"Simply a great thriller--full of action but about people, tough but not bleak, fast and yet thoughtful. Highly recommended." [Praise for Sailor]
--Lee Child, author of the Jack Reacher series"Sailor is a great read! Just as you think you know where you're going, Tom Epperson throws another twist in your path. Style and story, I loved it all." [Praise for Sailor]
--Michael Connelly, bestselling author of the Harry Bosch novels
"On every page, the language is crisp and fresh, the details sharp and keenly observed, the dialogue real, never forced." [Praise for The Kind One]
"Epperson manages to throw in an occasional turn of phrase that Raymond Chandler might have penned....An impressive debut." [Praise for The Kind One]
--Publisher's Weekly"A South American journalist makes his way into the deepest heart of darkness ... Epperson immerses readers in a dense jungle seething with treacherous flora and fauna and murderous men, punctuating terror with startling moments of beauty."
--Publisher's Weekly"Roberto to the Dark Tower Came works as a thriller, for sure, but also a wider conversation piece about very real dangers and perils in the world today. This is a novel with a rounded-out character who we grow to know and care about, and a novel where atmosphere is important. Roberto the Dark Tower Came could form the basis of an entire section of a modern novel or current issues in literature course. Well done."
--Reading & Literature Resources"Epperson's graphic depiction of the unmitigated brutality of the militias in the jungle is heart-stopping. While readers can't help admiring Roberto's investigative persistence, they will probably be shouting, 'Get out before the ten days are up!' VERDICT This page-turning novel, which proceeds to tell the story of Roberto's life day by day, will be enjoyed by readers who like their fiction dark."
--Andrea Kempf "Library Journal "(4 stars) "Haunting and tense, Roberto to the Dark Tower Came is an unexpected thriller at every turn. Full of mystery, suspense and even a bit of romance, Tom Epperson has managed to craft a fast-paced political thriller, full of twists, turns, and a very unexpected ending . . . From start to finish, Roberto to the Dark Tower Came was difficult to put down and remarkable to digest."
--Melissa Ratcliff "Paperback Paris ""Roberto, the titular hero . . . is a well-known journalist in an unnamed South American country said to be "one of the most violent places on the planet." Politicians here are corrupt, the authorities are thuggish and "it's not unheard of for the police to investigate crimes that they themselves have committed." Roberto's newspaper articles expose the country's inherent corruption and danger--such as his recent story on street vendors menaced by an extortionate Committee to Protect the Nation, a front, it seems, for a notorious paramilitary squad. . . . Will the empathetic, ambitious Roberto pull off one more big scoop and survive with his skin intact? Mr. Epperson, a veteran screenwriter as well as a novelist, keeps readers guessing until the very last."
