Excellent. An entertaining mash-up of Fleming, Le Carré and the best of British detective fiction * Charlie Higson * Clever, cunning and quirky ... Quintessential Khan * Mick Herron * A wonderful novel, escapist and playful, but with moments of deep tenderness and serious comment * Ann Cleeves * Vaseem Khan creates a living, breathing modern Q with a fascinating history, a quirky and sardonic view of the world, and the analytical aptitude to solve crimes with his own brand of brainpower. * Raymond Benson, author of 007 Continuation Novels and the Felix Leiter Adventure, The Hook and the Eye * Not only is Quantum of Menace a superbly paced and plotted thriller, the flawed and vulnerable Q is a character with astonishing depth ... Written with real warmth and humour, Quantum of Menace is absolutely recommended * M. W. Craven *
