Susan Wolfe
Escape Velocity
Praise for Escape Velocity
“Instantly addictive and disconcertingly credible, Escape Velocity will send the unwary reader pell-mell through the mazy proceedings and gamesmanship of corporate Silicon Valley. The story is shot through with shrewd humor and keen observation. I never knew how much I wanted to know about the legal and economic ins-and-outs of the tech industry until Susan Wolfe, uniquely positioned to illuminate both, decided to write this exhilarating novel.” “Escape Velocity is that rare thing: a page-turner about business. Susan Wolfe has achieved something extraordinary with this book: a thriller in which financial and legal suspense keeps you as breathless with anticipation as the rich character development. An absolutely compelling stay-up-all-night read.” “Was there ever a more appealing character than this clever, hard-working Georgia Griffin of Piney, Arkansas, who has inherited her father’s genius for the con? . . . Not only highly entertaining, but also insightful and informative about Silicon Valley’s high tech industry, whose principals are not always what they claim.”Escape Velocity-Lynn Stegner

LBH-The New York Times Book Review
“A funny, chilling view of big-time law.”
LBH-San Francisco Chronicle
“A world of captivating corruption . . .With a delicate blend of malice, suspense and sharp psychology, Wolfe winds up her story with a scene that explodes a number of myths.”
LBH-Collin Wilcox
“Absolutely first class. Susan Wolfe has succeeded in bringing the reader into the profit-obsessed world of big-time corporate law without once talking down. The Last Billable Hour is a brilliant debut by a first-class writer.”
LBH-Mystery News
“The ultimate insider’s look at the intrigues and infighting by which California’s most hyperkinetic lawyers stay sharp in between multi million-dollar deals.”
LBH-The New York Times Book Review 2
“Susan Wolfe if at her best depicting – and spoofing – the glitzy law firm scene. A lawyer herself, she serves her damages with skill and obvious glee.
LBH-St. Louis Post-Dispatch
“A swift, complex plot, an unlikely romance and an intriguing glimpse at power politics among yuppie attorneys.”
LBH-California Lawyer
“Fast-paced . . . humorous. This twists of plot and details of practice are drawn with accuracy and wit. The Last Billable Hour is also a moral tale, a thoughtful and colorful commentary on the legal profession.”
LBH-Paul Brest
“This diverting tale of legal skullduggery throws a scintillating if scandalous light on the highly charged, high-tech practice of law in Silicon Valley. Readers will look forward to the further adventures of attorney Howard Rickover and Inspector Sarah Nelson.”
LBH-Robert Barnard
“The writing is sharp, and the dialogue leaps from the page.”
LBH-Lia Matera
“An absolutely authentic view of law firm politics, written by someone who’s obviously been there. If Samuel Butler had been a corporate lawyer, this is the kind satire he’d have written. It will make readers laugh – and it will make lawyers blush.”
