Here’s what people are saying
about Gauntlet...

“Loads of really good writing... Aaron knows his stuff. Gauntlet [is] a damn fine novel.”
– David Hagberg, bestselling author of Dance with the Dragon,
Joshua's Hammer, Soldier of God, and Allah's Scorpion
“A good writer [with] a good story takes you to places you haven’t been and introduces you to new concepts, [without] your having to go there and put your own life on the line. Richard Aaron did just that. The plot of his story is riveting... the possibility that this could happen [frightening]. [An] emotionally thrilling novel, well worth the read.”
– John Foxjohn, bestselling author of Cold Tears,
winner of the Readers’ Award for best mystery
"Wow, what a story! I absolutely couldn't put it down. Can't wait to work on the movie."
– Quay Terry, Hollywood Military consultant, Jarhead, Flags of Our Fathers, Stop-Loss, Wolverine
“Normally, when I'm hired to promote a novel, I read a couple of chapters and the synopsis. But Gauntlet kept pulling at me… interfering with my work. I [snuck in] a few chapters every time I stepped away from the computer, [and suddenly] I'd read the whole thing. You'd never guess it's a first novel.”
– Shel Horowitz, book marketing consultant and author of Grassroots Marketing for Authors and Publishers
“Amazing – complex and twisted… with bad guys so devilishly clever that they would rival Satan himself. You don’t see what’s coming until it hits you … until then you’re cheering your heart out for the good guys. An astounding first stab.”
– Mike Karanikolas, Los Angeles, owner and president of Revolveclothing.com
“One of the best books I’ve ever read. Reaches for the heights Clancy has achieved, and absolutely gets there.”
– Charles White, businessman, San Diego, CA
“I couldn’t put it down; thank God it was raining, so that I ‘had’ to stay in and read! I’ll be pre-ordering Richard Aaron’s new book, just to see what he cooks up next.”
– Cathie White, San Diego, CA
“I started reading and couldn't stop until I had finished it … a can't-put-down book right out of the headlines … wonderfully written, intelligent, and completely suspenseful. I wouldn't mind reading it again, and again, and again…”
– Karen Bierstedt, editor, Ramona, CA
