"A chillingly, well-informed thriller about Irish terrorism ... A series of gripping and vividly narrated events ... Striking pieces of imaginative writing. ... Brilliantly evokes an eerie filming-in-progress atmosphere ..."-The New York Times
"Clancy takes us up and back in time, into the past of his characters ... releasing his events with the centripetal speed every living novel displays. Through it all, we see the reaching beauty of the country, feel its winds, hear its sounds, smell its pubs. And through it all, too, the war and its agents are moving. "-The Washington Post
"Clancy's portraits are deft, intimate, vivid ... a Dickensian texture and depth ... Blind Pilot has a historical and dramatic momentum; once that momentum picks readers up, they are in it for the duration."-Miami Herald
What distinguishes Blind Pilot from the ordinary thriller is the author's exceptional insight into his characters - men and women who, for a variety of reasons, become caught up in Ireland's struggle - and his remarkable skill at illuminating the many sides of this tragic conflict.
