Excellent read。 Clever and genius。 Very entertainingWhat an excellent first fiction novel for this author。 I sure hope he writes another very soon! I’ll be first in line to order it。。

Sam Bayer

I loved this book。 I consider myself a professional negotiator。 It was great to be treated to a great sci-fi yarn while reinforcing the basics of negotiating。 I've assigned the book to my Senior Leadership Team for their enjoyment/learning。 I loved this book。 I consider myself a professional negotiator。 It was great to be treated to a great sci-fi yarn while reinforcing the basics of negotiating。 I've assigned the book to my Senior Leadership Team for their enjoyment/learning。 。。。more

Outstanding A fascinating combination of philosophy, science fiction, and moral dilemmas。Highly recommend it。This book will keep you on the edge of your seat and at the same time make you think hard and long about our current civilization。

A spectacularly good story of first contact, which weaves together exopolitics, secret codes and world history at a thrilling pace。 Try to imagine a combination of “The Day The Earth Stood Still”, “Independence Day” and “Contact”, brought together into something far cleverer。 The story can get a little bit cheesy in a few places, but it almost seems intentional - the author clearly had a fun time writing this, and you will have similar fun reading。 Smart, original and exciting - strongly recomme A spectacularly good story of first contact, which weaves together exopolitics, secret codes and world history at a thrilling pace。 Try to imagine a combination of “The Day The Earth Stood Still”, “Independence Day” and “Contact”, brought together into something far cleverer。 The story can get a little bit cheesy in a few places, but it almost seems intentional - the author clearly had a fun time writing this, and you will have similar fun reading。 Smart, original and exciting - strongly recommended。 。。。more

A brilliant page turner from beginning to endAn amazing story of this “modern day Indiana Jones style” professor who try’s to save the world from an inevitable end at the hands of alien powers, using his knowledge and skills of negotiation。 A thoroughly enjoyable read wrapped up with great negotiation lessons。

Sandrine

Critical thinkerIf you enjoy history and how humans continue to ignore it, then this will give you something else to imagine and think about。

Srikar Kashyap

An excellent cerebral thriller。 Probably among the fastest I've read recently。 As a professor of negotiation, the author throws in lots of negotiation tips and tactics as well!

Special book!After reading the beginning chapters, I realized that this is a special book。 The book is very entertaining and I genuinely laughed and smiled as I read through it。 The lessons from history and the art of negotiation and diplomacy is beautifully woven into the storyline。 I highly recommend this book to others!

Dick SantaCruz

Brilliant bookThis was one of the most engaging and profound books I have ever read。 The main character was incredible and supporting character so believable。 The book was impossible to put down and I finished it in one day。 Every problem wants to be solved is my take away。

Mr。 Malhotra has written a great science fiction book! The premise is much the same as many books: earth first encounters aliens, who threaten to destroy the world。 What makes this one different? Several things。 First, his main character has more depth than one often finds in science fiction。 Kudos to him for spending the time to make him a more or less real person。 Too many sci fi authors forget that part。 Second, the plot twists are great。But the real strength of this book is that Mr。 Malhotra Mr。 Malhotra has written a great science fiction book!

Several things。 First, his main character has more depth than one often finds in science fiction。 Kudos to him for spending the time to make him a more or less real person。 Too many sci fi authors forget that part。 Second, the plot twists are great。But the real strength of this book is that Mr。 Malhotra uses his professional background as a negotiator to build a story which gives the readers a view of the motives of BOTH SIDES--earth and alien。 And does so in a convincing way。 Of course, it doesn't hurt that he writes a gripping narrative to keep you turning the pages。So why four stars instead of 5? This book could have been cut by a hundred pages or so by reigning in the author's instinct to tell rather than show。 There are several long passages devoted to telling the reader about the strategy behind the action, explaining what the right way is to negotiate, etc。 That message comes through very clearly in the story, and did not need to be spelled out。But this is a minor quibble in a book I stayed up way too late too many nights devouring。 。。。more

Absolutely Brilliant!An absolutely brilliant and spell-binding read! At times the challenges the characters face in this incredible tale seems utterly hopeless, leaving me to wonder how the author could possibly construct a path for them to follow that would not only carry them out of danger but do so in a way that felt rewarding and plausible to the reader。 As a writer myself I was astonished at the ideas and ingenuity that poured from the pages。 This book kept me reading long into the night se Absolutely Brilliant!An absolutely brilliant and spell-binding read!

