"Adroitly straddles the thin line between fantasy, thriller, and spoof.O'Malley is a nimble writer, effortlessly leaping back and forth between comedy and action."- David Pitt, Booklist Joyce Saenz Harris, Dallas Morning News Throughout a rip-roaring narrative, O'Malley off-handedly weaves deadpan humor." "Great, rattling fun, as if Neil Gaiman took Buffy the Vampire Slayer and crossed it with Torchwood. It's loaded with dry wit and doesn't take itself too seriously.Certainly one of the most unusual stories you will read this year." "A creative mix of suspense, the supernatural, and espionage thrills. The Rook is expertly written.full of narrative energy." " The Rook has got it all: secret powers, mysterious organizations, dark corners.twisted scientists, and a duck that can see the future.Hands down I have not enjoyed a good supernatural novel this much for quite some time.It's just that good." The opening page alone is a gem, and the narrative just keeps getting better.This is wonderful entertainment." " The Rook is going to kick off my Best Books of the Year list. "A near-perfect supernatural thriller.Don't start this book unless you've got lots of time, because you won't want to put it down.
