- DAILY MAIL
'Compulsive reading for all ages.'
- GUARDIAN
'Studded with invention.'

- INTERZONE
'Hunt has packed the story full of intriguing gimmicks... affecting and original.'
- PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
'A rip-roaring Indiana Jones-style adventure.'
- RT BOOK REVIEWS
'A curious part-future blend.'

- THE TIMES
'Hunt knows what his audience like and gives it to them with a sardonic wit and carefully developed tension.'

'A ripping yarn ... the story pounds along... constant inventiveness keeps the reader hooked... the finale is a cracking succession of cliffhangers and surprise comebacks. Great fun.'
- SFX MAGAZINE