It earned every star! 。。。more

An extraordinary first novel I’ve known the author for years as a scholar。 But it is so far to transition from nonfiction to fiction writing。 Many have tried。 None have succeeded。 。。。 until now。 This book takes the author’s expertise and crafts a scenario where that expertise will be needed in perhaps some non-obvious but compelling ways。 It reminds me of The Martian in its crafting of problems for the protagonist to solve。 It grips you the same way and does so flawlessly。 I can’t recommend The An extraordinary first novel I’ve known the author for years as a scholar。 But it is so far to transition from nonfiction to fiction writing。 Many have tried。 None have succeeded。 。。。 until now。 This book takes the author’s expertise and crafts a scenario where that expertise will be needed in perhaps some non-obvious but compelling ways。 It reminds me of The Martian in its crafting of problems for the protagonist to solve。 It grips you the same way and does so flawlessly。 I can’t recommend The Peacemakers Code highly enough。 。。。more

enjoyableThought provoking and knowledgeable book。 More please about the following fifty to one hundred years and the alien society development。

We need to move the dial to an 11。It’s now 3:04 am。 To those readers amongst us, we know what it entails for a book to demand to be finished。 I should be tired, and I’m sure I will be as soon as my brain lets me think about anything other than what I just read。 As a life long reader, I’m approaching around 12-13,000 books read, and the Peacemaker’s Code is easily in the top 5。 I’m glad I’m reading this now, in my 65th year, so I can appreciate the depth, humor, and both geo-political and histori We need to move the dial to an 11。It’s now 3:04 am。 To those readers amongst us, we know what it entails for a book to demand to be finished。 I should be tired, and I’m sure I will be as soon as my brain lets me think about anything other than what I just read。 As a life long reader, I’m approaching around 12-13,000 books read, and the Peacemaker’s Code is easily in the top 5。 I’m glad I’m reading this now, in my 65th year, so I can appreciate the depth, humor, and both geo-political and historical nuances involved in this treasure。 But to take those critical elements and to write it in a style that the 12 year old me was able to grasp from To Kill a Mockingbird, is truly stunning。This stirred and terrified the nascent writer within me: I see now how high the bar is set for excellence。 。。。more

Great thriller; thought provokingAmazing, well written thriller with fantastic twists and turns。 Could not put it down。 Reminded me of first reading Hunt for Red October and joy of finding a great new writer and storyteller。

Incredible book!I loved this book。 Could not put it down。 The story was great and the lessons I learned greater。 Be sure you have some time set aside if you start this book。 You will not be able to put it down

Great readVery low on the science fiction and mean that in a good way ! Must read! Very relatable characters and plot

Peacemaker's Code was a fun read that also made me think — my favourite kind of fiction。 Without spoiling anything, it gave me some of the brain candy I really like in Orson Scott Card's Ender's Game and its sequels。 In Peacemaker's Code, Malhotra gives us a similarly unlikely hero prone to thinking things through in ways that try the patience of the professionals。 Ultimately, however, this unlikely hero acts suddenly and boldly, and the result is, well, 。。。 for that you have to read it。 :-) Peacemaker's Code was a fun read that also made me think — my favourite kind of fiction。 Without spoiling anything, it gave me some of the brain candy I really like in Orson Scott Card's Ender's Game and its sequels。 In Peacemaker's Code, Malhotra gives us a similarly unlikely hero prone to thinking things through in ways that try the patience of the professionals。 Ultimately, however, this unlikely hero acts suddenly and boldly, and the result is, well, 。。。 for that you have to read it。 :-) 。。。more

Although outside my typical genres, this book was captivating! A page-turning combination of drama, game theory and history。 I can't wait for the sequel。 Although outside my typical genres, this book was captivating!

