Summary: bravo!
Review: this book along with the second in the series, was sitting on my shelf for nearly a year when i took it with me on a recent trip out of the country. i finished both in record time and was unavailable for two of my seven days on my vacation (to my wife's chagrin).i found it a wonderfully easy read spurred on by interesting,complex characters. in a crowded fantasy genre, i believe a refreshing new voice has arrived with mr. stone's first book and i look forward to a long career with more of the same. when is the third book coming?

Summary: Fantastic Debut!
Review: This great debut by Mr. Stone is a stunningly mature and exciting read. It keeps you guessing with unexpected twists and has a writing style that is at once both literate and energetic. I started this book in the hope that I would have a chance to finish it on vacation. Instead, I finished it before my vacation even started! I could not put this book down. As an avid reader of science fiction/fantasy I have read my share of mindless novels. This book is anything but mindless. It recalls to my mind the fantastic Roger Zelazny series that was awarded both the prestiguous Hugo (mystery) and Nebula (science fiction) awards. You will be quickly caught up in the mystery that Mr. Stone carefull unfolds in this first of a series. My only complaint: when does the second one come out!
