Press & Blog Reviews
Creators, former teachers Steve Barlow and Steve Skidmore, [are] at the top of their game with a tale of ancient magic, hidden worlds and bloodthirsty tribes... Exotic locations, super heroes, brilliant baddies and daredevil adventure... who could ask for anything more?
Lancashire Evening Post
A wonderfully colourful adventure story, full of larger than life characters both good and evil, and a real throwback to the ‘Ripping Yarns’ of yesteryear.
