🚨 Publisher's Weekly / Booklife Hails The Compass Room as a “Tense Political Thriller”

I am thrilled to share that The Compass Room has earned a stellar review from BookLife, the indie review arm of Publishers Weekly.

The reviewer highlights the novel's focus on foreign politics, the way world leaders see America, and the fragile architecture of the global order—calling the story "realistic, gritty, and rife with morally grey characters," with George "Daddy Longlegs" Wartmann at the center as a shrewd, tenacious operator willing to cross lines to get things done.

Their official takeaway calls The Compass Room a "tense political thriller that imagines America on the cusp of WWIII."

For those who may not live and breathe book trade news, Publishers Weekly / BookLife and Kirkus Reviews are widely regarded as two of the most important and respected review outlets in publishing. A strong review from either one is hard-won; getting praise from both is truly humbling.

I am deeply grateful to have received such strong responses to The Compass Room from both BookLife and Kirkus Reviews—and to have earned the prestigious Kirkus Star for the series opener, Friendship Games. 

 The Compass Room is available on Amazon in paperback and Kindle, and can be read for free on Kindle Unlimited.  It is available for retailers and libraries via Ingram distribution.
