THE CHOSEN ONES are about to start their second year in senior high school. The whole summer break they have held their breaths waiting for the demons’ next move. But the threat shows up from another direction, somewhere they could never have foreseen.
It becomes more and more obvious that something is very, very wrong in Engelsfors. The past is woven together with the present. The living meet the dead. THE CHOSEN ONES are tied even closer together and are once again reminded that magic cannot ease unhappy love or mend broken hearts...
Shroud of Sorrow is one of the best Doctor Who novels in memory... a great and worthy story for the 50th Anniversary year.
—— Emrys Matthews , http://blogtorwho.blogspot.co.ukBarber throws herself wholeheartedly into the project, vocalising sound effects such as “Flash!”, “Bang!” and “Putter, putter, chuff!” as well as providing decent imitations of Susan, the Second Doctor and Jo during flashbacks.
—— Richard McGinlay , http://www.sci-fi-online.comSwift’s first novel, with its brilliant near-future vision of an ecologically and socially devastated world and characters who resonate with life and passion, marks her as an author to watch.
—— Jackie Cassada , Library JournalA glittering first novel: a kind of flooded Gormenghast treated with the alienated polish of DeLillo's Cosmopolis. The result is a gripping novel, readable, beautiful, politically engaged and wholly accomplished. Swift is a ridiculously talented writer.

—— Jake Kerridge , Sunday ExpressWolfe’s prose is as punchy as ever.
—— Time OutEnergetically set against the deco licentiousness of Florida’s steamiest party capital.
