“Only a handful of writers today can match Hunter for imagination and the ability to make a reader’s adrenaline rush.”
“FILLED WITH DETAIL, CLEVER PLOTTING, SUSPENSE AND A HUNT TO THE DEATH THAT LEAVES THE READER DRY-MOUTHED WITH TENSION. Hunter knows his guns, and he writes about them with a precision that holds the attention of even a fervent anti-gun supporter.”
“THE SUSPENSE IN BLACK LIGHT IS A KILLER … Hunter has created powerful criminal characters.”
“ONE OF THE MOST SKILLED HANDS IN THE THRILLER BUSINESS. The plot is fast-paced, well-constructed and builds to a pulse-pounding night ambush … it should seal his reputation as an author who not only can write bestselling thrillers, but write them exceedingly well.”
“CALL THIS ONE A MAN’S THRILLER.”
“HUNTER IS ONCE AGAIN AT THE TOP OF THE GENRE’S FORM … THE BEST STRAIGHT-UP THRILLER WRITER AT WORK TODAY.”
“[Hunter has] done for the rifle what Tom Clancy did for the nuclear submarine.”
“BLACK LIGHT IS A GREAT READ. THE PLOT IS AS STEALTHY AS A TRUE SNIPER.”
