  • “Nearshore is the best novel of homegrown nuclear terrorism yet written, chillingly credible, terrifying, and all too plausible.”

    — Richard Rhodes, Pulitzer Prize–winning author of The Making of the Atomic Bomb

  • “This is an exceptionally thoughtful literary thriller, beautifully rendered against the backdrop of a world its author very clearly knows and loves. In the depth and breadth of its story, in the lyricism of its prose, Nearshore will surely establish Steve Hawk as a writer to be reckoned with.”

    — Kem Nunn, author of Tapping the Source, Dogs of Winter, and Tijuana Straits

  • “A polished and exhilarating first novel from a welcome new voice in literary suspense.”

    — Booklist

  • “Engrossing, graceful, and transporting, this is a terrific—if terrifying—tale of near apocalypse.”

    — Publishers Weekly

  • “A smart, fun, thrilling read. The characters pop and the story moves like a barreling full-speed point wave.”

    — Matt Warshaw, author of The Encyclopedia of Surfing, The History of Surfing, and Mavericks: The Story of Big-Wave Surfing

  • “Pure fun from start to finish. As someone who studies nuclear proliferation for a living, I can confirm: This scenario is the real deal, and the bad-guy billionaire is entirely plausible. Terrifying and thrilling in equal measure. Read it.”

    — Jeffrey Lewis, Distinguished Scholar of Global Security at Middlebury College

  • “The deadly whirlpool of wealth, amorality, and nuclear terror that animates the plot of Nearshore feels timely in a thousand uncomfortable ways, but author Steve Hawk also gives us an unlikely and unforgettable hero who rises above it all. This is a spectacular debut novel by an extraordinary talent.”

    — Martin J. Smith, author of Combustion
