Editorial Reviews
Editorial Reviews
“Unmanned
is a deftly crafted and frightening tale, part mystery and part thriller. The
author displays an impressive command of the details of military technology And
given our current debates both over the drone wars and the surveillance state,
the novel could hardly be more timely.” —Stephen L. Carter, New York Times bestselling author of The Emperor of Ocean Park
“Dan Fesperman’s excellent and timely ninth thriller…explore[s] the
ethical conundrums of the most potent new weapon in the American
arsenal: the unmanned aerial drone…Unmanned is
smart and thoughtful exploration of the unintended consequences of
waging war by remote control…What Mr. Fesperman understands is
that in the brave new world of modern warfare, there are complicated
questions with no neat answers.” —Wall Street Journal
“Suspenseful…Will probably tell you more than you’ve learned elsewhere about
the possibilities and dangers of drones…An exciting story, expertly told” —Washington Post
“A paranoia-inducing page-turner, and there’s
even a romance angle if you need one. Multiaward winner Fesperman offers some
definite Jack Reacher moves, and though few match up to Lee Child’s, this work
is right there, minus the physical violence. Essential for fans of Child and
like authors.” —Library Journal (starred review
“[A]
timely thriller…Fesperman delineates the capabilities of
modern drone aircraft in details that evoke wonder as well as chills at
their disturbing implications for personal privacy…The
technical information will keep readers turning the pages up to the
rousing conclusion.” —Publishers Weekly
“Another winner from the author of The Arms Maker of Berlin and The Double Game.” —Booklist
“A timely thriller that brings drone warfare to
the streets of America. There is treachery here—in the government, in big
business, and among the technology geeks who make it all work…a thriller nuanced
with moral ambiguity…Well written and dense with complicity, this is an
action-packed glimpse of intrusive technology in which the good guys never have
clear moral standing.” —Kirkus Reviews
