“The Witch Who Came in from the Cold is a chilly evocation of a different kind of Cold War.”
– Charles Stross, author of the Laundry Files series
“Take a double shot of Le Carré, a dash of Deighton, a twist of Quiller, a splash of Al Stewart’s “The Year of the Cat,” throw in a jigger full of elemental magic, mix well … and voilà ! The Witch Who Came In From The Cold.”
– Victor Milan, author of The Dinosaur Lords
“The occult love child of John le Carre and The Sandbaggers.”
– Marie Brennan, author of The Memoirs of Lady Trent
Prague. 1970. Two things this city was lousy spies and witches. Â
"As soon as I saw that, I was instantly hooked, and the pilot jacked the intrigue to the max. Two female Soviet spy witches, an American spy with something weird drilling magical holes in his head, and a world of secrets within secrets in a locale where old-world myth and the Cold War face off, pedal to the metal . . . it’s awesome. Or as we said in 1970, Far out.”
– Sherwood Smith, author of Crown Duel
