"Starred Review. The twists are shocking, and the characters are all too real. " - Library Journal.
"Abbott keeps the action zipping along as the body count mounts, and Ben becomes far wiser and far tougher as he learns the harsh realities of kill or be killed." - Publishers Weekly.
"Collision is the best evidence yet that Jeff Abbott is one of the finest thriller writers working today. Electric with action and lightening-paced, I literally could not put it down. Don't miss it." - Harlan Coben.
"Collision is a powerhouse tale of good bad guys, bad good guys, and every shade in between. Jeff Abbott delivers a frenzy of action in this race-against-the-clock thriller about an ordinary guy arrested for murder whose only hope lies in trusting the very man who framed him." - Lisa Gardner.