This is a fascinating adventure with lots of lessons of history blended into the action。 I like history, negotiation, politics, and mystery, and this book has it all。 The author invites you into the mystery and allows you to think ahead with your own ideas before he reveals some pretty magical solutions from Kilmer。 It is a page turner。 The sci-fi angle is neutral or positive but allows you to think about the problem without a named/known current nemesis。 You will love it。 You will draw lessons This is a fascinating adventure with lots of lessons of history blended into the action。 I like history, negotiation, politics, and mystery, and this book has it all。 The author invites you into the mystery and allows you to think ahead with your own ideas before he reveals some pretty magical solutions from Kilmer。 It is a page turner。 The sci-fi angle is neutral or positive but allows you to think about the problem without a named/known current nemesis。 You will love it。 You will draw lessons from Sparta/Athens, World War I, the Cold War, and newer conflicts too, and you will think differently about new world problems。 I have already written to Malhotra with a request for the sequel。 。。。more

The Peacemaker's Code grasped my attention from the beginning to the end! I came away from the novel feeling like I had immersed myself in a new world of fantasy, romance, sci-fi, and historical fiction。 The characters were brought to life, compelling me to want to meet them personally and learn more about each individual。 It's rare when I read a book that is not only entertaining but also forces me to reflect on human nature, relationships, history, and world conflict; this book did that and mo The Peacemaker's Code grasped my attention from the beginning to the end!

Amazing book。 I read this at the same time I was watching the Watchman mini series, which was also great。 But, The Peacemaker's Code is far better than the Watchman。 Both have some science fiction。 Both address contemporary social issues。 But, Peacemaker's Code was more powerful, had deeper insights, and was more realistic - even with one big chunk of science fiction。 Peacemaker's Code is great for the informed science fiction reader, but also worked for me - someone with little interest in scie Amazing book。 I read this at the same time I was watching the Watchman mini series, which was also great。 But, The Peacemaker's Code is far better than the Watchman。 Both have some science fiction。 Both address contemporary social issues。 But, Peacemaker's Code was more powerful, had deeper insights, and was more realistic - even with one big chunk of science fiction。 Peacemaker's Code is great for the informed science fiction reader, but also worked for me - someone with little interest in science fiction。 Finally, you will learn a bunch about negotiations, diplomacy and justice along the way。 。。。more

This book had the perfect combination of what I like about fiction and nonfiction。 The story was compelling and well constructed with no detail wasted。 In addition, Malhotra's expertise in negotiation shone through not just to inform the reader, but to inform the plot and character motivations in realistic ways。 If you read this, you'll probably learn something about negotiation, but even with out that, it's worth reading and hard to put down。 This book had the perfect combination of what I like about fiction and nonfiction。 The story was compelling and well constructed with no detail wasted。 In addition, Malhotra's expertise in negotiation shone through not just to inform the reader, but to inform the plot and character motivations in realistic ways。 If you read this, you'll probably learn something about negotiation, but even with out that, it's worth reading and hard to put down。 。。。more

I dare you to read only 1 page! The Peacemaker’s Code beautifully blends politics, history, and negotiations in a sci-fi thriller that makes it hard for you to put the book down。 If you like Michael Crichton, you will certainly enjoy the deep intrigue and fast pace of this book! It is a MUST read。

The Peacemaker’s Code is the best story I have ever come across。 It is fast pace, keeps you guessing what might happen next and is hard to put down。 Once you start reading it, you lose track of time。 Anyone who likes mystery, science fiction, history or fast action would love this book。 The author has developed the story in such a way that a reader not only enjoys the different turn of events as these develop, but also learns a lot about human nature and history, and how to think out of the box。
