\nABOUT THE AUTHOR <\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n

\n

\n

James Herbert\u2019s triumphantly successful last novel, <\/p>\n

The Ghosts of Sleath<\/span>, was the latest in an unbroken line of No 1 bestsellers. It resoundingly confirmed his position not just as Britain\u2019s bestselling writer of horror fiction \u2013 a position he has held ever since publication of his first novel <\/p>\n

= but as one of our greatest popular novelists. <\/p>\n

His seventeen previous novels \u2013 which include <\/p>\n

The Magic Cottage, Haunted<\/span> and Portent<\/span> \u2013 have been hugely influential and widely imitated, and have sold more than 38 million copies worldwide. <\/p>\n

\n

\n

\u2018Horror hits a rich vein . . . Some books exude all <\/p>\n

the necessary qualities to succeed as a Hollywood <\/p>\n

blockbuster \u2013 one such example is \u201948<\/span> . . . a story for those with turbo-powered armchairs, who like their plots exploding with violent excitement and fear, spun in brash language and set in an apocalyptic backdrop. <\/p>\n

This is a perfect adrenalin-packed alternative to <\/p>\n

Booker Prize pretension.\u2019 <\/p>\n

\nDaily Express <\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n

\n

\u2018James Herbert\u2019s name has become synonymous with <\/p>\n

compulsive chilling storytelling.\u2019 <\/p>\n

\n

\n
\n<\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\u2018Relentless action . . . based on the presumption that <\/p>\n

the V-2 rockets which fell on London contained biological warfare devices. Three years later, most of the population is dying from an agent that makes the blood clot in the body. It falls to an American pilot to save the day in a <\/p>\n

cat-and-mouse game played out in luscious locations. from a deserted Buckingham Palace to the Savoy Hotel and <\/p>\n

the top of Tower Bridge.\u2019 <\/p>\n

\nThe Times <\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n

\n

\u2018A highy recommended inventive and fast-paced chiller <\/p>\n

from one of Britain\u2019s most popular novelists.\u2019 <\/p>\n

\nPublishing News <\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n

\n

\u2018He\u2019s back, and he\u2019s back on top form. Great Stuff. <\/p>\n

Vintage Herbert <\/p>\n

\nExeter Express & Echo <\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n

\n

\u2018Another success story . . . a truly terrifying urban <\/p>\n

nightmare. It would be unfair to classify James Herbert as purely a horror writer. His writing does, when necessary, shock, but his books are much more than providers of <\/p>\n

cheap thrills. He\u2019s a highly skilled storyteller who <\/p>\n

knows how to grip his readers from start to finish and <\/p>\n

all points in between.\u2019 <\/p>\n

\nBrighton Evening Angus <\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n

\n

\u2018Unlike his rivals, Herbert hasn\u2019t been afraid to chop and change, adding action-adventurism to his portfolio . . . Another surefire winner <\/p>\n

\nBirmingham Evening Mail <\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\u2018Raw power and confident storytelling . . . writing with his most powerful and disquieting voice for years, Herbert <\/p>\n

establishes with crucial authenticity this alternate England, piled high with decomposed bodies and littered with <\/p>\n

bedraggled survivors. Herbert is in total command of his craft . . . there\u2019s terror to be had from man\u2019s inhumanity to man, a theme that infects \u201948<\/span> like the deadly virus it so devastatingly describes.\u2019 <\/p>\n

\nSFX <\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n

\n

\u2018James Herbert\u2019s chilling look at what-might-have-been <\/p>\n

has all the hallmarks of another bestseller . . . <\/p>\n

a nail-biting climax.\u2019 <\/p>\n

\nPeterborough Evening Telegraph <\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n

\n

\u2018The breathtaking, action-filled new novel from the <\/p>\n

British master of horror fiction. It\u2019s a gripping read . . . set in and around familiar London landmarks and interweaving fact and fantasy. Herbert has created a mythology out of the Second World War which succeeds in blurring the <\/p>\n

edges of real historical events and his apocalyptic vision. Read it quick \u2013 highly recommended.\u2019 <\/p>\n

\nMoonlight Fables <\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n

\n

\u2018Action-packed, fast moving and a gripping read . . . <\/p>\n

a breathtaking climac on Tower Bridge.\u2019 <\/p>\n

Cardiff Western Mail <\/p>\n

\n

\n

\u2018Gripping, well-plotted, excellent stuff.\u2019 <\/p>\n
