Review
'This novel of conspiracy and political intrigue creates a heady atmosphere reminiscent of Paul Auster...Smolen's spare style plays off nicely against the plot, and elaborate tapestry of twists and contradictions. Smolens (Cold) balances political commentary, excitement and heartbreak nicely, moving his career forward with sure-footed style.' -- Publishers Weekly 20020901 'A first rate political thriller' -- Boston Sunday Globe 20030130 Smolens's superior thriller is utterly absorbing -- The Times - The Invisible World 20030208 '"The Invisible World" enriches us, and subtly provokes us, while providing chills and thrills.' -- Boston Sunday Globe 20030130 'A perfecty-paced thriller that gently pulls you in.' -- Sunday Mirrior (on The Invisible World) 20021207 'A poignant and literate thriller' -- Guardian - on The Invisible World 20030126 'Achingly compelling' -- Booklist (on The Invisible World) 20021120 'Beautifully written and absorbing' -- Sunday Telegraph - Invisible World 20021210 'Smolens is excellent at physical detail, such as the crunch of the sand left in freshly cooked clams' -- Guardian - The Invisible World 20030126 "An enthralling cat and mouse adventure." -- FHM on Cold 20030126 'Smolens creates a marvellous atmosphere' -- Sunday Telegraph on Cold 20030126 'A mesmerising danse macabre' -- The Sunday Express on Cold 20030126 'COLD is a finely crafted, wild yarn set in the great north.
