"Shades of John LeCarre, Ludlum, and Forsyth. I am greatly impressed. Dangerous Legacy is in every way an accomplished creation: the plot immensely credible, the unfolding of events meticulously handled, and the binding threads of narrative ensure that the reader's interest is maintained from page to page."
Michael ffolliott-Foster, The Caxton Press, New Zealand.
"Move over Tom Clancy. Gordon Ryan has spun an arresting tale. Dangerous Legacy is a great read that will hold you spellbound."
Blaine Yorgason, Author
