Media Reviews
Collins makes us root for Quarry, or he draws us so completely into Quarry's world that rooting for anybody becomes beside the poin. - Booklist

It's got old school action and a fast paced energy that makes it hard to even think about putting the book down. - Geek Hard

Pick up Quarry by Max Allan Collins if you want a quick, squirmy read, sure to entertain you as well as any classic pulp shoot-em-up. - Noir Whale

The Quarry series is fast-paced, sexy, violent and entertaining. - BookReporter

Pulpishly brutal and clever, Quarry makes for an addictive introduction to one of crime fiction's most enduring and engaging hard-boiled sociopaths. Long may this amoral son-of-a-bitch run . . . - BlogCritics
