Editorial Reviews

'Some works of fiction are simply pure entertainment, while others go that extra mile; Reliance alerts us to just how close to the tipping-point the majority of our societies dwell.'

From the Publisher

5 Stars
Author Paul McMurrough has crafted an excellent, highly engaging dystopian disaster novel that delivers both realistic plot events and large-scale thrills as its story unfolds. The work is more plot and concept focused than character-led, but the central cast of key players is well drawn to allow us insight into their motivations and the struggles they face along the journey. I felt for Derek the most with the sacrifices and decisions he was forced to make, and I liked that the power of the individual team of characters had a major influence on the wider plot. The inner workings of society within this dystopian setting are also really well developed to present a realistic world where fear begins to creep in and anarchy is only ever a heartbeat away, which is very thrilling to read. Overall, I would recommend Reliance to fans of in-depth thriller novels and realistic dystopian worlds.
