"As though Brian Jacques and Quentin Tarantino went drinking one night" - Publishers Weekly
"Despite his menagerie of, dare I say cute, characters, Polansky’s sense of humour remains bone dry and just this side of black. It’s a story Tarantino would be proud to film, fur and all. It’s a story that could be voiced by John Wayne and Clint Eastwood and, like so many good westerns, it is not so much a story of vengeance as it is a story of violence and the men and women who know no other way of life." - Forbidden Planet
"A brilliant revenge tale" - Tor.com
"A story of loyalty, trust, backstabbing, betrayal and obsession and how, ultimately, it’s always easier to tear things down than it is to create." - Geek Syndicate
"A gripping prose, fascinating characters and excellently-paced storytelling. I really enjoyed this. A must-read of the year." - Civilian Reader
"There is bombastic boasting, dark grumbling, and the flash of knives in the dark. The final, suicide mission is told, blood and gore abound, betrayal, victory, and death. Who lives, who dies? Does it mean anything? Was it cold enough? Was it worth it…was it worth anything?" - Neth Space
"Fantastic. Humorous, dark, and riveting" - Bookworm Blues
