Reception
Publishers Weekly, reviewing the 2013 reprint, praised its "vividly visceral scenes", but faulted it for "obvious twists", and plotlines that "fizzle" in a "rushed, anticlimactic ending".[2] Don D'Ammassa considered it to be "the most gripping of McCammon's early novels";[3] however, literary scholar Neil McRobert found it to be "unrepresentative of McCammon's oeuvre" and "derivative of more successful fiction by (a) more established author()."[4]
