The slow turning world may be far from planet Earth but its population is human in the extreme. The author holds a dark mirror to our own history as he delves into religious extremism, ethnic cleansing and colonialism. Torrin, a reluctant and unlikely hero, finds himself bereaved by an atrocity of war. An ill-judged quest for vengeance precipitates perilous episodes and unites him with an unlikely companion. The sanctuary that Torrin craves must, it seems, come at a price demanded from him by powerful men. Manipulated, deceived and bereft, with all hope gone, time is running out... There is optimism here too, that the better nature of humanity can prevail. Torrin's relationships with his sons, his estranged wife and his travelling companion are never easy, but, tested to the extreme, they endure. The book might be classed as fantasy, but there is no magic to resolve the issues. It could be described as science fiction but there is no technology here beyond the printing press and the cannon ball.
