RaveEsquire MagazineAbdul-Jabbar has managed to weave elements of his far flung interests into a fascinating mystery narrative. The briskly written book has a delicately woven plot...fascinating ... With its simple yet vivid writing style, and quick punchy chapters, Mycroft is a departure from Abdul-Jabbar\'s more well-known non-fiction in form but not content. Mycroft returns to the themes he has written about for years—the specters of racism and economic inequality and colonialism haunt the novel, much like the deadly supernatural beings about which he writes in Mycroft. Even Donald Trump would enjoy the book\'s twists.
