Publisher Description

Already an international sensation, with his books translated into fifteen languages—in the UK alone, Panic has more than 400,000 copies in print—Jeff Abbott is a master of the action-packed thriller. Now, with Collision, he delivers a meaty, twisty, white-knuckle ride designed to propel him onto the bestseller lists in his home country.

Collision is the story of two men living very different lives—one, a successful corporate consultant who is mourning the murder of his new bride; the other, a former CIA agent known only as “Pilgrim,” whose current assignment for a fringe espionage agency is so treacherous he doesn’t trust even his own boss. When they are thrown together in a violent, unexpected event, the two men realize that they’ve been framed in an elaborate setup. Unsure who to trust and who may just be trying to draw them into the open, the unlikely partners have no choice but to work together. But with everything at stake, Ben has no idea that Pilgrim is harboring some shocking secrets of his own—secrets that will soon force Ben to confront just how blurred the line has become between best friends and bitter enemies.

Praise for Collision

“Collision is the best evidence yet that Jeff Abbott is one of the finest thriller writers working today. Electric with action and lightning-paced, I literally could not put it down. Don’t miss it.” —Harlan Coben

“Jeff Abbott has been my favorite new thriller writer since Panic, but Collision rockets into the suspense stratosphere alongside the best works of Harlan Coben and Lee Child. Relentless, smart, and heartbreaking, Collision is the thriller to read this year.” —Joseph Finder

“Collision is a powerhouse tale of good bad guys, bad good guys, and every shade in between. Jeff Abbott delivers a frenzy of action in this race-against-the-clock thriller about an ordinary guy arrested for murder whose only hope lies in trusting the very man who framed him.” —Lisa Gardner

"I loved that I recognized the areas that were in this book. That rarely happens. Thanks Mr. Abbott!! Although to the narrator of this book, people in Texas don't necessarily have that thick of an accent. Quite annoying. Maybe I'll just read these books from now on in book form! "

  • “Quentin Tarantino meets Die Hard as the lives of two men literally collide in Abbott’s latest riveting action thriller…The action never lets up as they go on a seemingly futile quest. Abbott has always been a terrific writer, but this is his best to date. The twists are shocking, and the characters are all too real.”

    — Library Journal

  • “Gigante’s deep, resonant voice matches the intensity of the action…Gigante excels at his timing, pacing, and emphasis in both the straight narration and character voices. He also injects a wide range of emotion and attitude.”

    " It took me a while to get into this book but ultimately I enjoyed it. I think the editor got lazy at the end with grammatical errors and getting two of the lead characters mixed up. "

    " Well written and very fast-paced this story has not a whit of believability about it. Just too far fetched to be taken seriously. Recommended only for those who like action without having to think about it. "

    " More creative than the typical spy thriller, and the use of absurd stupidity by the characters to heighten suspense is refreshingly limited. Not perfect, but better than average. "

    " I had the excuse of a dreadful sunburn, so I hid in the bedroom during my vacation to get some alone time. This, unfortunately, was what I had with me to read. In my defense, the small spinning rack at the Dollar General that I walked to didn't have much to offer. UGH. "

    " A damn fine book if you ask me - true escapism. The pace of the book is breakneck and it's mighty entertaining. If you're after a relatively short book full of twists, action and great characters then you should give this a try. "

    " While definitely not my favorite of Abbott's, it was fast-paced and full of action. I really didn't care for Ben or Pilgrim very much, but I was still interested enough to keep on reading. I will say the twist at the end was not what I had expected. Overall, not bad for some summer reading. "
