“Mayhem, madness, passion, and pride battle in this wild escapade that stirs straight to the soul. This one has the Vatican, ancient secrets, mysterious relics, and the Knights Templar— all the right elements to engage both the mind and the imagination. Careful, though, you’ll be gripping the pages so tight your knuckles will turn white.”

“The Sixth Station, Linda Stasi’s debut novel, is a hell of a religious thriller. The Sixth Station has it all—great writing, exciting plot, and intriguing characters—and the ending is a shocker.”

“The Sixth Station is exactly the kind of blockbuster thriller you would expect from Linda Stasi—smart, intriguing, irreverent, impeccably researched, and brilliantly provocative. If you liked The Da Vinci Code, you'll devour this book.”

“Stasi does an amazing job of mixing science with religious paranoia in this compelling thriller... The question of ben Yusef’s divinity propels the narrative to an amazing conclusion…Dan Brown and Steve Berry fans have another controversial novel in which to lose themselves.”

“If you liked Dan Brown’s The Da Vinci Code, Steve Berry’s The Templar Legacy, and Heather Graham’s Phantom Evil, you’ll love Stasi’s provocative, pulse-pounding thriller. The Templars tackle the Vatican and the world will never be the same again!”

“This book is a roller coaster ride from start to finish. The plot-line will capture you. The characters will haunt you. So hugely entertaining, I couldn't put it down.”

“Give me a thriller that thrills, that's fast-moving, that’s filled with action, that's as fresh as tomorrow’s newscast, and I’m happy. But give me something more, and I’m really thrilled. Linda Stasi has given me a narrator named Alessandra Russo. She’s a smart, sarcastic, seen-it-all reporter who made me laugh out loud even as she was sweeping me through one terrific adventure. This is great storytelling and great writing, too.”

“Alessandra Russo is a smart, savvy, skeptical reporter who is plunged into a worldwide plot swirling around a man who may be the Son of God. Wide-ranging geographically and historically and cutting deep into religious beliefs, this is a fast-paced thriller. Highly recommended.”

“Linda taps into the political and sensitive social mindset of our global society while intricately weaving in a quick-paced spiritual adventure. Moving, educational and thought provoking comes to mind...move over Robert Langdon, Alessandra Russo has a pen and a pad and knows how to use it.”

“A grabber of a premise, non-stop action, and twists and reversals everywhere— Linda Stasi, right out of the gate, is one terrific thriller writer and The Sixth Station is one terrific thriller.”

“This book is a fabulous journey into a world one rarely uncovers.”

“Dan Brown in heels!”

“Linda Stasi’s imaginative novel on the cloning of Jesus is an edge-of-the-seat page-turner that could be the next The DaVinci Code, but will also appeal to evangelical Christians. It is emotional, moving and mystical, drawing on little-known, but real history re-imagined for modern times.”

It's a riveting, fast-paced tale that had my heart pounding on more than one occasion. That said, I was more interested in Ms. Stasi's real-world discoveries and how they affected her outlook on life.

The best debut thriller of the year hands-down takes us into the heart of a mammoth global conspiracy through the eyes of intrepid reporter Alexandra Russo. Stasi, a reporter herself, has crafted an expertly researched and wondrously conceived tale that delivers at every level, propelling her right out of the box to a Ludlum-esque level and making her heir to the throne once occupied by the great Helen MacInnes.

Linda Stasi crafts a tale combining Islam, Christianity, and National Security. If you like controversy with your suspense, The Sixth Station is for you.
