Review
A crisply-written, fast-paced thriller that makes assured use of cutting-edge science fiction ideas. -- Ken MacLeod, best-selling author of 'The Star Faction'
A new voice in British SF that we should all be taking an interest in. -- Joe Gordon, Forbidden Planet International
An interesting debut novel that successfully blends cyberpunk and technothriller and presents a few good SF ideas along the way. -- Andy Sawyer, The Alien Online
The narrative is thoughtful and the way Hocking makes events from different decades mirror each other shows quiet skill. -- The Guardian
This is a multi-stranded, complicated novel that provides a very clever and satisfying denouement. -- Tregolwyn Book Reviews
Understated, almost 1950s feeling. Layering of the narrative is thoughtful...shows quiet skill. -- The Guardian, February 26, 2005
