»... an extremely tight, many-layered, feverish and fast-paced portrait of the time right after German reunification ...« SPIEGEL ONLINE

»André Georgi’s novels, The Last Terrorist included, are a sensation on every bookshelf. Exciting, more exciting, most exciting.« literaturmarkt.info

»An entertaining novel somewhere between reality and insanity, the hall of mirrors at the Prater is nothing in comparison – absolutely worth reading.« Hamburger Abendblatt

»The characters are complex, they are lively and powerful figures which Georgi, an extremely talented wordsmith, also makes convincing. A sharp political thriller that tells the story of a dark chapter in the history of the Federal Republic, a society that, just a short time after reunification, already shows the first, deep fissures between East and West.« Hamburger Abendblatt

»The abrupt changes of perspective within the narrative structure, which constantly drive the reader forward in an exciting and stimulating way, are particularly striking. Georgi narrates from the perspective of RAF-terrorists, federal BKA-agents and politicians, and in so doing gives his novel an enormous density and complexity.« Lesering.de

»The Last Terrorist offers enthralling ideas on the third generation of the RAF and the events of the 1990s, without providing a single way to read or explain them. Above all, the book lives from its narrative style: Georgi throws the reader into different scenes, places and characters without any great explanation; the characters come and go without any long introduction.« Deutschlandfunk Kultur

»A cleverly thought out political and economical thriller ... « Kriminetz

»The Last Terrorist is exciting not least because of its cat-and-mouse games … The climate of suspicion and mistrust, scruples and calculation, is impressively drawn: a disquieting, intense read.« Cannstatter Zeitung

»Georgi writes with full force.« Die Zeit

»The Last Terrorist offers us poly-dimensional glimpses into a colourful kaleidoscope: Exciting plots, gripping psychological portraits of misguided fanatics, and looks back at a turbulent historical era.« Culturemag
