Praise for Simon Conway: The Saboteur takes his storytelling to a new level * Financial Times, on The Saboteur * A novel with visceral thrills and the grand chess of international espionage. Throw in a hero and an anti-hero for our times, and you have one of the best thrillers of recent years * Misha Glenny, author of McMafia, on The Stranger * The Stranger renders Simon Conway one of the 21st century's masters of the thriller genre * Jon Snow on The Stranger * There's a healthy crop of younger spy writers just now, and Simon Conway is among the pick of the bunch. His military background renders the action scenes bloodily and the novel's apocalyptic scenario all too plausibly * The Times on The Saboteur * Violent, authentic and alarmingly believable story about modern spying * the Sun on The Saboteur * It's a hugely entertaining read, featuring the nastiest, most charismatic villain of recent years, and barely pauses for breath throughout * Mick Herron, author of Slough House, on The Saboteur * Top echelon, adrenalin-pumping entertainment all the way * Irish Independent on The Stranger * This book puts Simon Conway into the top flight of thriller writers probing the darker corners of the 'war on terror' * Allan Little, BBC special correspondent on The Stranger *
