»”Lisa’s Literature Likes” – Lisa Mayer (28), German bronze medalist at the Olympics in Paris 2024 in the 4×100-meter sprint relay, gives literature tips in her new column and recommends the thriller “Storm” by Uwe Laub to kick things off. “A book that stimulates important thought processes.”
— Lisa Mayer, “Lisas Literature Likes“
»The superb combination of fact and fiction is what makes Uwe Laub’s novels so worth reading. In his informative and critical style, Laub puts his finger on the deep wound of an ignorant society that actually knows better but acts too late.«
— Thomas Gisbertz, Krimi-Couch about „DÜRRE“
»In “Dürre”, author Uwe Laub once again combines scientific facts – this time about climate change – with fiction and vision in a nonchalantly written novel. In this manner, he makes it easy for his readers to approach this serious topic in an entertaining way, even as non-experts.«
— Sigismund von Dobschütz, novel review in German newspaper Saale-Zeitung
»Uwe Laub brilliantly manages to unite individual storylines, initially detached and independent, ever more closely into a larger whole. This promises suspense to the very last page.«

Laub repeatedly weaves the themes of climate change and overexploitation of nature into the narrative as problems that underlie everything else.«
