Critics Review
Purgatory Mount is mind-blowing.– Adrian Tchaikovsky
Brilliantly structured, bursting with ideas, and entirely its own thing. Very highly recommended * James Bradley *Purgatory Mount is mind-blowing. * Adrian Tchaikovsky *This novel deals with the upsetting and catastrophic consequences of war and amnesia/ memory loss diseases, whilst playfully pointing out contemporary human dependency on technology and mobile phones. Roberts has blown me away * The Fantasy Hive *
