"A fast-paced adventure thriller set in the near future in Mexico, The Lazarus Drop combines the old "Sam Spade" narrative with modern technology. Nathaniel Blue, the hero, steals the show with his good/bad guy, very human personality . . . I fell in love with Blue; I hope we haven't seen the last of him."—S. Joan Popek, Reviewer
