Review:
Los Angeles Times
"In the best tradition of the new espionage novel. Kaplan's grasp of history and scene creates a genuine reality. He seems to know every back alley of Damascus and Cyprus."
Hartford Courant
"A fine, taut, tense spy story full of furious action."
St Louis Post-Dispatch
"It's suspense all the way through."
Chicago Daily News
"Exceedingly rich in color about the Syrian capital."
BBC News
"The plotting is beautiful."
Kirkus Review
"... a smartly paced criss-cross laced with enough Mid-East semicruises to snare the MacInness armchair tourists."
American Library Association (starred review)
"A mission inside Syria, a last love affair, and the unfolding of the plot within a plot are handled by the author with skill and a sure sense of the dramatic."

US Review of Books
"Kaplan spins an intricately nuanced plot that bobs and weaves between trepidation and treachery. He paces his tale with the speed and skill of a Formula 1 driver. Yet he never rushes the details of time, place, and atmosphere. His writing style is admirably spare, revealing just enough to make us ask questions and want to know more. Between his pages brutality shares space with intimacy, and we are reminded that both action and inaction have consequences. Originally penned in 1977, Kaplan's narrative never feels dated, which is proven by the fact that some forty years later it has now been turned into a major motion picture. If the film is only half as good as the novel, it will be more than worth the price of admission."
