"A joyride." --Vanity Fair
"A lively tale of Chinese gangs, stock market deceit and murder with jolly, breakneck style and a fine grasp of skater attitude...RUSH has wheels, er, legs." --People
"Hip...Engaging...Memorable...Quick knows how to keep an action plot twisting along." --Publishers Weekly
"Attention all rollerblading, computer-hacking, grunge-listening, omnisexual, multi-pierced twentysomethings. Okay, now attention all those who think RAM is a male sheep and a mosh pit the center of a fruit. And finally, attention all lovers of engrossing works of literature that offer a new look at an age-old story of identity and self-acceptance. The Ultimate Rush has arrived." --Time Out New York
"The first virtuoso chase scene through downtown San Francisco--including a spell atop a BART train--will leave even the quibblers wrung out and chuckling." --San Francisco Chronicle
"I just read a book that made me feel old. And I liked it...I feel like I'm in some parallel universe....Quirk...has not only a feel for these defiant characters, but also true affection. I like them, too." --Mark Johnson, San Jose Mercury News
"Quirk's debut novel is a rollicking read with countless chase scenes, wisecracking dialogue and a smooth and sassy prose style. Good fun." -- Booklist
"Heartstopping...His narrative sputters along with hilariously manic Hunter Thompson-like word-spray." -- Kirkus Reviews
"Slick...Entertaining...Crackles throughout..." -- Library Journal
"We strongly recommend Joe Quirk's novel about an inline skate messenger in San Francisco--if you like your protagonist on wheels." --Inline magazine
"A fast-paced but highly unusual thriller...Quirk's words cut like scalpels at the heart of this interesting and yes, quirky debut...Joe Quirk has come out of nowhere to write a hip, ironic thriller...At certain points as I read, I gasped at the perfect imagery he had created in The Ultimate Rush...Strong writing and whiplash prose...Quirk is a strong new talent."
--Douglas Clegg, author of The Children's Hour
"This is wonderful, off-centre, high-action fiction for readers willing to try something different." --Toronto Star
"This is no ordinary thriller. As roller-blade-hero says to bike punk Spider: 'What seems at first to be lame might actually be pretty hype shit'...language that thrills. This book sings in San Francisco speak of love between a sugar-strung blader and a blue-haired 'planker' (skateboarder) who take on crooks, cops and bankers." --The Guardian (UK)
