—Tribune and Times (Tampa, Florida)
“Relic is a straight thriller. That’s like saying, however, that Die Hard was just another action adventure flick or that Gone With the Wind was just another Civil War film. Each stands as a superlative example of its type.”
—Orlando Sentinel
“Relic is as good as this type of novel gets.”
—Hartford Courant
“A high-concept, high-energy thriller … Builds to a superbly exciting climax, and then offers a final twist to boot.”
—Publishers Weekly
