If you are a fan of adventures set in today’s troubled world, Article 9 should be at the top of your must-read list.”

This political thriller is a fast-paced, character-driven saga you’ll want to finish in one sitting. Hold on and buckle your seat belt for a supersonic ride that will not disappoint.”

“Dr. Holub has been known as a great storyteller for a long time, but now he’s done it in print in his debut novel. Article 9 comes at you like a charging bull and doesn’t back off. This is an amazing tale full of intrigue and plot twists. The adrenalin rush sets you up for a single-sitting read. I hope the sequel is in the works."
