"This book is a great family read; it has some of the best pirate banter that you will find...written with oodles of imagination, humour and wit...Conrad has created a fantastic start to an amazing adventure - I loved every minute embroiled in this story." Mr Ripley's Enchanted Books 20120212 "This book is fantasy at its very best. A brilliant story, matched with amazing writing and characters you want to grab from the page and give a huge hug, makes a book that is just un-put-downable!" Readaraptor 20120302 "Conrad Mason's descriptions of life in Port Fayt, his humour and his turn of phrase make The Demon's Watch a complete joy to read." Babbleabout 20120302 "This can only be described as a rip roaring adventure - you get sad moments, followed by laughs, mixed in with fighting and gore. This book really does offer something for everyone and should be enjoyed by all!!! If you are a fan of Pirates of the Caribbean or the works of Terry Pratchett, I think this book is made for YOU!!!" District YA 20120305 "Amid the swashbuckling and shoot-outs, the ethos and humour recall the straighter-faced Discworld books." SFX 20120307
