Title: Too similar to others
Review: This is the start of a series but only 1 other has appeared (plus a novella) so I guess it didn't sell well.There's a lot of talking - hero and friend, heroine and professor, hero and heroine. Also a bit of psychology.An OK book but there were too many questions unanswered - who was Terocus? Why did he collect occult material? What do the adepts actually want? Who was the villain and what was his agenda? (We only know his name and that he needs to "renew" his immortality). How are MI5 involved? Maybe later books would have answered them.The finale makes use of a "deus ex machina" where another adept turns up out of the blue and kills the villain. It's not explained how she was drawn into the affair.I actually finished the book so it's not all bad.
Is the review positive or negative?
