Media Reviews
Secrets are unveiled with a masterful sense of pace ... Olsson has the page-turning power of Michael Crichton The Sun A colourful blockbuster thriller couched in distinctly cinematic terms The Independent 'Chain of Events' has a conceit at its heart that is so simple and clever I wish I'd thought of it. If you like your clocks ticking and your end of the world nighing and your pace fast and relentless, all shot through with a little bloody pandemic and code cracking, then boy are you ever going to love this book. I did. Simon Toyne I loved it absolutely and with passion - I wish I could start all over again now with no knowledge, yet another reminder for me of why I read Liz Loves Books The tension never lets up as the stakes get higher and higher in this fast-paced thriller. Chain of Events is an exciting and entertaining read and an impressive debut novel for Swedish screenwriter Fredrik T Olsson Izzy Reads Each page is action-packed, filled with enough detail and thrill to wind you up so much the anticipation could set you off like a top ... I loved this book. naturalbri-pursuitsoflife.blogspot.co.uk Olsson's debut, a world-in-peril thriller, gets high marks for developing an original concept and building suspense Publishers Weekly Exhilerating. Utterly exhausting. Totally addictive. Unbelievably clever and if you want your thrillers to be, well you know, actually thrilling, you have come to the right place. Liz Loves Books Swedish scriptwriter Olsson's first novel amps up the action via a doomsday scenario set in Europe ... Olsson lines up a sympathetic and well-developed cast of characters, inserts them into some interesting places, and allows very few dull moments, especially once the action really gets rolling. An end-of-the-world-as-we-know-it thriller featuring two unlikely, but very likable, protagonists. Kirkus Don't wait for the film, read it now - before it's too late! (5 stars) Weekend Sport
