ReviewsA box of chocolates. You can start at one corner and methodically gorge yourself, or study the chart and pick out the caramels. With an anthology, you can start at page 1 and read through, or peruse the table of contents for favorite writers. If the anthology is good enough, it won't matter. And FaceOff is. In fact, it is brilliant. . . . The teaming up is what makes this anthology so special. It's a fair bet that fans will first turn to their favorite authors, but after devouring those stories, try the others. It is like a wonderful box of chocolates -- without the guilt., A thriller reader's ultimate fantasy. How cool would it be if a pair of celebrated crime-fiction protagonists, the creations of different authors, teamed up together on a case, in a story jointly penned by the two writers? Even if it was just 1 pair, it would be pretty darn cool, but 11 pairs? Way cool. . . . Great fun for thriller fans., Highly recommended as entertainment, this anthology is a great place to start if you've not yet sampled some of these authors., A marvelous anthology. This innovative concept entertains as each author works in concert with another to deliver a story worth every word on the page., Pow! That's the sound of thriller fans' heads exploding when they hear the bold premise of this anthology. . . . This collection is 11 fever dreams come true., Even readers who don't love short stories will find this anthology, starring some of the world's best-known thriller writers and most-loved characters, appealing and varied....This box holds a chocolate or two that will be to everyone's liking.
