"A truly thought-provoking tale of what could be... Green’s new novel is as fast-paced and action-packed as any by Robert Ludlum or Tom Clancy."
"Thriller writer John M. Green's latest novel marks him as a master of this craft... the tempo almost warrants a medical warning for people with breathing difficulties... sexy, potent and brave... ex-CIA spook Tori Swyft uses her brains to uncover the Machiavellian plots that Green weaves into his story, but when she needs to she can just as easily shoulder a rocket launcher."
"If you like the writing style and running gun battles of Matthew Reilly or the spy thrillers of Robert Ludlum, then you'll love The Tao Deception. The book is being promoted as The Da Vinci Code meets James Bond and I don't disagree. Tori Swyft is the female James Bond."
"...Dr Tori Swyft is the kind of hero that makes you want to follow her into the pages almost instantly; whip-smart, funny, strong as hell, Australian and unafraid of anything... A gripping and startling look into where the future of technology is heading, and something you probably want to read breathlessly by candlelight in a nice and secure bomb shelter."
