  48. ABOUT THE AUTHOR

Praise for
MARTIN CRUZ SMITH
and
STALLION GATE

“Smith, master craftsman of the good read, has given us another dandy.”

Los Angeles Times

“Smith’s dialogue is fresh, his pace unflagging.”

People

(more)

“That Smith succeeds by keeping us fascinated is largely owing to his invention of Sergeant Joe Peña.… With his deadpan wit and tough-guy-who’s-got-a-soft-touch manner, Joe is STALLION GATE’s secret weapon: He keeps us guessing all the way to ground zero.”

Glamour

“There are plenty of rewards in this novel.… The strength of STALLION GATE is in … the wonderful descriptions of the land and the people, the contrasts between nature and the forces that have set out to conquer it.”

The Boston Globe

“A towering novel … leaves a lasting impact on the reader. This is a monumental thriller in which the tormented Oppenheimer, Edward Teller, General Leslie Groves, and other historic figures live again.”

Publishers Weekly

“A historical novel of great weight and merit … more compelling as an act of imagination … Smith skillfully blends fact and fiction to re-create the tense yet exhilarating atmosphere in which the team of scientists tries to channel the atom’s power into a weapon of unprecedented destruction.”

San Francisco Chronicle
