Product Description

Review

"Lots of dark horror, exotic settings, derring- do, and just plain excellent storytelling." SF Chronicle"

Product Description

From humble origins as tribal nomads in an area to the east of the Black Sea, the Mosul Empire has ascended to power through bloody hunger for conquest. Spurred on by the brutal theocracy of the Zhaithan, they worship, with fundamental cruelty, the ancient and baleful twin deities Ignir and Aksura. Forming an unholy alliance with the Teutons in the North and the Mameluke warlords in North Africa, the empire subjugated the Land of the Franks, and all of the Hispanic Peninsula, and have now set their sights on the New World. They have already brought down the Republic, of Greater Carolina and the Virginia Freestate. Only the Kingdom of Albany, controlling what would be New York, Pennsylvania, and Connecticut, still stands, aided by the Norse Alliance. Argo Weaver, Huck Finn in a ruthlessly vicious world, comes from the back hills of East Virginia. Cordelia Bakeney, Scarlet O'Hara in a trench coat, is a Lady at the Court of Albany. Raphael Vega, part Goya, part Zorro, conscripted as grunt cannon-fodder, is a native of decimated Hispania. Jessamine, a Destiny's Child gone to hell, is the concubine of a Teuton colonel. Together, they will form the Four and battle the Mosul's ultimate creation, the Dark Things, battlefield horrors with hideous and paranormal powers. The Four are aided by Yancey Slide, a strange man with many of the characteristics of Coyote, the Trickster.

5.0 out of 5 stars Set In A Parallel World Which Could Easily Have Been Us, 18 Aug 2008
By Alan Burridge (Poole,, Dorset. United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
(TOP 500 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Kindling (Hardcover)
This is an incredible parallel world novel which, perhaps, only the radically unique brain of Mick Farren could conjure. The synopsis above tells all you need to know, just buy it, read it, and marvel at Farren's thought process, you have to admire the man's ability in even imagining such a world as he has created here - top notch!!!

1.0 out of 5 stars impossible to enjoy, 18 Oct 2005
By Tom (London) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Kindling (Hardcover)
This is an alternative reality novel with a rather simplistic and unpleasant view of the world, as well as lacking much in the way of strong and sympathetic characterisation, or anything remarkable in the plot. One to avoid.
