Make sure you give The Black Conspiracy its own thread and add the cover to your signature! Thanks again, David. I've just created The Black Conspiracy thread. Now I need to work out how to get appropriately sized images on my signature. Ancient magic meets the Internet - life will never be the same again.

RE: Dark Tidings - ancient magic meets the internetQuote: If you like Terry Pratchett, you'll enjoy this new author and the first book in what is sure to shape up as a delightful series. Dark Tidings weaves a complicated plot entangling heroes from the far past with a hero from the present who all share a common and formidable enemy. Ancient magic meets the Internet - life will never be the same again.

RE: Dark Tidings - ancient magic meets the internet4.0 out of 5 stars Internet, incantations and insanity!, 3 Nov 2012 By David Wailing (London, UK) Dark Tidings is an entertaining blend of genres, guaranteed to appeal to readers who enjoy 'mash-up' fiction. For the first half, it flips between what almost feel like two different books: the sword-and-sorcery medieval fantasy that wizard Madrick and thief Tung are having misadventures in, and the modern cyber-thriller where super-hacker Michael plans to bring down the most powerful secret organisation in history. It's when the two worlds combine that the story really kicks off. There's plenty of humour in the surreal scenes of spell-casting in the 21st Century, and also some chillingly believable observations on just how the rich and powerful manipulate everything from behind the scenes. The book covers a lot of ground, but concludes with more than one 'open door' through which events could continue. Ken Magee has created a warm, amusing but also unsettling world, and I'm keen to find out what happens next in The Black Conspiracy. |
