Publishers Weekly said, "Hemon’s workmanlike prose underscores his piercing wit, and between the murders that bookend the novel, there’s pathos and outrage enough to chip away at even the hardest of hearts." Booklist's Donna Seaman agreed with the sentiment: "Hemon’s sentences seethe and hiss, their dangerous beauty matched by Velibor Bozovic’s eloquent black-and-white photographs, creating an excoriating novel of rare moral clarity." Carol Anshaw, writing for Los Angeles Times added, "Hemon is immensely talented-a natural storyteller and a poet, a maker of amazing, gorgeous sentences in what is his second language." Numerous reviewers highlighted Hemon's prose. Everything in Hemon’s beautiful new novel trembles within this matrix, where a story’s force or charm is at least as significant as its veracity." True stories, false stories, good stories, rotten stories. Glyn Maxwell with London Review of Books commented, "Stories. Kirkus called the book " literary page-turner that combines narrative momentum with meditations on identity and mortality." ‘The Lazarus Project’ is available to watch now on SKY Max and NOW TV.The Lazarus Project received starred reviews from Booklist, Kirkus Reviews, and Publishers Weekly.

The team created atomic mushroom clouds, blast waves and compression rings with heavy smoke clouds and ground fires to destroy the cityscapes built up in 3D. Each time there is an apocalypse, the Lazarus team turns back time by making a phone call, returning everyone back to the checkpoint. Highly detailed CG assets were then sculpted, including the recognizable Haussmann buildings, city landmarks and central European foliage.”Ī major element throughout the storytelling were the nuclear explosions in a multitude of locations. Pedrom Dadgostar, Head of 3D adds: “With camera crews and crashing cars on every corner, this was not a simple task! The team pre-agreed on the best architectural solutions for building placements before sending an onset photographer to source elements of iconic Parisian streets. The episode featured over 100 VFX shots ranging from fast-action motorcycles, police cars, vans, driving shootouts and crashing cars. All filming took place in the Czech Republic and required substantial enhancements in order to transport the viewer to a visualisation of Paris with Parisian architecture. One of the biggest transformations was a car chase sequence in episode one. Nail-biting collisions between the characters were surrounded by driving shots filmed in-studio, topped with immersive sci-fi and explosions.
