Über diesen Titel

Apocalypse now?

Geryon Wynter, the brilliant Elizabethan mystic, has achieved resurrection and returned to present-day Rotherweird. But after the chaos of Election Day, how can a stranger from another time wrest control? And for what fell purpose is Wynter back?

His dark conspiracy reaches its climax in this unique corner of England, where the study of history is forbidden and neither friend nor foe are quite what they seem.

The stakes could not be higher, for at the endgame, not only Rotherweird is under threat. The future of mankind itself hangs in the balance.

While the magic and originality of the "Rotherweird" world and backstory somehow held together the narrative in the previous books, this one quite literally lost the plot: the umpteen side characters of whom the reader/ listener is expected to keep track despite POV jumps every other minute, the insistence on long-winded descriptions and frequent use of exceedingly highbrow terminology, as well as several story threads being left in limbo killed this series for me. I wanted to switch off after the first hour or so already, but stuck with it out of stubbornness and hope for improvement. After the 15 1/2 hours I couldn't have cared less about how the journey ended for the protagonist and was simply glad it was over. Such a disappointing end to what could have been a great trip - perhaps an early and decisive intervention by the literary agent could have saved the author from this nosedive?

Arduously detailed an all over the place
