Reviews
It had me on the edge of my seat from page one.
An original and pacy debut
What many people, including me, are raving about right now is Adam Baker's OUTPOST. . . a stunning debut novel . . . you will want to be one of the first people to experience it.
Praise for OUTPOST
While ramping up the tension and confusion, Adam Baker also ramps up the action and despite the limited canvas of the Arctic landscape, manages to devise an impressive variety of situations for the characters
'It's the relentless pace, merging SF and horror elements, that makes Outpost such a compelling end-of-the-world story'
Outpost manages to satisfy with its mix of well drawn characters and action to deliver an interesting take on an overused genre
There's no denying the strength of Baker's prose. It's violent and blokey, but also intelligent. The first 100 pages, especially, are rich with harrowing detail about the last days of Saddam's regime... Juggernaut is a rewarding read
