The back cover promises a “fantasy thriller” and it delivers. This is Jack Forsithe’s first  novel and the highest tribute one can pay to any such work is that I am looking forward to the sequel even though I am not usually into this genre. If you’re not immersed in science-fiction, you may be put off by the complexity of the other-worlders’ species name (Zighorottiz), but don’t let that scare you off: it’s about the only bit of irregular verbiage in the book.

The best advice I can give when reading this book is to try and get about an hour of unimpeded time at the start in order to work out what the various story-lines are. They do all come together in a clever and not overly contrived way, but at first the human stories are so different that it is hard to latch onto them. Once you do, you’ll find this to be a humorous and innovative romp that may in fact be more of a send-up of thrillers and fantasy writing than a faithful member of the club. Great first start, Jack, and bring on the rest.
