“The Bookworm is that very rare, almost extinct thriller: well plotted, intelligent as hell, with a truly memorable main character―'Lara The Bookworm.’ This is definitely sterling Silver!”
- James Patterson, #1 New York Times bestselling author
“The historical frame, including an alternate view of why Germany turned its wartime focus from England to the USSR, proves fascinating; the pace is agreeably fast; and the intelligent, capable Klimt makes an engaging lead character.”
- Booklist
“It is a masterpiece of speculative revisionism and in this aspect a captivating read, a romp.”
- The Washington Times
“This is fast and fun, with one of the best McGuffins I’ve ever seen. An exciting tale and very nearly as bizarre as some of the things Allied Intelligence did try during the war.”
- Historical Novels Review
“I devoured it. It combines elements of a political thriller and a historical novel. A thrill-filled surprise, which keeps you in awe of developments.”
- Book Notes by Athina
“A fascinating read for both conspiracy theorists and thriller fans.”
- Bookloons
“Phenomenal. Seizing my attention from the very first page, The Bookworm kept me captivated and swiftly turning pages in nail-biting anticipation of the final resolution. The Bookworm is one of the best political thrillers I have had the pleasure to read, and I recommend it highly to fans of this exciting genre.”
- Fresh Fiction
“High-speed chases, explosions, gunfights, murders and questionable romantic encounters add to the book’s action. An intriguing ‘what if’ adventure about Hitler and WWII.”
- Reviewing the Evidence
“This is fast and fun, with one of the best McGuffins I’ve ever seen...it’s an exciting tale...”
- Historical Novel Society
“Hold on to your seats, readers, because this is a thrill ride of a story, made even more exciting because it’s all so current and feels very real. I really liked the character of Dr. Larissa Klimt...she’s as complex as the story she is telling. It will definitely satisfy the appetite of the conspiracy theorists out there, and it’s a good mystery too.”
