Rezensionen
'"Kingdom Come" is important, germaine, timely and creepy, a tidal wrack of ideas washed up on the artificial beach of our resort culture.' Will Self

'As outré as ever, and still as keen to understand the national psyche ... Ballard retains a clear-sighted, almost vatic quality' Spectator

'As fertile as ever ... "Kingdom Come" is impressively packed with brilliant apercus' Observer

'Ballard's vision is scary and utterly real ... compelling' Financial Times
