PR FOR ALMOST INVINCIBLE
"Burdon's research for Almost Invincible was far reaching but the payback has been enormous. Landscapes spring to glorious life, there is an evocative sense of time and place, and authentic dialogue which adds colour and texture to a torrid tale of love, rivalry and genius."
