Produktbeschreibung
The Angels want to usher in Revelation, and what better way than through the creation of the British Empire? Infamous swordswoman Captain Lament Evyngar awaits execution in the Tower of London, charged with heresy and attempted regicide, but all is not as it seems. Unwittingly entangled in the schemes of the Angels, she recounts her tale to the Queen's sorcerer, Dr Dee, who is more than a little responsible for her predicament. Dr Dee has designs for a British Empire that will dominate the world for ages to come, and with the aegis of the Angels, he has the power to make it a reality. But, two elements are missing, and through blackmail and occult ritual, Lament and her giant Dutch comrade are forced to journey to the war-ravaged Spanish Netherlands on a quest that will reveal the truth about strange entities that use humans to fight out their eternal conflicts and in doing so alter the course of history forever. So, a bargain is made, a child is created, and death is no longer an option for Lament as she is swept back and forth through time and space, her identity suddenly made fluid until she can at last return to the London of Queen Elizabeth I and face the cosmic horror that is unveiled in the royal court.
Autorenporträt
Andy is a lifelong fantasy/sword & sorcery/weird tales fan and also has a bit of an obsession with historical fiction. He started writing around ten years ago as an experiment in having the discipline to write something every day during a period when he was travelling extensively for work. He wrote on a phone and iPad during train journeys, flights, backstage at events, 2 am in hotel rooms, and even during stops at motorway service stations. The result was his first novel, the darkly funny ME AND THE MONKEY: CHRONICLES OF THE MONKEY GOD VOL 1. He has since written VOL 2 and a novella, THE PADDINGTON INCIDENT. He has studied shamanism and the Western occult tradition and trained in and taught martial arts. When he is not pouring thoughts onto paper he creates motion graphics. He lives in Cornwall in the UK.
