Summary: Trevor's last and one of his best
Comment: The last pages of this final Quiller novel were dictated to Trevor's son as the author was dying of cancer (you will want tissues ready whilst reading the afterwords by the author's wife and son--well, for goodness sake, what would you expect?). While this novel will have sentimental value for his fans, it stands on its own as one of the best novels of the series. In this final book, Quiller moves from one Red Sector to another with the skills of the top Executive we have come to know and love reading about. Trevor pulled out the stops for this last novel, engaging favorites from the series--Croder and Ferris, for example--and using them in ways that are simultaneously familiar and subtly different than in previous novels. Quiller has also clearly matured with his creator. At the plot level, the novel excels, and will not fail to keep even new Quiller readers glued to the book. This is a final, wonderful act from a truly gifted author and a deeply interesting character, the likes of which we may not see again. Send a rose to Trevor's wife, Chaille.

Summary: For Quiller fans, a powerful, must-have finish
Comment: While not his best Quiller novel, this final book in the 19-novel series carries a tremendous power that is unique in the series. The reader knows that this is the last book - both for Quiller and Mr. Trevor. Throughout the book there are references and comments that are clearly "final" messages from the author to his readers. Elleston Trevor put a bit of his soul on paper, and the book's intensity is that much higher for it. I couldn't put the book down - not just because of the story, but because of the author's story. I have to admit, I didn't want the book to end - and the end was a bit of a surprise to me. A great read, and I look forward to reading the entire series again. Hats off to you, Elleston Trevor. Signal ends.
