"A high-octane tale of deception."" -Entertainment Weekly"
"A tense spy thriller, with a smart, sexy heroine, international danger and yes, a love interest.... ["Blowback"] reads like Clancy, Cussler, or Ludlum...Destined to become another great part of American literary fiction." "-The Huffington Post "
"A classic spy tale." "-The Daily Beast "
"A fine, fast-moving spy saga.... Pierson emerges as a smart, sexy action hero, a kind of James Bond with high heels, short skirts and a Glock in her purse....Check out this seductive spy; she's likely to be around for a while." -"The Washington Post"
"I couldn't put it down! "Blowback "is beautifully written, incredibly well-informed and an amazing treatment of profound female courage. This is not even a genre I follow--but this book transcends genre." -Naomi Wolf
"""A tightly wound, vigorously deployed thriller echoing the real-life stories of CIA agents and their enemies." -"Library Journal "(starred)

"""Want to read a thriller about the "real "CIA and how it actually works? Then dive into this corker from former agent Valerie Plame and Sarah Lovett." --James Patterson
"Great storytelling, real insider authenticity, and above all a fascinating main character in Vanessa Pierson. And maybe those initials are not a coincidence--sometimes fiction can reveal things that nonfiction can't." --Lee Child
"Plame and Lovett have hit a home run in their fiction debut.... "Blowback "is an outstanding addition to the thriller genre and ushers in a writing team that I hope will enthrall us for years to come." --David Baldacci
"One wild ride, a riveting cat-and-mouse game set within the world of international terrorism, covert operations, blackmarket WMDs, and brutal assassinations. Plame and Lovett know their stuff cold and have written a realistic, vivid, fast moving story full of shocking twists and unexpected turns. This is truly an epic thriller--the first in what promises to be a fantastic series. I highly recommend it." --Douglas Preston
""Blowback "is a stunning debut novel by former CIA agent Valerie Plame and suspense writer Sarah Lovett--a thriller rich with international intrigue and details of spycraft and secret ops that only an insider could bring to the genre. It's a well-told tale of high stakes and lives on the line, starring a brilliant, edgy protagonist I can't wait to see more of. A powerful read." --Linda Fairstein
"With an alpha female heroine and a plot as familiar as her own backyard, "Blowback "is a stunning debut. Here's to many more." -Steve Berry
