A fantasy twist on "The Great Game"
|
|
Duncan portrays two very different worlds convincingly: that of First World War England and Nextdoor. On the eve of the War, Edward Exeter, just out of school, is plunged into murder, conspiracy and a long-running struggle between two opposing forces. Discovering he's the subject of a prophecy, Edward goes on to battle "Gods" and Death himself, torn between his sense of duty and his sense of honour. The fact that the "Gods" are ordinary people gifted with superhuman powers on moving from their native world to another is an interesting twist. This series would appeal to people who like historical or fantasy books, but be sure to read the first two in the series.
