"Crazy Gran is a compelling and wholly original thriller. Author Gary Botting delves into the world of conspiracy and speculative fiction with such skill and versatility that the extraordinary plot comes to life, seeming, at times, dangerously real. The themes of twisted ideology, shadow agencies, and impending terror all speak to the world today, taking our current political climate, escalating the situation, and allowing a startlingly possible outcome to unfold before the reader’s very eyes. Mr. Botting as well utilizes dynamic and believable characters to draw us into the story. From the sinister to the brave, the heroes and villains of Crazy Gran ring true in every detail.
While the book is an artfully crafted thriller, it is also intelligent, political, and meaningful. There is a clear knowledge of international affairs in the writing and a deep understanding of recent global history which grounds it in frightening validity and the true potential for disaster. There is, as well, a complex ethics to Crazy Gran. Mr. Botting does not tell us what is right and wrong; rather, he shows us, demonstrating both the depths of wickedness and the heights of goodness in such a way as to instruct and inspire the reader without ever preaching. For fans of thrillers and the shadowy world of international intrigue, this is the book for you."
