Shamelessly escapist fun - Seattle Times The orange wetsuit, that gun pose, the comma of hair above the eye - stop twisting my arm, Hard Case! - Birth. Movies. Death unexpected treat...a posthumous bonus fans will cherish - Kirkus Reviews There are real Bond villains in this ever-changing world in which we live in. But there is no James Bond. It's up to us to stop them. Or join them. Or be destroyed and/or ruled by them. There are no other choices. -The Westlake Review great fun to read...and speculate on what a Westlake-written Bond movie might have been like. A newly discovered novel by one of the true grand masters of the genre is always a cause for celebration. - Booklist great stuff. Hugely recommended Atomic Junk Shop This is not the first time Hard Case Crime has published a neglected or forgotten work by Westlake. So we are again in their debt for gracing us with another reason to both mourn the loss and celebrate this incredibly talented author - and spend another few hours in his creative company. - Bookgasm Hard Case Crime has another winner. Noir Journal my favorite posthumous Westlake so far and a fun read Dangerous Dan's Book blog it's a bitch that we didn't get a Donald Westlake James Bond film starring Pierce Brosnan, but for me, we got something even better...a brand-new Westlake novel. Criminal Element An excellent thriller that, paired with the afterword, offers a revealing look at the inner workings of the Bond machine and there are certainly plenty of us who care about that. It's also a must-read for Westlake fans. - Military.com FOREVER AND A DEATH is worthy of an audience beyond Westlake completists. Even if Westlake is treading in somewhat unfamiliar waters here, his trademark setups are present, and frequently so. - BookReporter Highly recommended and one of the best reads of 2017 Borg.com a fantastic take on what an action thriller that dares to think outside of the box can be The Crime Review ukryj opis
