'As ever, the plotting is meticulous and the pace relentless, but what is new is Alex's dawning compassion for other children.' - New Statesman.
'Pacy and ingenious, as usual, this novel demonstrates a high level of philosophical complexity as it considers the nature of cults, religious extremism and our responsibility for each other, as well as involving karate, explosions and jumping out of planes.' - Nicolette Jones, The Sunday Times & The Sunday Times Ireland.
