Riveting, jaw-dropping, stranger and more terrifying than fiction
Daily Telegraph
Life is what happens between Michael Lewis books. I forgot to breathe while reading The Fifth Risk' Michael Hofmann
TLS, Books of the Year
Stunning
Josh Glancy, Sunday Times
The characters are riveting, and the drama intense ... paints a picture of America being not just pulled apart at the political seams, but in the very fabric of the government itself
Harriet Alexander, Daily Telegraph
Exciting, entertaining, darkly funny
Jennifer Szalai, The New York Times
Readable and compelling ... a horrific catalogue of all the things that can go wrong if a government takes its eye off the ball ... We should all be frightened
Brooke Masters, Financial Times
Praise for The Fifth Risk
