There is plenty of historical detail. And intrigue...The Leader is a good read.
The Daily Express, April 19, 2004
This second novel by former journalist Guy Walters is masterfully crafted and genuinely frightening.
Swindon Evening Advertiser, March 13, 2004
A clever tale that twists history upside down...non-stop action all the way and a thoroughly good read.
Front Magazine, October 2003
This has everything you'd want in an historical novel...it's hand stuck to the pages stuff.
The Daily Mail, May 21, 2004
A convincing and intelligent thriller...[Armstrong] is a good remake of Richard Hannay.
South Wales Echo, 27 March 2004
A fine ‘what-if’ work.
The Good Book Guide, March 2004
A convincingly icy vision of what could have happened.
