Editorial Reviews
Book Description
This fun espionage thriller overflows with geopolitical intrigue. Written with obvious relish by Rucka, author of the Atticus Kodiak novels, and rendered in stark b&w, cinematic panels by Fernandez, this work finds the British security team S.I.S. in a post-September 11 world, ready to strike at any potential terrorist threat. When a Lebanese citizen walks into a British embassy in Cairo and says he has information about a potential attack on British citizens, the unit moves into action across the globe, from Sarajevo to Rome, before finally tracing their villain in Osaka, on the verge of unleashing poison gas at a World Cup match. This book's pleasure lies in following the chase's twists and turns. Rucka and Fernandez accomplish this almost as well as any novel or film of the genre.. --Publisher's Weekly

COMENTARIO/REVIEWS
"Rucka has come up with a memorably dysfunctional antiheroine....The action sequences are fast-paced and exciting, but the truly engaging part of the book is how sharply Rucka and Rolston are able to define even minor characters." --Publishers Weekly
"As an author, [Rucka] thrives in political, moral, and emotional complexity." --Warren Ellis, creator of Transmetropolitan and Ministry of Space, from his Introduction
"Rolston's use of body language and storytelling is incredible...and Rucka's script brings us in and reminds us of how close the book is to reality..." --Randy Lander, TheFourthRail.com
"Steve Rolston's pacing is fantastic, drawing out the chase scenes with big, open panels while moving the SIS scenes along at a tense, brisk clip." --Gus Dahlberg, savantmag.com
"[T]his tale is a dark-encrusted modern action noir, a taut thriller, if you will, heavy on the espionage and global intrigue." --Spence Abbot, IGN for Men
"Rucka's tough, lean writing style is perfectly complimented by Steve Rolston's excellent black and white art." --Nick Brownlow, NinthArt.com
"Queen & Country delivers in a big way." Casey Seijas, --Wizard Magazine
