ReviewsPraise for THE STRIKER "Fans of the Isaac Bell series will note the same exciting storytelling and vivid early twentieth-century setting, but they'll also note something different: even though it's set only four years earlier than the first Bell novel (2008's The Chase ), the book features a much different Isaac: younger, more impetuous, less calmly analytical . . . this origin story (every hero needs one) will give Bell's fans a fresh look at their favorite private investigator."- Booklist Praise for the Isaac Bell Adventures "Bell is a superb action hero who moves elegantly and lethally through the period." - Library Journal "Bell just keeps getting more interesting. Cussler is turning out some of his best work." - Booklist, Praise for the Isaac Bell Adventures: "Bell is a superb action hero who moves elegantly and lethally through the period." - Library Journal "Bell just keeps getting more interesting. Cussler is turning out some of his best work." - Booklist, Praise for THE STRIKER "[Might] be the best yet in the series by Clive Cussler and Justin Scott . . . The history of the unions in early 20th-century America along with the hazardous working conditions of the coal mines would be fascinating reading. Add a James Bond style flair with sabotage and villainy and the end result is a great action thriller."- Associated Press "Fans of the Isaac Bell series will note the same exciting storytelling and vivid early twentieth-century setting, but they'll also note something different: even though it's set only four years earlier than the first Bell novel (2008's The Chase ), the book features a much different Isaac: younger, more impetuous, less calmly analytical . . . this origin story (every hero needs one) will give Bell's fans a fresh look at their favorite private investigator."- Booklist Praise for the Isaac Bell Adventures: "Bell is a superb action hero who moves elegantly and lethally through the period." - Library Journal "Bell just keeps getting more interesting.

Given exactly one week to prove his case, Bell quickly finds himself pitted against two of the most ruthless opponents he has ever known, men of staggering ambition and cold-bloodedness . . . who are not about to let some wet-behind-the-ears detective stand in their way.", Detective Isaac Bell returns in the remarkable new adventure in the #1 New York Timesbestselling series.
