The Mind Game

  The Mind Game
A splendidly engineered tale of deceit and illusion
The Guardian

Clever and deliberately modish. Behind the smoke and mirrors lies an intelligent, provocative novel - a stylish re-interpretation of The Magus for the MTV generation
The Independent

A stunning debut…A vital new voice in storytelling, Hector Macdonald washes away The Beach
The List

Very exciting, very shocking and surprising...The Mind Game is a huge achievement, crammed with new ideas about science and morality
BBC Open Book

An ingenious thriller
The Times

A genuinely compulsive read
The Observer

The Hummingbird Saint

  The Hummingbird Saint
Hard to put down
TimeOut

A mix of philosophy and political fable set in an exotic locale - John Fowles crossed with Conrad
The Guardian

The plot is fascinating and unusual; Mark is an intelligently drawn hero, and his moral struggle is involving at all times. What makes the novel particularly distinctive, though, is the Central American setting: sultry, threatening and the perfect backdrop for the moral equivocation that takes place
Good Book Guide

A chilling thriller that taps the surface of moral idealism in an imperfect world
The List

Does Macdonald write thrillers? Well, yes, although there is far more style and invention here than is often found in the genre
