McNab's years of experience in the front line shine through this fast, furious novel

Action and adventure at its explosive best... Another addictive corker from McNab

Another tough and muscular thriller from the former SAS hero... Brutally brilliant

Andy McNab in customary bone-crunching form

A superb storyteller - he had a talent for depicting local colour, a keen sense of the dramatic, an eye for dialogue, and skill in pacing his prose

It might be nearly 60 years since The Quiet American was first published, but it still evokes the exotic promise of the Orient, and the troubled relationship Vietnam has with the West

Tells the slowly unfolding story of Baines' journey of self-discovery with great subtlety

Quinn has a cinematic eye for narrative scope... Like all good novels this book tells us something new

An absorbing tribute to the city and its unsung heroes

In a novel of cinematic denouements, Quinn has reclaimed an intriguing chapter of Liverpool's past

A real page-tuner

He [Anthony] hooks you in with his deep, complex characters; he meticulously sets the scene

A constantly engaging and witty novel from a tremendously clever writer.

Plausiby drawn....strong central characters, interesting subplots and well-sketched minor characters.

As idiosyncratic as it is ambitious...given shape and purpose by a true literary craftsman. The book both keeps you reading and makes you think.

I drank in Nigel Farndale's The Blasphemer in huge lungfuls, and mourned it when it was finished. For anyone who loved Saturday, Atonement or Birdsong, this is the generational novel at its best.
