[A] timely and exciting story

The I

Duggan has crafted a pacy thriller with contemporary resonance that is underpinned by brilliant worldbuilding

The Irish Times

The Light Thieves is a feast of fun, fiction, fantasy and fear. Opens with a bang and never lets up until the last page. I loved it.

Eoin Colfer, author of the Artemis Fowl series

Fizzing with ideas, The Light Thieves is a wildly imaginative adventure which reads like a blockbuster movie.
