"A really first-rate story, life-like, vigorous and genuinely exciting. Almost every chapter has its own unexpected thrill."
Ralph Straus in the Sunday Times
"Better than Jew Silss. A brilliant sensational novel."
Sylvia Lynd
"Indeed a work of genius. Mr. Preedy made his reputation as a historical novelist with General Crack. The Rocklitz which resembles Wuthering Heights in its impending doom and also, at the long last, in its glimpse of Love outliving Death, far transcei.ds that achievement."
Morning Post
"A gorgeously exciting story. There are scenes of quite unforgetable power. Here, emphatically, is a good novel."
