Review:
Nail-biting, boldly plotted... A mesmeric climax anticipates post-war existential fiction. By any standards: a masterpiece (INDEPENDENT)
We are in classic British adventure thriller territory - think Buchan - with an upper-class Englishman showing his stiff upper lip to best effect... A page-turner if ever there was one! (GOOD BOOK GUIDE)
The book... has lost none of its appeal as a tale of survival against the heaviest of odds (DAILY MAIL)
Rogue Male is probably the most famous chase thriller ever, influencing an entire generation from Frederick Forsyth to Lee Child (CATHOLIC HERALD)
This is a completely terrific read, a perfect example of its kind and one we'd recommend to lovers of classic thrillers (EASTERN DAILY PRESS)
