'an entertaining new adventure ... [t]here’s genuine empathy for
those affected by the Great War, and it shows how emotional damage
distorts ethical values for men and women of all backgrounds. A
yarn with a heart'
*Historical Novels Society*
'Harris makes [Buchan's] creatures and places accessible by virtue
of their honour, their wit their courage and by immersing them in a
rattling good plot. "Richard Hannay Lives", if he ever died'
*West Highland Free Press*
'Harris revives the lost art of the atmospheric, erudite,
page-turning adventure story. A terrific read'
*Anthony O'Neill, author of Dr Jekyll and Mr Seek*
'Suitably swashbuckling, with plenty of nods to Buchan’s other
novels and works. Good fun and an admiring tribute'
*Scotland on Sunday*
