Fast-paced and action-packed, Jeff Norton writes an addictive novel with a creative setting.
Totally captivating.
Thought-provoking... bang up to date.
A tense, dramatic story with plenty of food for thought, packed full of action and many twists to keep you gripped to the end.
A fast, furious and fun-packed read, the kind of book that gets youngsters raised on a diet of social networking, video games, satellite TV and the internet interested in reading again.
A fantastic, imaginative journey.
I was soon bowled over and captivated.
Gripping.
As addictive as virtually any game.
Boys who might normally play sport or computer games rather than read will be drawn to this book with its fast-paced storyline, compelling characters and topical themes of fuel shortages, climate change and economic meltdown.
