"* 'Debut of a roaring and prodigal talent.. Not so much a novel as a life experience. Don't miss it.' - Literary Review on DAMAGED * 'Good background, with an on-the-nail summary of Northern Ireland wheeling and dealing...and a wild Celtic streak that marks Conway as one to watch.' - The Guardian on DAMAGED * 'Imagine John le Carre on bad acid - edgy, twisted and very, very dark.' - Howard Marks on DAMAGED * 'A debut novel to rival The Beach.' - Publishing News on DAMAGED * 'Cruel, violent and lyrical, it's lain Banks meeting Alan Warner in Tom Clancy's missile silo. Excellent.' - Select on DAMAGED * 'A powerhouse of a book, a thriller that sends off literary sparks in all directions.' - Evening News on DAMAGED"
