Here’s some of the Praise for Cluster of Lies from the professional book reviewers:
“In his novels Blind Thrust and Cluster of Lies, Samuel Marquis vividly combines the excitement of the best modern techno-thrillers, an education in geology, and a clarifying reminder that the choices each of us make have a profound impact on our precious planet.”
—Ambassador Marc Grossman, Former U.S. Under Secretary of State
“With Cluster of Lies, Marquis continues to keep me awake at night. I enjoy how he blends together science and his knack for storytelling to craft an insightful and entertaining tale. He causes me to stop and think, then jump right back into the action.”
—Roy R. Romer, 39th Governor of Colorado
“In Cluster of Lies, Samuel Marquis touches all the bases. He starts with a murder and the action doesn’t let up until the very last page in this compelling environmental thriller that is often uncomfortably realistic.”
—Charles Salzberg, Author of The Henry Swann Detective Series
“Cluster of Lies by Samuel Marquis is an entertaining and unpredictable thriller that kick-starts and shows no signs of slowing….This is a boisterous mystery with an intellectual backbone.“
—Foreword Reviews – 4-Star Review
“With Blind Thrust, Cluster of Lies, and his other works, Samuel Marquis has written true breakout novels that compare favorably with—and even exceed—recent thrillers on the New York Times Bestseller List. [He is] constantly tightening plot, character, and upping the stakes and tension to make sure that they are genuinely great stories.”
—Pat LoBrutto, Former Editor for Stephen King and Eric Van Lustbader (Bourne Series)
“Marquis is a master of dialogue in this thriller with a social conscience. Deftly taking on the mystery of a cancer cluster at the Dakota Ranch outside Denver, Cluster of Lies is an action-packed page-turner. And, “warts and all,” geologist Joe Higheagle is a new American hero who won’t stop until justice is served.”
—Kelly Oliver, Author of The Jessica James Mysteries, Wolf and Coyote
“In today’s environmentally challenged world, Joe Higheagle is the man I want in my corner. Well-written, fast paced, Samuel Marquis’ Cluster of Lies is a must read thriller.”
—Debra H. Goldstein, Author of Should Have Played Poker
“Cluster of Lies takes you into seamy nether regions, where greed and subterfuge prey on good people’s ignorance and government inattention. It takes a potent and imperfect hero to save an imperfect world, and Joe Higheagle’s on point. Buckle in for an action-packed enviro-thriller filled with fear and loathing.”
—Prof. J.R. Welch, Author/Editor of Dispatches from the Fort Apache Scout: White Mountain and Cibecue Apache History Through 1881
