'Gareth Jones has given us a superb historical novel... Literary merit here goes hand in hand with first class storytelling..this is a vivid story, full of drama, bawdy humour, adventure, even romance.  And magic.'  Washington Post Book World

'Jones tosses the two-sided coin of free will/fate with flips as dazzling as in Aeschylus.  He offers us a hero who is truly heroic in the classical sense...
