Praise for Goldrush: Vanguard Prime Book 1

Think CHERUB, Alex Rider and Artemis Fowl all rolled into one ... then you've got Vanguard Prime!

DMAG

Steven Lochran's first novel is a fast-paced action text ... the plot remains tense and the sense of drama and excitement are maintained until the closing pages. Lochran has created interesting and complex characters with plenty of scope to develop them further and will appeal to readers in the 10 to 14 plus age range.

Children's Book Council of Australia

Pacy … plenty of teenage humour … Lochran's thorough approach to constructing his superhero world pays off.

The Courier Mail

Sam is a character we can all get behind – the plot is fast-paced and, along with the fact that the elite squad contains some strong and capable female superheroes, I'm more than happy to recommend this to readers of 10 and up.

Readings

I LOVED this book! … fast paced and exciting and I stayed up until 11.30pm to find out what happened in the end.

Mummy Ate Me blog

An action-packed adventure for those who enjoy superhero stories like The Avengers and X-Men … A great read and highly recommended – particularly for boys aged 10+.
