Title: "The Hawk Queen arrives in a parallel version of her own universe..."
Product review: That's the jacket introduction - and this is the set tone for much of the book - the current enemy is really from out of the past - but from somewhere in the future there is a chance to save the present. And so, what starts as a very easy read - ye olde speak, a battle, an orphan, a man who is a leader in the eyes of his people but is at odds with the leader of his people, some magic and a prophecy... slides into a game of Chutes & Ladders as the wires get crossed - gates are opened and closed - characters arrive early as old and dying and then return later from earlier times young and ready for battle - la la la.I stuck with it - unknotting the story more times than I care to count. Not a bad read [it was a vacation airport purchase], but it's not likely I'll pursue others by Gemmell.
