Ratings and reviews

Loved this book. Fantastic story. One of those books you can't put down. Only trouble is, I've also just finished the last two Jack West novels and Cobalt Blue and I believe that means I have read all Matthew's books. Damn. Is there a possibility he can find a place where time runs much much slower than here, so he can write 10 books (or more) a year. Loved the Interceptor movie too. Regards Simon 📖📖📖

A great book - bit different to the others and also a bit slower. I loved the twists at the end but felt like the conflicts could have been drawn out a little. The fact that there was nothing the characters could do to avert the end really hit me, as did the last scene with Jenny and her pops. Ill definetly be giving my mum and dad a hug when I see them next!

Reilly writes well. And I like that he tries to make the oligarch's sweat a bit. But there were obvious logic fumbles - I won't say what they were because it is still a good read from a good author, and I don't want to spoil it for anyone.
