Reviews

Another fat book offering plenty of entertainment

—— Independent

Morden combines science fiction and fantasy in a novel with a cracking pace that pitches savagery and bigotry against reason

—— TES

A big book and a big read . . . Action-packed, the plot is revealed gradually, drawing the reader on, with good descriptions of a colourful world

—— The School Librarian

Highly recommended as a summer read for all sci-fi fans and might inspire the younger ones to ask deeper-probing questions

—— thebookbag.co.uk

There is no doubt that this novel is compelling. The various mysteries in the story combine to keep the reader turning the page and the world in which it is set is fascinating

—— writeaway.org.uk

Will gratify book lovers and fantasy experts alike

—— The Horn Book

A refreshing and unique tale – one that rises above the clichés it could so easily have fallen into – that entertains on every level. It’s pitched perfectly to its audience (as well as those who are a few years older...) and, while only time will tell if it becomes a classic, it treats the familiar tropes with care and respect, leaving the reader wanting more after the final page has been turned.

—— Starburst

This is a brilliant story, and Django Wexler is a name to remember - as if you could forget it!

—— Books Monthly, Children's Book of the Month

Rich and dense and creative
