PRAISE FOR RUNNER:

“Patrick Lee is a huge talent and Runner is his best book yet—breathless, involving, smart, and completely convincing.” –Lee Child

 

“Pure adrenaline rush! Finally, an action-packed novel brimming with complex characters as well as genuine heart.  Not to be missed.” –Lisa Gardner, New York Times bestselling author of Touch and Go and Catch Me


“I’m going to sue Patrick Lee for giving me whiplash: that’s how furiously paced this book is. A terrific cast of characters, unrelenting action—strap in and enjoy the ride.” –Jesse Kellerman, author of Sunstroke and Trouble:


“This is a thriller done right. It literally begs to be read in one sitting. I said it before and I'll say it again. Patrick Lee is the real deal.” –Steve Berry, New York Times bestselling author of The Amber Room and The Columbus Affair


OTHER PRAISE FOR PATRICK LEE: 

“It's all here: brilliantly devious enemies; nifty, innovative gadgets and weaponry; hang-on-to-your-hat action; and razor-sharp plot twists aplenty.” –Publishers Weekly (starred review) on The Breach

“WOW! Double Wow! Starkly original…the techno-thriller meets sci-fi, and the result is mind-blowing.” –Stephen Coonts

“Patrick Lee is in a word: Brilliant. Less a novel, than an adventure, it left me breathless and awed. It's explosive, innovative and ultimately mind-blowing. Pure exhilaration from the first page to the last.” –James Rollins

“Settle back and savor this one. Patrick Lee has an intense brand of storytelling. The real deal. I look forward to reading more from him.” –Steve Berry, New York Times bestselling author of The Emperor's Tomb

“Marvelous…smoothly combines the pulse-pounding suspense of the TV show 24 with the SF intrigues of the X-Files.”  –Publishers Weekly (starred review) on Deep Sky

“Lee imaginatively blends a Baldacci-like political tale of betrayals and assassination with time travel in a thoughtful science-fictional thriller.” –Publishers Weekly on Ghost Country 

“A fantastic read, The Breach…introduces us to what might be the next Bourne-worthy series. Our synopsis: The Breach is as terrifying as it is action packed. Result? Page turner.” –Gear Patrol

“Lee’s writing, stark and swift, only gets better as the story gathers speed.” –Men's Journal on The Breach

“A must-read thriller… Think James Rollins, Michael Crichton and some Lee Child thrown in for good measure. Yeah, Patrick Lee is that good.” –Examiner.com
