“Truth be told, I find myself saying a lot of the same praises as I've made my way through each installment of McCammon's Matthew Corbett series. Each and every book delivers wild adventures, incredibly dire straits, and characters I absolutely adore; The Providence Rider is no exception to this trend of awesome reads. Seeing how Matthew's predicaments become more and more dangerous as he continues to make worse enemies of people who already would love to slowly saw his head from his shoulders never ceases to keep me glued to the pages. This series is easily one of my favorites, and I'm so glad I have more books to look forward to. If you enjoy some high tension suspense, horrific villains, a brilliant (but also sometimes quite stupid) hero, with enough moments of wit and humor to provide some comic relief at the right time, what are you waiting for? You really ought to pick this one up.”
