Praise for Jade Lady Burning A New York Times Notable Book "It is not often that so impressive a debut as
Jade Lady Burning appears . . . Compassionately written, searing in its intensity. Without ever trying to be 'literary, ' this novel achieves the stature of literature."
--The New York Times Book Review
"[George] has a detailed eye that allows the reader to fully appreciate the people and places around him without feeling bogged down with descriptions. This is a story that twists and turns . . . It's realistic and fun, but doesn't shy away from the reality of their situation. Definitely something to check out!"
--The Tulsa Examiner Praise for the George Sueño and Ernie Bascom series "What a great gift any of Limon's six mysteries starring Army Sgts. George Sueno and Ernie Bascom would make for those mystery lovers who haven't yet discovered them! . . . Imbued with affecting characters, a morally knotty storyline, and a last chapter that just plain stuns."
--Maureen Corrigan, NPR "Limón, who was stationed in Korea for the Army, writes with empathy for the Korean people as well for the young GIs dropped into a foreign culture."
--The Boston Globe "Easily the best military mysteries in print today."
--Lee Child "[Limón] vividly contrasts adventures in the seamy side of Seoul's nightlife with a sensitive appreciation for Korea's ancient culture."
--The Seattle Times "This series is a must not only for procedural fans, but also for anyone who enjoys crime fiction set in distinctive international locales."

Booklist, Starred Review "Excellent . . . A vivid view of Asia, from the Demilitarized Zone to the Yellow Sea, and an insightful look at the era."

Publishers Weekly, Starred Review "[
The Ville Rat's] searing portrait of the sins of our recent past bids fair to transcend the genre."
