"strong echoes" of GR in new novel says PW Daily

[Doug Millison]

"Robert Wilson's tense thriller, The Company of Strangers, mixes
mathematics with wartime intrigue to fine effect. The narrative spans
the years from WWII to glasnost and the collapse of the Berlin Wall, yet
for all the inevitable social commentary, the novel remains at heart a
conventional sociopolitical thriller with strong echoes of le Carre,
Ambler, Deighton and others--not to mention Gravity's Rainbow. As the
story lengthens and the calendar pages fall away, suspense inevitably
slackens, though for the most part the novel remains supremely readable."
