“A genuine flavour of Verne . . . Very enjoyable.” —M. John Harrison

“The novel’s plot is complicated and immensely satisfying…. Mr Harrison skilfully inserts all the certainties and basic decencies of the Victorian novel into a revised contemporary setting. . . . It is a book which I can recommend with all my heart.” —Auberon Waugh

“The more technically minded gentlemen of the reading public will, I venture to say, find much that is enjoyable and most humorous in A Transatlantic Tunnel, Hurrah! Hurrah! for the most redoubtable Mr Harrison—may his imagination long continue in such a queer vein as this.” —Infinity Plus
