“Black deftly blends historical fact and mythological debate with close-quarters combat and a spirit of adventure that seems so sorely missing from many titles in the genre these days. It often felt like what the The Da Vinci Code should have been, if Dan Brown had been able to do more research and ground himself in reality, rather than entering into conspiracy theories and other strange concepts. I thoroughly enjoyed Bel Nemeton, and cannot recommend it highly enough: for the last two days, it’s helped to keep my spirits up during an incredibly difficult time in my life, and what more could I possibly ask for from a book?”
