Praise for Quicksilver Rising: `Quicksilver Rising is brilliantly conceived and beautifully constructed. From the first gripping action scene it had me hooked. It has all the ingredients to become a classic of the genre' David Gemmell `Nicholls tells a story into which the reader is dragged as willing victim. He has an eye for action and character, keeps the pace high, plot finely tuned and pages turning; and in Quicksilver Rising has delivered a hugely entertaining read.' James Barclay `Stan Nicholls puts modern dialogue into the mouths of high fantasy characters and echoes of our politics into the kingdoms he creates. Easily as much fun as you'd expect.' Jon Courtenay Grimwood, Guardian `Nicholls knows his stuff ... deft characterization ... full of action, magic, romance and politics' Starburst Exhilarating, innovative fantasy writing ... delivered with tremendous panache' Publishing News `A cracking blend of high fantasy adventure and thought-provoking political thriller - a real feast for intelligent imaginations.' Louise Cooper 'Fast-paced, high adventure ... a bare-knuckle fight with a magic punch.' Mark Chadbourn
