"With the opening paragraph, the reader's interest is awakened, to remain and to gain in attentiveness with the progress and development of the plot to the final chapter. A novel in which the imagination of its author is observed to broaden out and to search for incident beyond ordinary fields of discovery, and yet to adorn the narrative it weaves with a staying interest that is both living and timely--such a novel possesses not a little of the spirit of the busy, purposeful days in which we live, and contains virility enough and striking motif, sufficient to render it at once and lastingly popular. Those qualities Dr. Doyle's latest novel has in a telling degree. It is thoroughly a novel of to-day, full of interest, spirited, thrilling, and bright with the most vivid of pictures for the surpassing pleasure both of the traveler and the stay-at-home. The author has evidently visited the places of which he so fluently and pleasurably writes, and has been a participator in some stirring desert scenes, or he surely could not have written so acceptably of them as he does in the present tale."--_Boston Courier._

"Joseph Hatton has written many successful volumes of incident, but in none of them has he given us a more stirring romance than in his latest novel, 'When Greek Meets Greek.' The characters are drawn with a skilful hand, and the scenes follow each other in rapid succession, each teeming with interest and vigor."--_Boston Advertiser_.

"It is one of the strongest stories of the year, remarkably graphic in its descriptions of the wild and wonderful scenery amidst which its action is located, and equally remarkable for the character drawing of the real men and women who figure in it."--_Boston Home Journal_.
"The author has depicted clearly a true socialistic organization on a small scale, which seems as though it might have been founded on fact. It is a strong story, extremely well told, and will attract attention as much for its socialistic ideas as for its romantic features."--_San Francisco Chronicle_.
