Olsson's debut, a world-in-peril thriller, gets high marks for developing an original concept and building suspense - Publishers Weekly
Exhilerating. Utterly exhausting. Totally addictive. Unbelievably clever and if you want your thrillers to be, well you know, actually thrilling, you have come to the right place. - Liz Loves Books
Swedish scriptwriter Olsson's first novel amps up the action via a doomsday scenario set in Europe . . . Olsson lines up a sympathetic and well-developed cast of characters, inserts them into some interesting places, and allows very few dull moments, especially once the action really gets rolling. An end-of-the-world-as-we-know-it thriller featuring two unlikely, but very likable, protagonists. - Kirkus
