Review
'Completely fantastical yet totally relevant' -- Eoin Colfer 'A pacy, action-filled plot with very real characters facing gripping dilemmas' -- Mark O'Sullivan 'Original, intelligent fantasy with plenty of contemporary relevance.' -- Celia Rees, author of Pirates! 'McGann has created a clever, sharply constructed novel with credible characters and dialogue and tension-filled action. An excellent read.' -- The Sunday Tribune The Sunday Tribune '... Literary excellence' -- Inis Magazine Inis Magazine 'This excellent novel is a fantasy, yet every word of it has direct and understated relevance for our own political world ... The novel is chiefly a fast-paced, tense and highly convincing thriller. But McGann's impeccably fair-minded and intelligent hints at parallels with Israel and Palestine, or America and the Middle East, or the secular west and Islam, are impossible to miss, and his even-handed narrative is all the more effective in consequence. Exciting as fantasy adventure, thoughtful in present-day relevance, the book is a fine achievement and is strongly recommended.' -- Peter Hollindale - The School Librarian The School Librarian 'An exciting and well plotted debut novel' -- Evening Herald Evening Herald
