techno-Thriller HAS Arrived!
Review: After Clancy invented the techno-thriller with the debut of 'The Hunt For Red October' in the 80's, I was wondering if/when someone would take it to the next level...well Judith & Garfield Reeves-Stevens' has done for the techno-thriller what they did with Star Trek books: they re-wrote the textbook on HOW it SHOULD be written. Solid storytelling that isn't just exciting, but thought-provoking at the same time...characters you can identify with, and a bad guy who is as cool as they come. The idea of taking over The Pentagon is definitely something that in reality IS probably impossible to pull off, but these guys make it sound like not only COULD it happen, but it just MIGHT one day... Moving from scene to scene with seamless ease and leaving you guessing what is gonna happen next and the action sequences are as choreographed as a Jackie Chan fight scene...right down to the smallest of details. Virtually nothing is overlooked in this absolute riviting thriller -- in fact the only thing that struck me as I finished this was WHEN are they going to come out with ANOTHER book? They have entered this arena as virtual unknowns, but they have proven themselves as worthy in the literary world of action as anyone...and clearly superior to MOST of what is peddled these days as good fiction. Not just a good book...not just fun...but exceptionally so. Highly Recommended.

Summary: Somewhat disappointed
Review: After reading and throughly enjoying ICEFIRE, I eagerly awaited QuickSilver. I was somewhat disappointed. This book no way matches the characters, plot, and excitement of Icefire.

Summary: correction of Kirkus Reviews
Review: From Kirkus Reviews Disaster looms again in the Reeves-Stevens's latest thriller, following the threat of asteroid impact and superviruses of 1998's Icefire I was puzzled upon reading this because there were no viruses or asteriods in Icefire. I decided to look at Icefires's reviews and sure enough the review read that the only thing missing was viruses and asteriods. Apparently the reviewer did not bother to read Icefire, but decided to read it's review instead and misquoted it.
