Action packed, fast paced and peppered with up to date technology, this is a gripping thriller which raises interesting undercurrents of social conscience...A strong desert setting and a corkscrew of a plot make this a terrific page-turner... read the whole review

Amanda Craig's Review in the Saturday Times:
The Chameleon in Stephen Davies' Outlaw is a mysterious Arab rescuer who uses horses, slings and conjuring tricks. Jake the tearaway and his Goth sister, Kas, find themselves kidnapped by African bandits. Pure good-hearted fun for fans of Anthony Horowitz and 10+

The Independent on Sunday:
Outlaw is a faintly old-fashioned tale of kidnap in Saharan Africa, complete with a Robin Hood figure, double-dealing policemen and British spies running amok. It's highly implausible but highly entertaining, and the hero, Jake, is engaging. Think The Riddle of the Sands with smartphones and clever apps. link
