'A gripping and atmospheric tale with a powerful sense of place' -- Kirsty Wark 'Beautifully crafted - an exciting and moving tale of adventure, a what-if story of subtlety and power' -- Alexander McCall Smith 'A gripping and emotional story' -- Tom Conti 'Immensely readable derring-do in a terrifying vision of Scotland' -- Sally Magnusson 'Ingeniously plausible ...a fine galloping story. Dwells lovingly on the scenery and atmosphere of the Borders and St Andrews. ... A fine act of homage to Buchan. Comfort reading, whether we are subjected to another lockdown or lucky enough to escape' -- Allan Massie * The Scotsman * 'Fans of John Buchan and Robert Harris have a rare treat in store in this ambitious re-imagining of the aftermath of the Second World War' * Sunday Post * 'This all too plausible and atmospheric reimagining of the end of WW2 hits hard as it turns history on its head. ... Moffat's ability to walk through time with his words [makes it] all too easy to fall into this story and believe it is real. Action-packed and succinctly told, a chilling slice of speculative fiction' * LoveReading *
