Arvustused

'A marvelous, rollicking tale of derring-do that takes us from the alleyways of Constantinople to the doomed voyage of the Titanic. Not many write em like this these days, and mores the pity' Peter James



'This heart-stopping, high-voltage adventure will pick you up and deposit you in a Europe on the brink of the Great War, where only quick-witted spy Richard Hannay can save the day. So much more than a tribute to John Buchans iconic creation, A Very Dangerous Pursuit is Ian Fleming meets P. G. Wodehouse and the result is a beautifully written masterclass in joyful, edge-of-your-seat escapism. Five stars!' Janice Hallett



007 meets Tintin meets Sharpe. Richard Hannay is the hero we need in these dark, troubled times steel-willed, unstoppable, indestructible, yet big-hearted and generous of spirit, and driven by a conviction to do the right thing. This is a beautifully written book, and Miller delivers a riveting, rollicking, laugh-out-loud yarn Damien Lewis



'Ben Miller has the Richard Hannay riff down perfectly and it's delightfully pacy and atmospheric. It's a superb read' Simon Scarrow



'A joyful dive into an era of proper adventure with British charm and stiff upper lip, in tandem with the silliness of British humour. A delight!' Fern Britton



'An irresistible adventure, with thrills, spills, and lashings of old-fashioned charm' Tom Mogford



'Fantastic period detail funny, moving, and brilliantly gripping' Susan Lewis
