The promise of this fantasy series is something different, not your standard broth of factory-assembled elves, dragons, sorcerers, necromancers, orcs and dwarves. A vision of a truly different world. Hugh Cook, author of the ten-volume Chronicles of an Age of Darkness series, tries his hand at developing something new in a world which has, in large measure, outworn many of the materials with which it has long amused itself. |

First, this boy. Is she going to marry him? Second, her grandfather, in danger of being exposed as a pedophile. True, he was a pedophile. But he was caught, put on trial and punished. Should Atlanta seek to defend him now that the years-old sealed court records are in danger of being exposed to public view? She is disgusted by his crimes, but he is her grandfather. And she is a lawyer, and believe in the rule of law. Third, the rumors about her family's adaptive skins, organisms which can meld themselves with human flesh to enable normative humans to breathe underwater. Is it true that some of the skins have gone rogue and have started killing people? Atlanta's first and foremost loyalty is to her family. But she cannot conceal the truth, if the skins have become dangerous. Finally, she has no option but to put her life on the line and try one of the skins for herself, something she would never normally do because she, with her water lung, is perfectly capable of breathing underwater without any such assistance. This book is part of a trilogy but is a self-contained novel in its own right, complete with a beginning, a middle and an end. |
