Note: Book reviews often contain minor spoilers (actually, sometimes they
contain major spoilers), but I've done my best to only use non-spoilery
extracts. However, you are advised to follow any links below with caution!
"Packed with action and adventure. Gripping and fast-paced."

"Another excellent episode in what can only be described as a graphic novel (comic) without pictures!
Punchy, exciting, intelligent sci-fi with ethical conundrums and real emotional depth. The closet
book I could compare Sakkara to is probably Alan Moore's famous graphic novel Watchmen."

Book of the Month - December 06: "A cracking winter read... This fast paced thriller will have you on
the edge of your seat."

"This is a thoughtful treatment of what happens when every boy's dream of becoming an actual
super hero comes true... The characters are immediately engaging. Reading this
made me want to see a film version."
- Verbal issue #1, January 2007 (Magazine of the Verbal Arts Centre, Northern Ireland)
"Believable characters combined with fast moving text bring the story to life. Exciting, gripping
and just all round fantastic, this is superhero indulgence at its very best."

"Carroll's highly visual and spare writing style make this the perfect series for leading comic book fans into fiction."
- Department for Education and Skills, UK

"A non-stop ride that gathers momentum right up to the cliffhanger of an ending. Straight out of the
comic-book genre, this is a fun and involving story that promises to have a bang-up third
installment - can't wait!"
- Kirkus Reviews
