Fast-paced and tightly plotted, this is a dramatic thriller that shows why the books in this series sell by the truckload.
SUNDAY MIRROR
It's no mystery why James Patterson is the world's most popular thriller writer: his uncanny skill in creating living, breathing characters we truly feel for and seamless, lightning-fast plots. I do this for a living, and he still manages to keep me guessing from the first to last page ... Simply put: Nobody does it better.
JEFFREY DEAVER
Behind all the noise and the numbers, we shouldn't forget that no one gets this big without amazing natural storytelling talent - which is what Jim has, in spades. The Alex Cross series proves it.
LEE CHILD, bestselling author of the Jack Reacher series
James Patterson is The Boss. End of.
IAN RANKIN, bestselling author of the Inspector Rebus series
I wrote, "Along Came a Spider is the best thriller I've come across in many a year. It deserves to be this season's no. 1 bestseller and should instantly make James Patterson a household name." A household name, indeed.
NELSON DEMILLE
Every once in a while a writer comes along and fundamentally changes the way people read. He or she is so bright, so innovative, so industrious that what they envision and create becomes the measure by which all others are judged. In 1993 one such writer - James Patterson - began to do just that ... James Patterson is the gold standard by which all others are judged.
STEVE BERRY, bestselling author of the Colton Malone series
[Alex Cross] has become one of the greatest fictional detectives of all time, a character for the ages.
DOUGLAS PRESTON and LINCOLN CHILD
Alex Cross is a legend.
HARLAN COBEN
Patterson boils a scene down to the single, telling detail, the element that defines a character or moves a plot along. It's what fires off the movie projector in the reader's mind.
MICHAEL CONNELLY
Patterson knows where our deepest fears are buried... there's no stopping his imagination.
NEW YORK TIMES BOOK REVIEW
Patterson is in a class by himself.
VANITY FAIR
Acknowledging the influence of Roger Deakins’s pioneering book Waterlog, Peters has written an account that is much more personal but no less wise. Among the current crop of British nature writers, he deserves a prominent place.

An affirmation of life and the resilience of the human spirit, and it left me wanting to seek out the places he visits
Alison Ashmore, Shropshire Review Magazine
The outdoor tradition of English writing stretches by way of Gilbert White and Borrow, Cobbett, Jefferies and Hudson, through Williamson to those few authentic outdoor and nature writers – Jim Crumley, Mark Cocker, Paul Evans, Andrew Fusek Peters – of the present day
Jim Perrin, Great Outdoors Magazine
This dream of a book[...]is as beautiful and uplifting as it is visceral

Lyrical [and] refreshingly candid
