The house of the scorion is a violent jarring speed-rap of a novel that generates nearly constant suspence. Brilliantly plotted and perfectly paced. A plot driven blend of suspence and science fiction... i couldn't stop reading. Truly engrossing.

One of my very favourite books; I have read it four times now. This was the book that got me into reading. I went on to read all of Nancy Farmer's books. Doctor-at-Bass! T. A.
