Product Description

Review

`A skilfully woven adventure . . . Philip Womack is an author to be watched'
--Literary Review

`A skilfully woven adventure . . . Philip Womack is an author to be watched' -- Literary Review, February 2010

`A page-turner . . . Womack sets his story against a background of the current fear of terrorism and the panic of the financial meltdown, merging the very real world with the fantastical with great success'

The Daily Mail --The Daily Mail

`A well-written and well plotted supernatural thriller . . . This is a proper copper-bottomed magical story of the kind once written by Alan Garner and John Masefield, and it uses the sinister side of Greek myth with brio . . . Children of 10+ will love its mix of modern violence and ancient myth'

The Times --The Times

`The kind of thriller that 10 to 13 year-olds − boys in particular − love and parents approve of because the excitement and gore is underpinned by Greek mythology and topical references to a global financial meltdown . . . One to watch'
--The Sunday Telegraph

'Gripping and powerful...Hugely enjoyable, intelligent and exciting' --The School Librarian

`A superlatively well-written supernatural thriller'
-- The Times

'A rollercoaster of a read from beginning to end!' --Bookfest

`Skilfully wrought, a perfectly intriguing blend of magic and realism and lots and lots of fighting, which would suit a boy of about 10'
--Telegraph

`With elements of John Masefield's The Box of Delights, it reveals a weird and wonderful imagination'
--The Times

`The Liberators is a modern supernatural thriller with all the required pace, tension and question marks to keep readers turning the pages' --South China Morning Post

5.0 out of 5 starsBrilliant
By B. W. Whately on 21 Jan. 2010
Format: Paperback
This will surely become a classic - beautifully writing and an awesome plot. Magical and a quite frightening, interlaced with intelligent and thoughtful themes and ideas. I couldn't put it down. I was literally reading as i walked around the house and up and down stairs.

5.0 out of 5 starsFantastic
By Thomas Phipps on 2 Feb. 2010
Format: Paperback
Soon to be a classic among everyone, The Liberators Beautifully creates a world of wonder and excitement. The description overwhelms you to the point where your jaw hangs open in awe at the way Womack's sentences beautifully word the scenes. I was sucked into the book from the very first chapter. It subtly blends the characters relationships to make them feel life like. A fantastic book which should in no time be a classic.

5.0 out of 5 starsAn exhilarating read
By Mr. EW Elias on 12 July 2012
Format: Paperback Verified Purchase
As other reviewers have commented, Womack manages to bring something new to this genre. It's intelligent, gripping fantasy that re-examines standard notions of good and evil - and manages to make arguments of classical debate relevant in a modern setting.

Entertaining, magical, frightening, and witty... This is a book that all 11-15 year olds (particularly) should read, and raises Womack into the same lofty bracket as Alan Garner (Elidor/ The Owl Service) and Susan Cooper (The Dark Is Rising sequence).

5.0 out of 5 starsGreat book.
By Bluejun on 3 Jan. 2014
Format: Paperback Verified Purchase
Highly recommended for 9-14 (depending on reading sophistication) -- a really well-written edge of the seat read with elements of detective/supernatural, a great London setting and strong relationships.
