Critic Reviews
“The book reads like a detective story, with the reader enthusiastically trying to outguess the writers”
Literary Review
Keeper of Genesis is an exciting book, highly topical and deservedly a best-seller Spectator
The trick is to keep reading. Start the book in the early evening and continue uninterrupted until you complete it in the small hours. The effect is wonderful... Your entire world view has been shifted a hundred yards to the right. You fall asleep thinking that nothing will ever be the same again Sunday Telegraph
