For centuries it has lain dormant, buried in a lead-lined tomb deep

anyone's capacity to control. Even a man as extraordinary as Benzamir...

What the critics say

Another fat book offering plenty of entertainment
- Independent

Morden combines science fiction and fantasy in a novel with a cracking pace that pitches savagery and bigotry against reason
- TES

A big book and a big read . . . Action-packed, the plot is revealed gradually, drawing the reader on, with good descriptions of a colourful world
- The School Librarian

There is no doubt that this novel is compelling. The various mysteries in the story combine to keep the reader turning the page and the world in which it is set is fascinating
