God was particularly fond of this strip of hell, this bit of golden grit he had spent three years of his life quarreling over. Yet, ‘twas the Holy Land he was thinking such vile thoughts of. So much death, destruction, misery, all for a bloody bit of sand in the middle of hell. With all of that said, settle in for a good, long read (three times the size of a normal four hundred page novel), brought to you in three parts.
However, he is not the ‘hero’ of the novel but the author liked him so much that she brought him into modern times and made him the hero of the Kathlyn Trent/Marcus Burton action-adventure series.
Marcus alternates between good and evil in this novel and is an extremely strong presence. More to note – you will see several characters you already recognize from other Le Veque novels, most notably, the character of Marcus Burton. You are going to yell at it, laugh, cheer, cry and applaud. It is a truly emotional story, the good and the bad of it, that is different from anything you have ever read. Although edited for some content and grammar, the author refrained from any serious re-writing, instead choosing to present it as it was originally written. This is ‘Game of Thrones’ drama before there ever was such a thing. It’s not only an adventure, it’s a bloody soap opera of love, loss, deceit, betrayal, infidelity, politics, passion, and crime. Now, it is presented to you in its full glory. The same agent who told her to cut down The Dark One: Dark Knight told her to cut this one down as well, but she refused. It was written a very long time ago when the author believed that bigger – and longer - was better. Along the lines of The Dark One: Dark Knight, Rise of the Defender is another million-page epic that narrates the adventures and trials of Christopher de Lohr and his wife, the Lady Dustin. That’s what the author thought after she read this novel recently after having not read it in many years.
