"'We will see much discussion of the strike this year... None will be more atmospheric, affecting, thoughtprovoking and readable than GB84.' Yorkshire Post; 'A conspiracy thriller laced with apocalyptic poetry.' Independent; 'The British James Ellroy, Peace has also moved from the crime genre to a broader, bloodier canvas, excavating the dank world of Eighties politics.' Jack; 'GB84 is a crowded, ambitious, quick-moving novel, and as such is the literary equal of the epic events it commemorates.' Terry Eagleton, Guardian; 'An enormously significant novel.... It's hard to think of another writer who could capture that picture so suggestively and so thrillingly.' Sunday Times; 'Haunting, seminal, bleak, iconic, furied.' Observer"  Be the first to write a customer review
