Åbningen: Slaget i Caïssa 1

Slaget i Caïssa #1

by Kenneth Bøgh Andersen

Slaget i Caïssa har skakken som et fundament i handlingen. 13-årige Frode bliver pludselig deltager i et dødeligt slag mellem onde og gode kræfter. Han ligger svag og dødssyg i sin seng, da en mystisk dragende tåge flyder hans værelse. Med ét befinder han sig i et mærkeligt land og sammen med en broget flok af talende dyr og sære væsener. De er alle forskellige af krop og sind, men alligevel ens, knyttet sammen af en skæbne, som Frode ikke forstår. Men senere får han en fornemmelse af, at de alle sammen er brikker i et spil, og de vælger ikke selv, hvornår spillet er slut.

About the author

I was born in Denmark on a dark and stormy night in November 1976. I began writing when I was a teenager. My first book was a really awful horror novel titled Nidhug's Slaves. It didn't get published. Luckily.

During the next 7 years, I wrote nearly 20 novels-all of which were rejected-while working as a school teacher. The rest of the time I spent writing.

In 2000 I published my debut fantasy book, The Battle of Caïssa, and that's when things really took off. Since then I've published more than thirty-five books for children and young adults in genres ranging from fantasy to horror and science fiction.

My books have been translated into more than 15 languages and my series about the superhero Antboy has been adapted for film, which is available on Netflix. An animated tv series is currently in development.

A musical of The Devil's Apprentice opens in the fall 2018 and the movie rights for the series have also been optioned.

I live in Copenhagen with my wife, two boys, a dog named Milo and spiders in the basement.

En spændende fortælling som skiller sig ud. God fantasy og når jeg nu har læst Antboy og Djævelens lærling, er det interessant at se hvordan forfatterskabet startede.

En god start på hvad der lader til at være en spændende trilogi, som jeg kun nan være ked af ikke at have opdaget tidligere. Jeg ser frem til at lære Frode og de andre bedre at kende.

Det var klart at jeg var ikke målgruppen for denne bog (for gammel), men det var sjovt alligvel at læse noget på dansk. Dette var kun mit andet bind jeg har læst i dette sprog.

I love this series and some other works written by Kenneth Bøgh Andersen.
In this book, (and the other two for that matter)is it af if you were a part of the story youself and I think that is an importan thing to feel when reading.
