Not only the most terrifying, but also the most realistic nuclear-terror scenario I have encountered, whether on the page or in the Pentagon. Robert Gleason's decades of deep research into the dark realms of nuclear energy and weapons have yielded a superb thriller that reads swiftly but lingers long in the imagination. A rich plot, compelling characters and energetic writing combine to make And Into the Fire's nuclear nightmare a blast (pun fully intended)! It's a gripping read--and a primer on nuclear terrorism.

A rapid moving intricate plot that unfolds with twists and turns. The characters he developed are depicted in real life drama and keep the reader looking for secondary plots.

"Gleason’s work has made him an expert on all things apocalyptic, a subject he returns to with gusto in this wildly expansive tale of the Coming End Times . . . A thrilling take on a frighteningly possible future, one that makes the journey in Cormac McCarthy’s The Road look like a stroll through the park.

A narrative knockout. Comparisons to THE STAND and SWAN SONG are well founded, but Gleason’s novel is in a class by itself.
