Wolves prowling the streets of Oxford. A Green Man haunting the Highlands ...Drawn from the dreaming spires of Oxford to the misty moors and glens of Scotland, Lewis expects little more than a pleasant weekend away. But the road north leads to a mystical crossroads, and he finds himself in a place where two worlds meet, in the time-between-times. The ancient Celts admitted no separation between this world and the Otherworld: the two were delicately interwoven, each dependent on the other. In The Paradise War this balance is disturbed - a breach has opened between the worlds and cosmic catastrophe threatens.

I like Stephen Lawhead's writing, and The Paradise War is a good example. It seems to me that he is fond of J.R.R. Tolkien; the battle for the world of Albion against the demon hordes is reminiscent of similar battles in "The Lord of the Rings". I know very little about Irish symbolism and history, but it looks as if Lawhead has done a bit of research on these subjects. I already have a copy of book 2 of the trilogy, 'The Silver Hand', to read next.

A Magnificent, Well-Written Tale.
The Paradise War commences with the simple phrase, "It all started with the aurochs," and from there launches into a fantasy series that easily ranks as one of the best of all time. Lawhead paints a background for all his characters, especially main character Lewis Gillies, that brings them alive to the reader, while the plot is not the often-overused "epic journey" of so many fantasy sagas. This will be a pleasing read to all lovers of fantasy and anyone who enjoys the ancient history of Britain.
