Chilling and Detailed

Larry Collins does a superb job of imagining what really would happen if the terrorists got a nuclear weapon. The action is believable, and the way he shows the government agencies, departments and foreign countries involved is fascinating. Nobody knows when, or if, anything like this will happen. Is New York Burning makes us think about it in concrete ways, and it delivers excitement and plenty of food for thought.

THE MASSTERS LAST HURRAH !

NO ONE HAS DONE IT BETTER IN THE TAN THEASE TWO WRITERS WHEN THEY WORK IN TANDEM.NOW THAT LARRY COLLINS HAS DIED THIS IS THIER LAST GEM ....NOT THIER BEST WORK BUT STILL FAR BETTER THAN ANYONE ELSE WHO HAS WRITTEN ON THE SUBJECT. I AM HEART SICK THAT I WILL NEVER HAVE THE PLEASURE OF READING ANOTHER NEW NOEL BY THEASE MASTERS.

A first class update

This book brings back to the present the timeliness of the nuclear terror threat that the two authors had the prescient to point out twenty years ago. The research is thorough and the reading, with real life characters, is riveting. A must for those who seek to understand modern day terrorism threat through a fictional work that is really more fact than fiction.
