PACIFIC BOOK REVIEW
Star Awarded to Books of Excellent Merit
After the momentum and success of The Singularity Witness, the first book in the series, tensions are ratcheted up and matters are brought to a whole new level in the sequel, The Singularity Transfer. ... Faced-paced, intense, concise; it’s a book that is the epitome of a race to the finish, only you have no idea how exactly things are going to end, as you hang on the edge of your seat, nerves frayed ... Dan Grant definitely knows what it takes to write a “thriller” ... the reader never knows where the story is going to go next, keeping them guessing. At times it seems like Grant might be playing with the reader a little, after an especially intense scene, there’s a breather with the end of the chapter, and then with the start of the next one it’s like he’s saying: “You ready for this?”

4.5 Stars out of 5 Stars
Thomas Parker is a marked man, his past creeping up on him ... Trust is at a premium as the war edges closer and closer to home ... The Singularity Transfer hits a bullseye with its opening salvo, the action consistent throughout the book. The characters are profuse, but each offers intrigue beneath their surface. Parker and Morgan provide complexities in their roles, neither being perfect, yet they stand for the good in humanity. The antagonists, whether amoral female assassins, scheming politicians, or mad scientists, provide dark humor mixed with cringeworthy horror. Author Dan Grant has carved a niche for himself with his latest mystery, keeping the reader on the edge of their seat from start to finish.
SAN FRANCISCO BOOK REVIEW
5 stars
despite all the nefarious activities he ended up mixed up in, Parker was still unprepared for what he would have to face in The Singularity Transfer ... an exciting book that motors along at breakneck speed. It’s a cracking read for fans of Dan Brown, Steve Berry, and other writers of conspiracy theory/cutting-edge-technology-laced thrillers.

THIRTEEN ACROSS
The main idea of this book is that there is a puzzle to be solved, and Kate Morgan is the woman for the job ... a cat-and-mouse chase with intricate puzzles and exotic locations. It is fast-paced and written like an action thriller movie, much like the Jason Bourne series. Make sure to keep your eyes glued to the page so you don't miss a clue!
SAN FRANCISCO BOOK REVIEW
5 Stars
Superlative female characters. Kate, for one, who appeared in the author's preceding novel, is as smart as she is capable ... it's the characters that truly generate the narrative tension ... sizzles with revelations, double crossings, and seemingly shifting alliances ... A taut, exhilarating mystery with plenty of material for a sequel.
KIRKUS REVIEWS
An exciting thriller that will keep readers on the edge of their seats ... Grant's writing is so gripping that readers can easily imagine themselves in Washington as Kate tries to save the city from danger ... for fans of puzzle-based mysteries or thrillers with twists and turns like Dan Brown's The Da Vinci Code. Kate Morgan is a character that is just as compelling as Robert Langdon.

5 stars
Dan Grant’s debut thriller, THE SINGULARITY WITNESS, blew me away. It has everything I love in a novel (and so much more): breathless suspense, a rollercoaster of a plot, great characters, and a storyline ripped from tomorrow’s headlines. The science and speculation alone are worth a read, not to mention where the novel takes you. An eye-opening and explosive debut. Don’t miss it!

ANDREW GROSS
New York Times & Internationally Bestselling Author
I found this book to be interesting both from a biological standpoint as well as a political standpoint ... Anyone who enjoys the intricacies of the science of the brain would enjoy reading this. That quality paired with movie-style action scenes, really made this book a great read. It was creative and full of realistic ideas and events. There was always someone creating havoc or defending against it. Never a dull moment.
