"Looks like Schutt and Finch are filling the void left by the
passing of Michael Crichton." -- James Cameron,
director/writer/explorer"Schutt and Finch provide a textbook
example of how to make the fantastic easy to buy into with their
superior second Crichton-esque thriller featuring field zoologist
R. J. MacCready." -- Publishers Weekly (starred review)"Bill Schutt
and J.R. Finch are two of the best adventure writers to hit the
scene in a long time. They blend action and science into a read
that opens the door to much, much more. My kind of book!" -- Clive
Cussler, #1 New York Times bestselling author"Looks like Schutt and
Finch are filling the void left by the passing of Michael
Crichton."
-- James Cameron, director/writer/explorer"Hell's Gate has
everything I love in a book: rip-roaring action,
strange-but-authentic science, and characters that pop right off
the page. An adventure that harkens to the glory days of H. Rider
Haggard and H.G. Wells. Warning: Do NOT miss this debut!" -- James
Rollins, #1 New York Times bestselling author on Hell's Gate"This
one pushes the envelope to the edge and beyond, with tension and
imagination that crackles from the first page. A terrific story,
terrifically told. So take a walk on the perilous side, if you
dare." -- Steve Berry, New York Times bestselling author of The
14th Colony on Hell's Gate"Just think Indiana Jones. For that
matter, this yarn evokes more than a few reminders of Stephen King,
Joseph Conrad, and Bram Stoker's Dracula. Fast-moving fun for
thriller readers who enjoy a bit of horror and seeing bad guys get
what's coming to them." -- Kirkus Reviews (starred review) on
Hell's Gate"The authors adeptly balance science and suspense, and a
detailed afterword lays out how much of the story line is based in
history. Michael Crichton fans will be pleased that the ending
leaves room for a sequel." -- Publishers Weekly (starred review) on
Hell's Gate
