"Johannes (Cabal) is one of the most interesting fictional characters of our still-new century." Huffington Post

"Jonathan L. Howard is a supremely talented writer and the Johannes Cabal series makes for superb reading. It would be easy at this point to say that if you like Rankin or Fforde or Pratchett or Holt then you will love these books, but while it may well be true it would be doing Howard a disservice." Sci-Fi-London

"(KATYA'S WAR is) is a highly effective, thought provoking novel." Philip Reeve, author of the Predator Cities series.

"A really well imagined world, detailed and utterly believable, great mix of technical detail and breathless action." Charlie Higson, author of the Young Bond series.

"Imagine THE HUNT FOR RED OCTOBER meets RETRIBUTION FALLS. Rich in the character development and packed full of underwater wonders from prow to stern, KATYA'S WORLD is exactly enjoyable as all that." Niall Alexander, Tor.com
