Shortlisted for the People's Book Prize Spring 2011
'George Miller draws the reader into the turbulent world of Zinnian affairs and a battle to save the city's young outcasts from a repressive regime. There is much to enjoy and much to think about in this exciting fantasy, as narrator Jason finds his strength and endurance tested as never before.' - Border Counties Advertizer
'. . . gripping and very interesting' Bruce Kent
' . . . a work of epic proportions, reminding you of Tolkien and John Bunyan’s Pilgrim’s Progress' - Mavis Nicholson, Tanat Valley Chronicle
'Miller sees himself in the tradition of Swift and Orwell, using fantasy to undermine the hypocrisies and expose the horrors of a contemporary reality. The Buzzards of Zinn is perhaps the first imaginative portrayal of such current phenomena as ‘war on terror’, ‘asymmetric warfare’, and ‘collateral damage’, in which the most powerful nations attack broken and impoverished societies, destroying uncounted numbers of lives in the process.' - Jill Gough, Heddwch
