    Publishers Weekly:

    [Starred Review]  The Games, by Ted Kosmatka

        "In this tense debut, Kosmatka embraces scientific horror.  Exacting science and meticulous attention to detail provide the backbone for this thriller, which blends the best of Crichton and Koontz."

    Booklist:

    [Starred Review]  The Games, by Ted Kosmatka

        "Very much like something Michael Crichton might have written...The human characters capture our interest...but it's the genetically engineered gladiator that keeps us racing through the pages.  An outstanding debut novel; expect big things from Kosmatka."
