Review
'This wonderful trilogy set in London is breathtaking, original and action-packed.'
(South West Mag )'Jarvis is a great writer, in command of his intricate plotting.'
(Scottish Sunday Herald )'Jarvis is a real story teller ...'
(Carousel )PRAISE FOR FLEABEE'S FORTUNE: 'This books begins a new Deptford series for younger children featuring the same brilliantly imagined and realised subterranean world. Scray and exciting, this book will grip readers from the very first page.' (Teaching and Learning )
'Bursting with action, danger, gruesome detail and some very narrow escapes these are real mouse eye views of our world from a prolific storyteller who excels at anthropomorphic tales such as this one.'
(Riveting Reads: Boys into Books 11-14, Department of Education and Skills ) --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.Product Description
Thomas begins four years after the fall of Jupiter, when Thomas Triton, a midshipmouse, is tormented by horrific visions of the past: stormlashed seas, ferocious battles, lost cities and terrifying heathen gods. But now the time has come to confront the most chilling memory of his youth, a dark and dreadful secret.

This book is one of the best I've ever read - it's got a strong, unpredictable plot, real characters, good description, pace - but the thing it does best is the atmosphere. Right from the beginning you can picture everything in your mind, and although I hate to do yet another comparison to JK Rowling, the book captivates you in the same way. You feel a part of their world and it's impossible to put down. This is definitely one of Robin Jarvis' best books and I would recommend it to anyone who likes Gothic-style fantasy. Also, don't be fooled by the fact it's about mice, because there are some very gruesome scenes.

I have read a great deal of Robin Jarivs's books and I think of those I have read this is his best, the only one that came near was The Oaken Throne. His technique of describing the struggle and triumph of good against the overwhelming power of evil always wins me. He makes a point of making the efforts of the good guys seem more and more futile right up until the last point, within both the books themselves and throughout the trilogies. In this book he has never excelled more at doing that.
What is more, he has a gift for using descriptive words that I have not yet seen equalled by any modern author. I find this makes his books an easy but fruitful read that I cannot put down and do not find any less thrilling the second time I read them. I think nowadays I am too old for such literature. But I think Robin Jarvis will be one of my favourite authors for always. This book best states the reason why.

This is such a brilliant book and i would recomend it to anyone! It's so imaginative and it gets you hooked into the storyline straight away. You can imagine everything really clearly in your mind and it's so unpredictable, you won't want to put it down!
