Critics Review

Skinjob delivers. Bucket-loads of suspense and action zooming along to a spectacular, explosive finale. Bruce McCabe has got the recipe right first go * Daily Telegraph *Skinjob offers a horribly real tale of technopoly’s perils … a tight, entertaining yarn that foreshadows the data and sensor-driven world we will live in come the 2020s. Rating: 8.5⁄10 * The Australian *If any read is better deserving of the title ‘techno-thriller’, I cannot think of it. If writing was cricket, this novel would be a century on debut! A terrific read * The Courier Mail *A blend of Clive Cussler and Michael Crichton. The storyline is compelling, the race to save the day frantic, the villains properly dark and the heroes tough yet troubled. * Observer *A smart techno thriller set in a dark world of greed, corruption and sex * The Sun *
