Media Reviews
Chilling and remarkable... Moss is a master at evoking suspense * Guardian *
Unnerving, ambitious... utterly absorbing and - appropriately enough - very chilling * Daily Mail *
I revelled in Cold Earth. Brilliant -- Penelope Lively
A sure-fire success -- Margaret Drabble * Guardian *
Moss is such a master at evoking the suspense of both the dread and the anticipation of this situation that readers will be tempted to turn to the end of the book to relieve anxieties. Try to control yourself, if only for the sake of appreciating her technique -- Jane Smiley * Guardian *
Moss's stark writing delivers stinging splashes of cold water. Every element of the novel is distilled for purity of purpose. Holding it, the white cover and the blue edges imitate an artefact carved from ice * The Times *
A thought-provoking, suspenseful work that leaves the reader in no doubt about the fragility of the human condition: not just of the individual struggling to survive a hostile environment, but of a species that is changing its home planet in potentially deadly ways * Observer *
A masterful study of the panic brought about by total isolation * Metro *
