Reviews -
Richard Peck’s dazzling Strategy of Terror proves that he can do it all — tell a credible and gripping, page-turning yarn of modern terrorism, create a hero worthy of the name and a richly diverse cast of fully dimensional characters, sensually summon up places (Switzerland, Italy, even old Washington DC) with grace and freshness and authenticity. Be sure to buckle up tight before you start reading. You’re in for a wild and happy ride.

Richard E. Peck’s years as a Marine helicopter pilot and top-level executive have given him experiences few novelists can match. In Strategy of Terror he combines all the elements of the international thriller with the understanding of people and institutions he has acquired from that experience.
Tom Purdom
In Strategy of Terror, Richard Peck presents a thriller that combines a Dan Brown-like protagonist with a Robert Ludlum-like plot. Strategy of Terror is loaded with action and diabolical characters and keeps the reader wondering how the good guys can possibly survive.
