Critics Review
Reynolds is easily one of the modern masters of science fiction… addictive, page-turning stuff.
Pirates in space, full of peril and high-jinks… This is a novel that’s elegantly plotted, full of surprises and, as first time round, rip-roaring fun. * SFX MAGAZINE *
Reynolds is easily one of the modern masters of science fiction… addictive, page-turning stuff. * STARBURST *
