Reviews:
‘Here we have a tale that is Utopian-inclined yet with nail-biting realism. A near-future Earth coming to grips with an astronomical disaster has solutions maybe as bad as the problems. But this is more a story about people, their potential and consequences. It explores attitudes and reactions to events we can all relate to especially in the light of global political and geo-environmental issues we all face.

Ben Bamber is a writer to watch. He has vision and an urge to write well in such a way we feel compelled to read. I look forward to the sequel.
"I was genuinely interested in where this tale was heading and there are some fine ideas in here."

"The book is intriguing. I found myself unwilling to let the book go until I had finished it. I would definitely pick up the sequel if I were to come across it."

"Its post-apocalypse setting and ambience reminded me of Richard Cowper's Twilight of Briareus, Brian Aldiss' Greybeard and several of John Wyndham's books, whilst the cloud causing the problems gave echoes of Fred Hoyle's The Black Cloud. Because of this, it stimulated an affectionate nostalgia".
