"A vivid novel of rural Britain, which makes a powerful defence of its lasting value and decency"

Alan Duncan, MP Rutland and Melton.

"Dark: a book to be read!" Clarissa Dickson-Wright.

"A rolicking adventure." DT

"It reflects and gives voice to the anger presently felt throughout the countryside." -LB

"Ground-breaking...An important reflection of the times we live in." -MR

"Venator's account puts into fiction what everybody knows is happening but which few choose to confront...It will certainly wake people up to what the land's losing and what can be done about it." -RL

"At a time when the rights of minorities have become sacrosanct, it is extraordinary that a minority at the heart of Britain is persecuted by that country's very government. This novel examines the issues at stake, how things ever came to be in this state, and what might happen." -Dr J H

"This is not an elegy. Venator presents a vision of a new Britain - freed from interference." Dr A M

"Polemical, yet humanistic." -DA
