Praise for Inside the Cage

"Whyman is a great writer for teens. A thriller and a half"
Birmingham Post

"Tense, extravagantly well-plotted, fantastical yet utterly credible ... a great book."
Times Educational Supplement

"If Robert Ludlum ever wrote a book for young adults, it would probably be a lot like Whyman's action-packed techno-thriller."
