Recensione:

"This is a wonderfully well written book, a sophisticated story of political intrigue, conspiracy, and treachery. Reich's evocation of post-war Germany in ruins has an uncanny sense of you-are-there; a trip into virtual reality--the author is a master of moody atmosphere and historic detail. A fascinating look at the world that existed between the hot war and the cold war, populated by larger-than-life characters who gamble for incredibly high stakes."
--Nelson DeMille, author of Lion's Game

"[Reich] keeps the pages turning."
--The Detroit Free Press

"A hefty thriller, authentic-seeming in historical fact and...as irresistible as a big postwar Technicolor movie."
--The Wall Street Journal

"Dark and tough and extremely entertaining...[The Runner] has one of the most audacious twists ever tacked on to the end of an already satisfying story."
--Daily News (New York)

"The best thing about this novel is its evocation of the terrible chaos of war-shattered Europe during the first few months after V-E Day....[the hero's] search for his brother's killer turns into a race against time for the fate of Europe."
--The Chicago Sun-Times
