After a long journey across the ages, Jack Churchill has returned to the modern world, only to find it in the grip of a terrible, dark force. The population is unaware, mesmerized by the Mundane Spell that keeps them in thrall. With a small group of trusted allies, Jack sets out to find the two "keys" that can shatter the spell. But the keys are people—one with the power of creation, one the power of destruction—and they are hidden somewhere among the world’s billions. As the search fans out across the globe, ancient powers begin to stir. In the bleak north, in Egypt, in Greece, in all the Great Dominions, the old gods are returning to stake their claim. The odds appear insurmountable, the need desperate. . . . This is a time for heroes.

Part 2 of an epic in the making
18 Mar 2012
By A.M Donovan
- Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback
Book 2 picks up where book 1 ends. Luckily for those that haven't read the first book (or have a short attention span) if you read the first part "The Final Age" you will be caught up on what came before and the entire necessary back story. Doesn't take long and is very compact, so don't let the idea of needing to read this part first scare you. Then you get into the meat of the tale. You get to visit different cultures (and there gods - no minor thing there!) and find out what happens if the old gods wake up. I don't know about you, but some of the things those old gods were supposed to have done would scare me silly. As the title suggests, there are correlations found in the Burning Man arts festival and the old Celtic burning man. You meet Coyote, Raven, get judged by the Egyptian gods, trapped by the Norse gods, meet Sky father and of course Puck, the Libertarian , Lugh and Rhiannon make return appearances. Let's not forget the Final Train, or what spurned or betrayed love will drive people to do.

By Teresa Pietersen
- Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
Having travelled through time in the previous book of this series, Jack Churchill and his cohorts now travel the world meeting the Old Gods, while also searching for two keys (people) who will destroy the Mundane Spell that is keeping humanity mesmerized and unaware of the approach of the end of life.
Across the continents meeting, battling and sometimes being aided by the Old Gods: the Norse, Egyptian, Greek and Chinese pantheons who are not always sympathetic to humanity's suffering.
In the Tuatha De Danann otherworld there is treachery and conflict between the different courts of the golden ones, as the Void slowly gathers it's black army. All of your favourite characters, both heros and villains play their part, with a few surprises along the way.
It's full of small triumphs, strange characters, surprising betrayals, some dry humour and fast paced action.
Chadbourn manages to keep the feeling of menace as a constant driving force, it'll keep you reading and wanting more.
Excellent fantasy writing and will make you eager for the final book "Destroyer of Worlds".

Chadbourn is the new master of dark fantasy. Very imaginative with characters one can relate to. A highly recommended read!
