Recenzii

" - viciously satirical. Wallace - uses his insider knowledge to take a delicious sideswipe - portraying a frighteningly plausible scenario of political and media manipulation." The Big Issue " - Killing the Messenger is very of the moment. Wallace creates a plausible conspiracy with all the farce, stress, power-chasing and scandal that is part and parcel of government." Gutter Magazine " - a timely political thriller. Wallace has written an engaging tale about New Labour's final days in government and an unscrupulous use of advertising and technology - Fast-paced and filled with more buzz words than an urban dictionary, Killing the Messenger explores the interrelations between mass manipulation and violence." Scottish Review of Books " - it would make uncomfortable reading for Mr Blair." Daily Mail
