Brilliant. Thrilling, tense, dark, funny. Michael Crichton meets Indiana Jones. * C. J. Tudor, author of THE CHALK MAN *
Brilliant. Thrilling, horrifying, gripping . . . Like Michael Crichton had written The Descent * Martyn Waites *
The plot and writing are beautifully filmic in quality, bringing a sense of Crichton nostalgia. There's also that deep rooted almost mythological puzzle that begs to be solved.The imagery is haunting and garners a real threat towards the characters that will leave any reader's heart racing * Queens of Geekdom *
This is a great read, with some nice pop culture references and it feels like a mix of X-Files, Indiana Jones and Tomb Raider....it's truly gripping with some great humour, tension, excitement and some surprises along the dark and scary way. I loved this and can thoroughly recommend it * Orlando-books blog *
