Every now and again a review takes you by surprise for its depth and consideration.  This was the case with this review by Stuart Atkinson, who describes himself on Twitter as a frustrated Martian!

He says, “Stuart Clark is a very good writer, a real “science translator” who is able to take a complicated subject and trim it down to the essentials and basics. He doesn’t do ”fluffy” or “dumbed down”, but treats his readers like adults and with respect.”

You’ll see that Stuart criticises the publisher’s choice of grey for my name on the cover because it rather disappears into the black.  I should mention that before I saw the book, the editor at Quercus called to apologise for the design error and promised to put it right on all subsequent reprints.  In fact, thanks to you lovely readers for buying so many copies, there has already been a reprint and my name is now in glorious yellow.
