<b><i>San Francisco Chronicle Book Review</i>:</b> "If Samuel Beckett ever wrote a spy story, it might read a lot like this one. Dillon's novel is haunted by the same corrosive absurdity that permeates WAITING FOR GODOT. On page after page, one seeks for some human meaning behind Gold's drab charade. But as Dillon tells the tale, there is no meaning to be found. Gold's life is the biography of a zombie."
