"Intense, fulfilling and very entertaining."
"The narrative is very strong and intense. Author, Ray Palla kept a steady narrative that was humorous, encouraging, witty but never insensitive. He kept the pace of the novel and he ensured that the characters were strong enough for the plot line. I particularly liked Sue and Weasel, both of them were very different, yet they were the most relatable. This is a great novel that I really enjoyed! Intense, fulfilling and very entertaining." —Rabia Tanveer, Readers' Favorite ★★★★★

"A rollicking ride with memorable characters."
"Here is a hilarious story that has great potential to entertain readers immensely. Ray Palla’s writing is awesome and the narrative voice is jovial and humorous. Right from the start, the reader is prepared for something like they have never read anywhere. Enter the boisterous gang of characters — Wichita, Foot, Marlboro, Pad, Sue and others — who are every bit as convincing as they are entertaining. The author has a particular gift for dialogue and readers will love how he uses this gift to enhance the plot, deepen characterization, and explore the themes. H: Infidels of Oil is a rollicking ride with memorable characters. I found it impossible to put this one down. It’s a story with a huge conflict and a satisfying denouement." —Christian Sia, Readers' Favorite ★★★★★
“Hottest book to hit the printed page this year.”
"H: Infidels of Oil by Ray Palla is the hottest book to hit the printed page this year. Terrorists infiltrate Texas oil fields and attempt to plant Soviet hydrogen bombs to activate a nuclear holocaust. They are almost successful, but for an incongruous group of roughneck oil drillers. By using natural wit, courage, and ingenuity the Texas oilmen manage to foil the terrorist plans and avert global catastrophe. With his characteristic style, Palla fills every page with electrifying suspense as events boil over with unremitting tension. With its unique plot and unequalled capacity to rivet attention, H: Infidels of Oil offers a rare and exciting read which will undoubtedly contend for best of the year among thrillers." —EditorStone.com ★★★★★
“H will leave you hungry for more.”
"Will the terrorists be foiled in time? Which nation is behind the attacks? Can the Federal government keep the entire operation under wraps? Will the socially-awkward “Pad” find love in the most unexpected of ways? And is the slow-roast brisket ready yet? Mr. Palla’s H: Infidels of Oil will leave you hungry for more." —Neil A White, Readers' Favorite ★★★★★
