A tense thriller...recommended. -- Booklist

JAGUAR reminded [me] of...the ability of Ray Bradbury to explore the unknown factors of worlds familiar... -- Sandra Morgan, Fiction Forest

Jaguar "...emerges as a thoroughly competent psychological horror novel, wiht a good deal to say about the corrupting influences of both power and [war]. -- Roland Green

Ransom, best known for his collaborations with the late Frank Herbert, has written an intense and intriguing tale that will keep you rivited to the pages. -- Jeff Scott Smith, Rave Reviews
