The Brink is a fun and action-packed novel with a hip contemporary tone that brings to mind a global espionage mashup of Kill Bill and Sucker Punch. With its larger-than-life female protagonist and its highly-stylized version of global geopolitics, this is not a story that is intended to be taken too seriously. It is like a broad cartoon portrayal, but a smart and sophisticated one with plenty of glam set-pieces and contemporary pop-culture references. --Creative Artist Agency
