"Imagine Umberto Eco's knack for the swashbuckling thriller of ideas crossed with an artful touch of Le Carre, and you have a fair idea of the novel's mood. . . . As a historical blockbuster, it boasts pace, colour, excitement and suspense to spare. . . . Q works like a charm." -- The Independent (London)

"This is a big book and a big canvas. . . . The panorama is big and bloody and breathtaking; a crush of colour and crowds, exotic locations and war. The sheer weight of its authors' historical research provides a convincing backdrop for the fictional heroes." -- The Times (London)
