Praise for THE SERPENT'S KISS:

"I can't remember the last time a thriller made my heart pound and my hands sweat, but The Serpent's Kiss did all that and more. This is a tense, high-octane read!"
   —Tess Gerritsen, author of The Bone Garden

"With the explosive power of a hollow-point bullet, The Serpent's Kiss by Mark Terry delivers lethal entertainment. From the FBI to Homeland Security and local cops, you'll enjoy a wealth of insider details of what happens when a brilliant young scientist uses cutting-edge terrorist scenarios to demoralize and terrify Detroit. This is thrills, chills, and high-octane adventure at its most memorable."
   —Gayle Lynds, New York Times bestselling author of The Last Spymaster

"The Serpent's Kiss is relentless and Mark Terry writes with the bold authority of a storyteller who knows his subject. I'll never meet friends in a restaurant again without looking over my shoulder."
   —John Ramsey Miller, bestselling author of Too Far Gone
