Ken Kiser has created a Russian Doll of a story—worlds upon worlds nestled within each other and separated by the thinnest of veils, and of people uncovering their destinies through shadows, truths and lies. It’s a dark tale (hence the “Dark Thriller” subtitle) of worlds in jeopardy, of souls in need of redemption, of a son in search of his past, of old friends and new loves, and of mysteries perhaps best left buried. Ken’s novel is an adventure full of action and occult horror (in the tradition of Dennis Wheatley), but it’s also filled with deep insights about love, loyalty, friendship, and honor. Most of all it’s a great story that offers what all great stories offer: time well spent in lands both familiar and unfamiliar, with good traveling companions (even the villains!) and an expert unobtrusive guide. If you enjoy Dean Koontz, this will be right up your alley. If you’re a Zelazny fan, you’ll feel right at home. It’s Ken’s best novel to date, and a brilliant start to what could be a classic series. You will want more. Highly recommended!
