‘The plot was thrilling . . . but what is all the more thrilling is the fantastic way Mariani moulds historical events into his story.’

‘What do I love about the Ben Hope series? There’s always going to be a massive body count (but that’s part of the fun), and Ben Hope always manages to survive (thank God I say);but the real reason I READ this series is because I’m going to come away having learned something new . . .I think that’s the secret of the success of these books. Each one makes you want to find out more. Am I looking forward to meeting Ben Hope again in the future? Oh yes!’
