'Wonderful: boldly imagined and beautifully written - the best future-shock thriller for years.'
LEE CHILD
'A tantalizing, suspenseful odyssey of frustration, deceit, treachery, torture, hope, despair and ingenious sleuthing... Murray has so thoroughly thought through the ramifications of his conceit and conjured up such a dramatic plot and stellar cast of characters that he might have set a new standard for such tales.'
WASHINGTON POST
'A stunningly original thriller set in the world of tomorrow that will make you think about what's happening today.'

'In his fascinating debut, Murray has crafted something original ... an interesting new twist on a post-apocalyptic tale.'
