"Fast-moving and punchy, this well-written novel should hold the attention of young teenagers used to the cut and thrust of video gaming. With a clever and exciting plot and strong and endearing characters, this is an Oliver Twist for the 21st century." -- Sunday Business Post * Sunday Business Post *
"The attention to detail is phenomenal - everything has been thoroughly researched from the gadgets, the computer hacking, the undercover surveillance and genetics. All make the reading both fascinating and inspiring. Nevertheless, he has been able to balance this technological combination to create an amazing interactive thriller which is a winner. This is the best fantasy based book that I have read this year; I loved reading every single page." -- Mr Ripleys Enchanted Books * http://mrripleysenchantedbooks.blogspot.co.uk/2013/03/book-review-oisin-mcgann-rat-runners.html#!/2013/03/book-review-oisin-mcgann-rat-runners.html *
