Review
"Another fat book offering plenty of entertainment" (Independent)
"Morden combines science fiction and fantasy in a novel with a cracking pace that pitches savagery and bigotry against reason" (TES)
"A big book and a big read . . . Action-packed, the plot is revealed gradually, drawing the reader on, with good descriptions of a colourful world" (The School Librarian)
"Highly recommended as a summer read for all sci-fi fans and might inspire the younger ones to ask deeper-probing questions" (thebookbag.co.uk)
"There is no doubt that this novel is compelling. The various mysteries in the story combine to keep the reader turning the page and the world in which it is set is fascinating" (writeaway.org.uk)
