Product Description
Book Description
This gripping thriller/mystery from the master of suspense GP Taylor is rich in fear, tension, plot-twists and adventure.
Product Description
Fresh out of school, young Mariah faces a new chapter of his life living in the Prince Regent hotel built into the rockface of a cliffside. His job to to assist the magician in the stage shows held for the guests. Above ground, the guests are offered every form of luxury. Below ground, in the slimy, green-dripping walls of the basements, is where the magic show equipment is kept - and lurking in an Egyptian sarcophagus amongst scuttling sea-creatures is a secret that draws Mariah into the path of villainy, plots, and possible death.

Format:Hardcover
A terrific read, fast paced and gripping. Much easier on the eye than some or GPs earlier work, but still retaining the ability to magicaly transport the reader through the eyes of Mariah from dim and smoky railway carriages to the grand and spooky goings on at the Steam Powered Prince Regent Hotel. Fearsome Monsters and Heros a plenty and all thoroughly believable. This is a grand romp of a book, worth reading twice and at the very least you might find out where to be served plates of deliciuos golden fish & chips served with steaming pots of Yorkshire tea.

While compared with Harry Potter (which I suspect is more a coincidence of when it was first published rather than a serious comparison) this book owes more to Bram Stoke, Robert Lewis Stevenson and Jules Verne (with more than a dash of Dahl). Mariah finds himself leaving the only home he has known and shipped off to a mysterious hotel by the seaside. Set in a steampunk version of Victorian England Mariah is thrust into danger and adventure before he even gets on the train that will take him there.
Taylor's worlds are always places where you can smell the mud on your shoes and if you look up you might see the contents of a chamber pot coming down on your head. The villains are delightfully villainous and the heroes given to brooding. I loved it.
