Here are a few enthusiastic press quotes for Wolkenbruch’s Reckless Rendezvous with the Seductive Spy:

»The bestseller sequel is a bold step away from part one: instead of counting on Swiss local colour and romcom-style charm, Meyer goes for fast-paced action.«
Philippe Zweifel / Tages-Anzeiger, Zurich

»By taking conspiracy theories to the absurd, Meyer makes it clear how mendacious they are – so far-fetched that the only possible response is laughter. [...] A pleasure to read.«
Martina Läubli / NZZ am Sonntag, Zurich

»The world as a monstrous grotesque, the insanity that has long since become part of our present-day lives flashing up in lurid colours.«
Felix Münger / srf.ch

»The Swiss author Thomas Meyer has written a darkly comic political satire.«
Karin Grossmann / Sächsische Zeitung, Dresden

»It almost makes you want to cry out: ›Now that’s Jewish humour!‹«
Alexia Weiss / Wiener Zeitung

»And so Meyer reaches for the only weapon remaining to him against stupidity and ignorance: the razor-sharp sword of black humour.«
Claudia Senn / Annabelle, Zurich

»Thomas Meyer’s strident satire novel is merely the continuation of the real insanity of digital comment culture.«
Hansruedi Kugler / Luzerner Zeitung
