Review:
A breathless story of fear and courage. (Daily Telegraph)
Excellent ... Kolymsky Heights is up there with The Silence of the Lambs, Casino Royale and Smiley's People. (Toby Young Spectator)
Easily the best of the year. (Robert Harris, Books of the Year Sunday Times)
I've never read a thriller that so successfully transported me to a hitherto unimagined place. (Maxton Walker Guardian)
The master of the modern adventure story. (Daily Express)
One of the most powerful thrillers I have ever read. (Michael James The Times)
An outrageously good book ... Possibly better than any other thriller written over the last 25 years. (Daily Mail)
A tremendous thriller. (Observer)
An icy marvel of invention ... It is written with the panache of a master and with the wide-eyed exhilaration of an adventurer in the grip of discovery. Mr. Davidson has not only rescued one of the most familiar narrative forms of the era, the spy thriller; he has also renewed it. (James Carroll The New York Times Book Review)
In the dying days of the British Empire, it seemed as thought the adventure novel would die with it. But Buchan and H Rider Haggard were succeeded by a storyteller of genius, Lionel Davidson. His tales of espionage suited the Sixties, his voice that of an angry young man. Kolymsky Heights, his masterpiece, is back in print. (Jake Kerridge Daily Telegraph)
