More praise for the novels of Jack Du Brul
Pandora’s Curse
“A rare treat—a thriller that blends some of modern history’s most vexing enigmas with a hostile, perfectly realized setting. This is one thriller that really delivers: great characters combined with a breakneck pace and almost unbearable suspense.”
—Douglas Preston and Lincoln Child, coauthors of The Ice Limit and Relic
“Combining plenty of thrills and a touch of romance, Du Brul’s action-packed contemporary adventure zips along like an out-of-control locomotive. . . . A well-researched foundation of facts and details grounds the reader in this frosty setting. . . . Mercer’s love interest . . . is his fitting counterpart and a strong heroine, and their romance adds a degree of warmth to this swift, sensational tale. Those who enjoy a good adrenaline rush will find plenty here to satisfy.”
—Publishers Weekly
“Have you been casually looking for a new thriller writer in the tradition of Clive Cussler? Would the idea of a touch of Jack Higgins intrigue you? Do you like your reading to move quickly, have a great plot, and the good guy gets the girl? Browse no more! Jack Du Brul is here. . . . Pandora’s Curse hits all the buttons. Read it and run to your favorite bookstore for the others . . . a dandy read.”
—News & Citizen (Morrisville, VT)
The Medusa Stone
“[The Medusa Stone’s] nearly five hundred pages of fast-paced prose propel Du Brul closer to the front ranks of thriller authors.”
—Publishers Weekly
“With novels like Charon’s Landing, Vulcan’s Forge, and now The Medusa Stone, Jack Du Brul is one of the leaders of adventurous intrigue novels. The story line of his latest thriller continually ebbs and flows, but each new spurt builds the tension even further until the audience realizes that this is a one-sitting novel in spite of its size. Philip is a fabulous lead character and the support cast brings to life Eritrea and some questionable activities in the Mediterranean area. However, in hindsight, what makes Mr. Du Brul’s novel a strong candidate for adventure book of the year is the brilliant fusion of Eritrea, its people and customs woven into a dramatic plot.”
—The Midwest Book Review
Vulcan’s Forge
“Wonderfully outrageous [cliff-hangers] . . . finely tuned, buoyed by strong, fresh writing.”
—Kirkus Reviews
“An exciting, well-honed thriller that will have Clive Cussler fans taking note of the new kid on the block.”
—William Heffernan, author of
The Dinosaur Club

—Sullivan County Democrat (NY)
“A fun thriller.”
—The Daily Oklahoman
“An intricate tale filled with action and intrigue where the stakes are high. Mercer is an action character with a brain, a penchant for beautiful women, and the ability to think fast and inspire respect and trust. . . . A fast-paced story well told by an upcoming new talent in the spy thriller genre. DuBrul has earned an avid fan.”
—Cape Coral Daily Breeze
Charon’s Landing
“A pleasure . . . a densly detailed and well-paced thinking man’s melodrama.”
—Kirkus Reviews
“Jack DuBrul has to be the finest adventure writer on the scene today. Romance, violence, technology are superbly blended by a master storyteller. Du Brul creates a fast-moving odyssey that is second to none.”
—Clive Cussler
“DuBrul’s well-calculated debts to Fleming, Cussler, Easterman, and Lustbader, his technological, political, and ecological research, and his natural gift for story-telling bode well.”
—Publishers Weekly
