The promise of this fantasy series is something different, not your standard broth of factory-assembled elves, dragons, sorcerers, necromancers, orcs and dwarves. A vision of a truly different world. Hugh Cook, author of the ten-volume Chronicles of an Age of Darkness series, tries his hand at developing something new in a world which has, in large measure, outworn many of the materials with which it has long amused itself. |

One danger is the assassins who, early in the book, take a shot at kiling Heineman, and almost succeed. A second danger is the possible return of his political rival, Vignis Vo Gorkindachina, who has officially been declared dead, but who, increasingly, seems to be alive and kicking. The third danger is Heineman's own limitations. Placed under pressure, he catastrophically miscalculates, going into dictator mode. By the time he's done, a bunch of dead journalists illegally imprisoned and now dead is only a part of his problem. As Heineman works out his destiny we see part of the Gorkindachina story. Having been shunted through time and space, Gorkindachina has to grapple with two problems. First, how is he going to deal with the fact that he is legally dead? Second, how is he going to displace Heineman Jubiladilia from the presidential palace? By rights he should do that because he, Gorkindachina, is the candidate who won the popular vote in the presidential elections. This book is part of a trilogy but is a self-contained novel in its own right, complete with a beginning, a middle and an end. |
