Reviews

Easily the darkest, hippest thriller to come along in a couple of years.Fast and sharp from beginning to end, The Killers Game gives new meaning to the phrase non-stop action. Chicago Tribune Bonansinga sets a new record for breakneck pacing in this tongue-in-cheek thriller... sure to make those long train and plane rides go by in a flash. Publishers Weekly A high-octane romp through Americas favorite genre, the chase movie, with a suitably cataclysmic climax [and] a deliciously exotic cast of international assassins... serious entertainment. The Times (London) Bonansingas story hurtles across the page... The Killers Game is a classic case of Catch 22 that will keep you peeling the pages faster and faster. Milwaukee Journal Sentinel
