Review:

""Heretic" keep[s] us off-guard and entertained with its every surprising move."

-- Peter Straub

"One part religious horror, one part military thriller, 100% fast-paced action."

-- The Horror Channel

"A breakneck-paced thriller that delivers on the thrills and tosses in more than a few chills."

-- Kelley Armstrong, author of "Stolen" and "Industrial Magic"

""Heretic" has it all -- action, suspense, terror, sharp dialogue, a dynamite central concept, and richly drawn characterization. Don't try pigeonholing this book, because Nassise -- like his Templar Knights -- doesn't stand still long enough for you to take aim. This is cross-genre fiction at its absolute best. I, for one, cannot wait for the next book in what promises to be a long and rewarding series."

-- Gary Braunbeck, author of "In Silent Graves" and "Graveyard People"
