An engaging and thrilling start to such a interesting trilogy. I belive that Michael Lawrence's trilogy would form a marvellous film and would inspire many young youths on the 21st century. Full of mystery and disbelief the novel opens gateways for imagination and as the trilogy progresses, so does the unbelivableness of this amazing tale.
