Review:

Praise for Nightmare Range

"Limón has proven himself to be a sensitive observer of the darker angels
of human nature and a skilled weaver of mystery . . . It's Limón's intimate
knowledge of his source material, from the brothels and bars to the vicissitudes
of the local police forces, that make this collection worth reading."
--NPR

"Limón, who was stationed in Korea for the Army, writes with empathy for the Korean people as well for the young GIs dropped into a foreign culture."
--Boston Globe

"Martin Limón gets the U.S. Army right on every page: the language, the
details of assignment and training, the subtle differences of rank, the drinking
and gambling, all of it."
--The Veteran

Praise for Martin Limón's Sergeant George Sueño series

"[Combines] the grim routine of a modern police procedural with the cliff-hanging action of a thriller movie."
--Wall Street Journal

"Nobody navigates the barely controlled chaos of Seoul's red light district like these two--or the byzantine ways of Army bureaucracy, for that matter. Limón's empathy for Korean culture, meanwhile, makes him and excellent guide."
--Seattle Times

"Excellent . . . A vivid view of Asia, from the Demilitarized Zone to the Yellow Sea, and an insightful look at the era."
--Publishers Weekly, Starred Review
