"Simmons breaks the rules with literary flair and creative imagination while delivering the thrills and chills that genre readers expect. With generous helpings of gallows humor and over-the-top action, DARWIN'S BLADE should be a smash".San Antonio Express-News

Darwin Minor earns his living by reconstructing car accidents for insurance companies, but his examination of a collision near Los Angeles spirals into an investigation of a string of high-speed wrecks. Someone is killing a lot of people, and Dar's investigations place him high on the hit list. Tracked by Russian assassins, Dar draws on hidden resources to survive. With his girlfriend, the state's chief investigator, he sets a trap for them. The ensuing shootout delivers all that could be expected. Simmons made his name on horror thrillers, but in Darwin's Blade, he shows a knack as well for the high-tech, high-voltage action thriller. Offering an appealing hero and heroine, deadly villains, zippy dialog, and high-tech weaponry and expertise, this is, most of all, a hair-raising adventure to satisfy the most discriminating reader. Heartily recommended for all general collections.ÄDavid Keymer, California State Univ., Stanislaus Copyright 2000 Cahners Business Information.
