David Gemmell
A real treat, a new series you really can't afford to miss.
FALCATA TIMES
A book with heart that lovers of futuristic action-stories will love.
SFF WORLD
If you're looking for fast-paced dragon-flavoured action with a whole heap of heart, then look no further.
THE ELOQUENT PAGE
Pure pulp nonsense, but utterly compelling.
SFX
Barclay does dragons the way dragons should be: fire-breathing death-from-above terror machines; the only things more badass are the people who ride them
Stephen Deas
a stunning blend of fantasy and scifi... I cannot recommend this book highly enough.
PARMENION BOOKS
Barclay is one of our story-telling gems; he's given us a hard-biotech future set in an all-too believable worn out world, where exotic part-alien creatures have replaced military hardware. Intense action scenes with dogfighting dragons flown by elegantly flawed pilots, and manipulated by devious politicians meant I read this in one sitting. And best of all is the Heart Of Granite itself, an astonishing battle behemoth that would make Godzilla run away with his tail between his legs.
