‘A fast-paced plot buoyed by a wealth of paranormal intrigue… Jensen skirts the moral boundaries without shrillness, exposing humanity as less wicked than wilfully myopic.’

TLS

‘Jensen is a talented writer who makes her characters entirely plausible… Pair this with a supporting cast of dedicated scientists, bureaucratic villains and a narcissistic fundamentalist preacher, and you’ve got the ingredients for a first-class page-turner.’

National Post, Canada

‘Jensen’s pace at raising the stakes is enacted with the precise efficiency of a pro; she satisfies the reader’s burgeoning desires at every turn, pulling out the stops for the novel’s climax, where she delivers titanically… A rompingly good apocalyptic read.’

Toronto Globe and Mail

‘One of the very few books I have dreamed about… A terrifically gripping read.’

Romola Garai, Observer Books of the Year
