Review:
"Thrilling in every respect, but also hypnotic, fast-moving and intellectually challenging . . . Quite staggeringly good." (Daily Mail)
"It entertains us while it reflects with great profundity on the human condition . . . one of the best novelists around." (Piers Paul Read Spectator)
"Nicolson describes it as 'a thriller about the meaning of life' and that's pretty accurate . . . A genuinely thought-provoking read." (Mail on Sunday)
"Very good . . . Kafka lurks in the background through all this but Nicholson successfully contrives to supplant that author's fatalism with a hard-won optimism concerning how to remain human amid inhumanity." (The Times)
"A pacy, tense and often funny read." (Daily Telegraph)
