From the moment I saw the cover of this book and the title I was enticed to pick it up.  I had to read it.  This book has a little of everything - intrigue, suspense, adventure, fantasy, science fiction and romance.  Don’t forget to add murder to the list.  This book is well written.  The subject matter is interesting and intriguing.  It will appeal to readers of many genre especially science fiction and fantasy.  The characters are interesting and come alive on paper.
