Cromm [Mass Market Paperback]

Kenneth Flint (Author)

Editorial Reviews

From Publishers Weekly

Troubled by visions of fourth-century Ireland and a bloodthirsty Irish god, Colin McMahon, an American of Irish descent, soon finds the dream erupting into his waking life. At the urging of a mysterious stranger, he visits Ireland, where the past and the present merge and force him to finish a fight begun many generations ago. Flint's ( The Isle of Destiny ) always impressive command of Irish folklore and religious traditions is here aided by keen storytelling and characterization. His adventure is relayed with good humor, and his reluctant, aw-shucks hero is perfectly matched with a gorgeous virago, Megan, who understands everything, from the right way to pack a picnic hamper to the subtleties of hand-to-hand combat with a mythical being.

From Library Journal

Recurring nightmares force artist Colin McMahon to travel to Ireland in search of an ancient, bloody god who has returned to the world. Flint's mastery of Celtic folklore comes to the fore in this dark fantasy of a magical war that crosses the borders of time. For large fantasy collections.

This review is from: Cromm (Hardcover)

Kenneth C. Flint shows in this book that he has a way whith using Irish mythology to produce a stunning story that thrills you from start to finish. In Cromm the main character has to solve a mystery about an ancient religion. The action takes place both in the modern age as in ancient Ireland. The main character has memories from the ancient days and slowly starts remembering what happened before, but will he remember in time? You will have to read for yourselves, but be prepared for some strange events.

I truly enjoined reading this book.
