A swashbuckling thriller - Pirates of the Caribbean meets Firefly - that nevertheless combines the author's trademark hard SF with effective, coming-of-age characterisation. - GUARDIAN
A bold space opera. - Peter F. Hamilton, Shortlist Magazine
A must-read... an unexpectedly personal and emotionally-driven tale of determination and retribution - with some great twists along the way and a gutsy heroine who will appeal to fans of young adult literature. - STARBURST
A blindingly clever imagining of our solar system in the far flung future. - THE SUN
A rollicking adventure yarn with action, abduction, fights, properly scary hazards, very grisly torture and even ghosts of a sort. - THE DAILY TELEGRAPH
By far the most enjoyable book Reynolds has ever written. - SFX
The World of Revenger is undeniably fascinating, and with Reynolds as your storyteller, a journey into it is definitely worthwhile. - SCIFINOW
Featuring dollops of derring-do and not a few space battles too, Revenger might be Reynold's most accessible solo effort yet. - TOR.COM
Basically, it's TREASURE ISLAND meets MOBY DICK, set in space, with a nice BLADE RUNNER-ish colour palette and a cast of characters worthy of a Terry Gilliam movie. I loved it. - JOANNE HARRIS
Reynolds makes the human story compelling in a narrative that, spiced with bizarre characters aplenty and propelled by vengeance, smacks intriguingly of everything from Robert Louis Stevenson's Treasure Island to Mad Max. - NATURE
An excellent, gripping piece of work - SFANDFREVIEWS
A delightful romp through the spaceways. - INTERZONE
