“Hayes delivers muscular prose, sniper-round accurate dialogue, and
enough superb and original plotting to fill three volumes. He balances
it all with the dexterity of the accomplished storyteller that he so
obviously is. I Am Pilgrim is simply one of the best suspense novels
I’ve read in a long time.”
— David Baldacci, #1 New York Times bestselling author
-
“Mr. Hayes’s globe-trotting book has more kicks, twists, and winks than
anything of its dusty genre has provided in a long time. You will be
happily surprised to find a new thriller franchise with brains to match
its brawn.”
— New York Times

“Thriller of the Week. Delivers thrills and spills…A full tilt mix of Homeland, The Wire and The Bourne Ultimatum.”
— Mail on Sunday

“Massive in many senses, but none more so than its ability to exert a vice-like grip on the reader....Destined to be spy thriller of the year.”
— Irish Independent
-
“Riveting.”
— Amazon.com, editorial review
-
“Screenwriter and producer Hayes makes his fiction
debut with an exceptional thriller that boasts an utterly credible
narrator who has had so many covert identities he can barely remember
his original name. Soul-weary Scott Murdoch (aka the Pilgrim) has retired from the top
echelon of ultrasecret espionage, but duty and faith in the human spirit
call him back into service…Like many pilgrimages, this one is painfully long and packed with
unexpected menace, its glimpses of the goal fitful and far between, but
readers will agree that this journey of body and soul is well worth the
effort.”
— Publishers Weekly (starred review)
-
“The characters are skillfully
brought to life in this action-packed worldwide adventure, and Pilgrim
is a quick-witted and thoroughly fascinating protagonist…Simply unputdownable.”
— Booklist (starred review)

“Sure, the race against time to save the world has been done before but
seldom this well. Once you start this taut and muscular thriller, you
won’t be able to put it down.”
— Library Journal (starred review)
