Bill Ott at Booklist gives a great review to BREAKING COVER:
Like [Lee] Child, Rhoades dishes out one airtight action scene after another, mixing in just enough character-building moments and holding our interest in a full cast of nicely developed supporting players. All that, and a Sam Peckinpah–like bloody, bravura finale that will leave even icy-veined thriller fans panting for breath.
Compared favorably to Lee Child AND Sam Peckinpah in one paragraph...not too shabby. Thanks, Mr. Ott!

You're right, Child and Peckinpah in one paragraph, that's pretty cool. Congrats.
