Release Date: 08/07/10BOOK BLURB:
Johannes Cabal is back -- a little older, a little wiser, but just as sharply funny, cuttingly sarcastic, and unexpectedly violent as ever. For necromancer Johannes Cabal, dealing with devils, demons and raising the dead is pretty much par for the course. But when his attempt to steal a rare book turns sour, he is faced by a far more terrifying entity -- politics. While awaiting execution for his crime, Cabal is forced to resurrect an inconveniently deceased emperor. Seizing his chance, the cunning Cabal engineers his escape, fleeing the country on a state-of-the-art flying ship. But the ship has more than a few unpleasant surprises, including an unwelcome face from the past and the small matter of some mysterious murders. Cabal may work with corpses but he has absolutely no intention of becoming one. Drawn into a deadly conspiracy, is he shuffling dangerously close to the end of his mortal coil?
REVIEW:
I loved the original offering from this author and with its wit, cracking pace and above all else, its larger than life principle protagonist it’s a tale that is literally a huge chunk of fun. In this second offering, it continues the tale of this extraordinary individual and generates a tale that this time takes the mick out of the crime genre. A real treat for fans of something different and a title that I’m recommending to perhaps use as a bridging novel between the young adult and adult literary world. Great fun and a book that I’ll remember for a while due to the pleasure I gained.
