More About the Author
Product Description
Book Description
The electric new thriller from the bestselling author of The Traveller.
Product Description
Fear stalks our lives. In the press. On the television. Over the airwaves. Across the internet. Everywhere we go, someone somewhere is always watching. Waiting for the mistake that will reveal secrets, truths, lies, the real story or what they want to believe.No longer is anonymity a given right.
We are being controlled without our knowledge and we don't appear to care. Daily we sacrifice little freedoms that will never be returned. We are all victims.
They are some who will fight to the death to protect those freedoms. They will not allow the forces of commerce and ideology to dictate their lives. They are off the grid. Gabriel Corrigan is one such man. The system doesn't like it. It says that you cannot opt out, that you have to participate. And it will do whatever it takes to return Gabriel to the fold - alive or dead. He can run but he can't hide - forever...

3.0 out of 5 stars
Good but flawed,

This review is from: The Dark River: Fourth Realm Trilogy (The Fourth Realm Trilogy) (Paperback)
I really enjoyed the first one - The Traveller - and even pressed it onto family and friends and they all loved it too....the ideas ( the off the grid-ness!) was refreshing and unique and also quite believeable too! I think, therefore, that the story should have concluded with the first book and leave it as a stand-alone piece which would have had much more impact. When you start to write sequels the first will always come out on top because it's got the impact and WOW factor that a sequel will ineviatably lack. Also the second one irritated me for some really silly reasons - the first was when Michael was talking to the 'typically English' woman at the meeting and she put cream in her tea! No self-respecting upright English woman would put cream in tea! It's little details like that remind me it's only fiction and I really want to believe!! Silly i know but I really think authors should get these little details right just as much as other aspects of the story. Still a good story though!

This is a trilogy,

This review is from: The Dark River: Fourth Realm Trilogy (The Fourth Realm Trilogy) (Paperback)
Excellent read, and throughly recommended. Its a mix of fantasy and sci-fi with interesting view on the way we are controlled by governments and society, almost 1984 style.Dark River is not as good as The Traveller, but only because it doesn't really stand on its own. In fact, I would only recommend this book to people who have read the first book. I think the previous reviewer found this out and preceived there was no story as such, however the Dark River is very much the middle book in the series.

Great fun and great imagination.,
By
This review is from: The Dark River: Fourth Realm Trilogy (The Fourth Realm Trilogy) (Paperback)
If you liked 'Labyrinth' or 'The Da Vinci Code' you'll love this. Its better written than either of those and more imaginative. If you read either book without being able to put them down but ended up full of guilty, grubby self loathing as a result, the readers equivalent of eating MCDonalds just because its there- then you'll find this far more palatable fast food. It's the Pizza Express of fantasy thrillers. It's not weighty literature, but it's an intelligent page turner and that's a wonderful thing. This is the second part of a trilogy, something that can be very irritating for the loyal, but not obsessive reader, you want to read the next installment but you'd prefer not to have to re read part one first to remind yourself of every detail. This skillfully reminded you of everything crucial without cluttering the story with endless re hashes of the first book. You could probably read it on its own but you'll enjoy it more if you do read 'The Traveller' first. It would have got five stars from me as a superior page turner with a satisfyingly believable fantasy element except that I was curious enough to check out the author's website....and lo some marketing whizz kids have seen the opportunity to try and push this into cult status in the most pretentious and irritating way. News items are quoted as evidence of the 'truth' of the book. The author's identity is a closely guarded secret! Chat rooms are full of speculation as to his identity! Who is this mystery man/woman/cyborg? Who knows? Who cares? Its just a nice wee novel guys, get over yourselves! I tell you one thing, he's not British or Irish, the one jarring note in the book is the incredible clumsiness of the author's attempts at contemporary London, English and Irish speech....and he/she/it thinks pelicans are native to Ireland.But ignore my petty quibbles, this is great fun.
