Industry Reviews

Long sets his extraordinary thriller in a global labyrinth of unexplored tunnels and caves, with an odyssey to hell itself. Unassisted by the technology that can no longer aid his protagonists, he takes us on a dizzying journey from the Himalayas through Bosnia to the bed of the Pacific in a vertiginous plunge into the depths of greed. The structure of the book is totally persuasive, with great blocks of narrative forming an epic span that leads inexorably to a terrifying confrontation with satanic forces. It's hardly surprising that the publishers invoke both Michael Crichton and Stephen King, as their influence is palpable. But Long's book is a unique achievement that reads like no other. And few who take this terrifying journey are likely to forget it. (Kirkus UK)
