"This thriller is something that will keep you guessing as you follow Jack through his journey. Eisenberg has written a solid debut novel that showcases a character struggling to understand who he is and find out more about someone he never knew existed. With so much uncertainty for Jack the story will seem to go back remarkably quickly as you race to find out more as you read. If you are looking for a read full of intrigue to start your year this is a book you will want to check out.”
—The Nerdy Girl Express
"What a cool book. This book had a little bit of everything, a little bit of coming-of-age for Jack, a little lost love kind of thing, a little thriller, a little secret national security operations, it was just a whole lot of stuff, easily packed into one book. I easily finished this one in a day because each chapter is fairly short but written in a way that you keep telling yourself you're going to just read one more."
