Europe in Winter

A confident mix of sly satire and diffident humour with intricate jigsaw plotting and political acumen * Financial Times *
Understated stakes and imperturbable pace, deliberate density and intellectual intensity... but it's worth it, not least because what Hutchinson has to say about the world today is now more imperative that ever * Reactor *
It's only when one encounters a fiction that really does nail its Zeitgeist to the page that one realises how rare such stories are... a strip-lit fun-house reflection of the world in which you already live * Vector *
Hutchinson's sardonic style recalls the world-weary tone adopted by writers such as Len Deighton and John Le Carré * Strange Horizons *
Takes the familiar and turns it around, reinvents it, makes it new once more, and uses that reinvention to turn the sequence in a new and invigorating direction... A novel that continues to feel relevant and important -- Anglia Ruskin Centre for Science Fiction and Fantasy
Both a fine conclusion and an enticing set-up within a series that promises to continue overturning expectations as it grows * SFFWorld *
