"Caldwell and Thomason have created a stunning first novel; a
perfect blend of suspense and a sensitive coming of age story. If
Scott Fitzgerald, Umberto Eco, and Dan Brown teamed up to write a
novel, the result would be The Rule of Four. An extraordinary and
brilliant accomplishment--a must read."--Nelson DeMille
"A marvelous book with a dark Renaissance secret in its coded heart
... Profoundly erudite ... the ultimate puzzle book." --"The New
York Times Book Review
""Think Dan Brown by way of Donna Tartt and Umberto Eco ... There
are murders, romances, dangers and detection, and by the end the
heroes are in a race not only to solve the puzzle, but also to stay
alive. Readers might be tempted to buy their own copy of the
Hypnerotomachia and have a go at the puzzle." --"Publishers
Weekly," starred review
"As much a blazing good yarn as it is an exceptional piece of
scholarship. A smart, swift, multi-textured tale that both
entertains and informs." --"San Francisco Chronicle
""An astonishingly good debut ... Academic evil stalks the campus
and no one is safe ... Intricate, erudite, and intensely
pleasurable."--"Kirkus Reviews," starred review
"The authors, best friends since childhood, have made an impressive
debut, a coming-of-age novel in the guise of a thriller."
--"Booklist
""This debut packs all the esoteric information of "The DaVinci
Code" but with lovely writing reminiscent of Donna Tartt's "The
Secret History,.".a compulsively readable novel." --"People,"
Critic's Choice/4 Stars
"In The Rule of Four, Caldwell and Thomason have written a truly
satisfying literary thriller ... DO believe the hype. The intense
college friendships and their inevitabledecline are woven into the
thriller's plot. The novel has a darkness that recalls Umberto
Eco's monastery thriller, "The Name of the Rose," and twinges of
Donna Tartt's debut novel set in a boarding school, "Secret
History," --"The New York Post
