Críticas:

'And now for something completely different. The story moves along briskly and has elements of fantasy, horror, philosophy and dark comedy, all of which is intriguing.' - The Weekend Gold Coast Bulletin Combines fantasy and crime, Harry Potter and Sherlock Holmes, the fanciful and the hardboiled. Frei's imagined world sparkles with invention... the wit and originality of The Stranger will appeal to fantasy lovers looking for something new. - The Age The fictional Max Frei is a James Dean in Harry Potter's clothing... The Stranger shudders forward with each fast-paced escapade and ill-fated love interest, drawing us deeper into Frei's alternative universe. - Time Out

Reseña del editor:

Max Frei, and the LABYRINTHS OF ECHO series, is a multi-million copy selling Russian literary sensation appearing in English for the first time. Intriguing, original, remarkable and wry . . . THE LABYRINTHS OF ECHO is a piece of absolute enchantment.

` "Splash a bit of enchantment into my glass" . . . there is no better phrase to describe the state that a reader may find themselves in when exposed to this strong, absolutely legal, literary narcotic which goes by the name of Max Frei.' - Stolichniye Novosti

If it weren't for bad luck, Max Frei wouldn't have any luck at all.

A self-described twenty-something `classic loser', an insomniac, hardened smoker, a glutton and a loafer, there's nothing much going for Max Frei . . . at least not until he arrives in the magical city of Echo. Summoned to the city by the head of the Department of Absolute Order, Sir Juffin Halli, Max's dreams are becoming a reality. But as with all dreams-come-true its not quite the reality Max expected; he's about to become a secret agent, tasked to solve extravagant, impossible crimes with nothing but his wits and a handful of unexplained magical abilities to recommend him.

Max is going to be thrown into the fray - and he can't even have a cigarette first . . .
