Reviews
'A skilfully woven adventure ... Philip Womack is an author to be watched' Literary Review 'A page-turner ... Womack sets his story against a background of the current fear of terrorism and the panic of the financial meltdown, merging the very real world with the fantastical with great success' The Daily Mail 'From the opening page, Philip Womack's fabulous second novel, The Liberators seizes the reader by the hand and hurtles them onwards, upwards and sideways in a pacy, deftly woven adventure that is at once firmly rooted in reality ... Womack writes with great skill, empathy and verve, and this book will leave 10-to-13-year olds mesmerised' The Telegraph 'A well-written and well plotted supernatural thriller ... This is a proper copper-bottomed magical story of the kind once written by Alan Garner and John Masefield, and it uses the sinister side of Greek myth with brio ... Children of 10+ will love its mix of modern violence and ancient myth' The Times
