Critics Review
It bracingly reanimates an era of frenzy that longed to burn the world clean
It bracingly reanimates an era of frenzy that longed to burn the world clean * The Guardian *
The mud and blood, visions and ideals of 16th-century Europe come back to gruesome, glorious life * The Independent *
Big and bloody and breathtaking: a crush of colour and crowds, exotic locations and war. * The Times *

If ever there was a novel that deserved to win prizes, accolades and plaudits, it is Q - A rich, inventive and immensely powerful book - Q is a great novel, one that tells us about ourselves and how we came to be here. * Scotland on Sunday *
Luther Blissett
The former Watford and AC Milan striker Luther Blissett had nothing to do with the writing of this book. The real authors of Q live in Bologna.
