Fast-paced and thoroughly well researched ... this novel is sure to keep fans entertained and the author at number one in the bestseller lists

The world may have found its next Lisbeth Salander

One of the best thrillers of the year!

Lean and mean thriller featuring Vanessa Michael Munroe … owes much to The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo. But Stevens stamps the novel with her own bleak, punishing, bullet-flying outlook …Out of that gloomy intensity comes edgy suspense.

A globe-trotting thriller. . . . The Informationist is an accessible, crisply told tale

Stevens’s blazingly brilliant debut introduces a great new action heroine, Vanessa Michael Munroe, who doesn’t have to kick over a hornet’s nest to get attention, though her feral, take-no-prisoners attitude reflects the fire of Stieg Larsson’s Lisbeth Salander….Thriller fans will eagerly await the sequel to this high-octane page-turner.

With exotic locations, a twisty plot and pleny of violent action it's a fresh and punchy thriller

Written with the muscular force of Lee Child and the political insight of Frederick Forsythe. No wonder Terminator director James Cameron has snapped up film rights

Massive in many senses, but none more so than its ability to exert a vice-like grip on the reader....Destined to be spy thriller of the year

As relevant as today's headlines. A scary trip through the shadowy world of international espionage. Just hope that Pilgrim is on our side. Terrific. No, on second thoughts, better than terrific

THRILLER OF THE MONTH - If the gizmos and bad guys of James Bond and Jason Bourne are a guilty pleasure, you'll love I Am Pilgrim

Fast-paced, slick and full of suspense...It will be the only thriller you need to read this year

A rollicking, yet thoughtful spy thriller which looks set to become a summer blockbuster... [I Am Pilgrim] has plenty of action, but at its heart the drama is cerebral and rich in character, a battle of wills and intellect which is more George Smiley than Jason Bourne

[Terry Hayes’] debut novel has been hyped as "the only thriller you need to read this year", and for once that isn't nonsense. I Am Pilgrim makes moussaka of its rivals

I Am Pilgrim is going to be big

I Am Pilgrim is a satisfying and ambitious book, written with skill and verve

Worthy of the hype ****

I Am Pilgrim is a fresh new take on the genre...and it’s one you won’t regret picking up

[I Am Pilgrim] has been a fantastic read: a big, solid, chunky, fast-paced, rip-roaring thriller, the love child of a manic union between Jack Reacher and James Bond.

Mr. Hayes’s globe-trotting book has more kicks, twists and winks than anything of its dusty genre has provided in a long time. You will be happily surprised to find a new thriller franchise with brains to match its brawn

Written in a heart-stopping pace, this literary thriller lands somewhere between Homeland and Breaking Bad and then transports you to a different level. It is part spy novel, part psychological thriller. Twists and turns. Emotionally complex characters. Relevant geopolitical issues.
