Product Description

Book Description

The thrilling conclusion to the bestselling Fourth Realm trilogy, packed with the knife-edge tension and startling plot twists. --This text refers to an alternate Paperback edition.

Product Description

A world that exists in the shadow of our own ...John Twelve Hawks's previous novels about the mystical Travellers and the Brethren, their ruthless enemies, generated an extraordinary following around the world. In The Golden City, Twelve Hawks delivers the climax to his spellbinding epic. Struggling to protect the legacy of his Traveller father, Gabriel faces troubling new questions and relentless threats. His brother Michael, now firmly allied with the enemy, pursues his ambition to wrest power from Nathan Boone, the calculating leader of the Brethren. And Maya, the Harlequin warrior pledged to protect Gabriel at all costs, is forced to make a choice that will change her life forever.

vast machine expandes 14 Oct 2009
Format:Hardcover
John Twelve Hawks concludes his 4th realm trilogy at what I felt was a slighty slower pace, compared to his previous two books. The Traverler got us off to a cracking start and Dark River took us on a mysterious tour of the other realms, but the Golden City perhaps finds our "off grid" writer lacking in enthusiasum or feeling burdened by the shackles of his "Vast machines" book contract. Never the less a very entertaining read that kept those pages turning. A slightly more romantic ending than I had expected which I'm sure will appeal to those Hollywood movie makers. I'm sure it wont be long until we see the Harlequins & Tabula do battle on our silver screens.

Twelve Hawks has assured us that there will be no more from the fourth realm but does intend to carry on his litary career. I for one will be watching out for his next book.

Run out of steam 28 Mar 2010
By Gareth Wilson - Falcata Times Blog TOP 500 REVIEWER VINE™ VOICE
Format:Hardcover
Having followed this series from the first offering (The Traveller) I really had been looking forward to see how John Twelve Hawks would adapt his world and characters to the tales conclusion that would leave the reader either glutted or sadly as dissatisfied as the Hungry Ghosts in the Ghost City. Unfortunately, this felt more like an extension of the previous novel, which with hindsight may have been better to be held back so that they could be released in a smaller timescale, as I had forgotten a lot of what, had come before. It did do what it said it would and whilst the characters are just as engaging as ever I felt that the plot needed more work to keep the reader engaged as well as entertained. A sad ending to an otherwise cracking series.

After the really impressive Traveler and the slightly less impressive Dark River, the final part of J12H's trilogy is a bit of a let down. It lacks the dynamism of the previous books and has the feel of an author who has lost interest in his characters and is going through the motions. The plot is non-existent (just an extension of the Dark River thread) and the conclusion a rather unsatisfying compromise which ties up none of the loose ends. Having said all that, alathough it didn't meet my high expectations, it is still a good read and more imaginative and better written than a lot of other writing today which has achieved more success (step forward Dan Brown).

Fantastic trilogy
Loved this trilogy - really warmed to the characters and plot - and I wouldn't class myself as a Sci-Fi fan. Well worth a read.
