Trade Review“A serious creative talent and all-round nice guy.”
"It's a giddy, white-knuckled ride to the very end.”
"Dan Hanks delivers a rip-roaring pulp adventure full of supernatural artefacts and boobytraps, insurmountable odds, and irredeemable villains."
"So cinematic, you can taste the buttered popcorn."
"Move over Indiana Jones, Captain Moxley has arrived and she won’t ask you twice!"
"Can a book at once beg for a prequel as much as a sequel?"
"Buckle up and enjoy the ride!"
"Hanks packs his pulpy, energetic debut with gritty violence, snazzy super-science, and high-flying adventure."
