"Jon Evans seems to spend most of his time backpacking in places (Zimbabwe, the Balkans, Iraq) that even the most intrepid of us tend to avoid. Evans also finds time to write strong, politically motivated thrillers." - Chicago Tribune

"Thought-provoking ... Invisible Armies is an intriguing, pacy read, and Mr Evans shows great potential." - The Economist

"Evans has created a new genre, the travelogue as fast-paced action thriller." - Calgary Herald

"Evans contrives to slip the necessary specialist net-head detail into the plot without being boring or patronising. He can also pin down a character with a few details deftly brushed in." - The Times

"Evans can write." - The Washington Post
