5.0 out of 5 stars gripping dark fantasy, May 16, 2007
In 1752 England Obadiah Demurral continues his quest to conquer heaven in order to rule on earth. Three children (Raphah, Thomas and Kate) with the help of the angel Raphael thwart his last efforts, but he is not finished. The three children travel to London aboard pirate Jacob Crane's ship, who has become a believer. He is taking his previous cargo to Salamander Street, supposedly a place of safety from Demurral.

Raphah gets separated from the others when he falls overboard. When Beadle, Demurral former slave happens upon a beach he sees a whale and out of his mouth comes Raphah. They head to London together. Meanwhile Crane, Kate, and Thomas reach London but officials board the ship and confiscate his cargo and inform him that Demurral sent word ahead that Crane kidnapped the children and stole something precious from him. When they reach the inn on Salamander Street Galphus takes Thomas to his factory and forces him to sign indenture papers. Later Kate is taken to Galphus's factory as a prisoner. Crane eventually is captured as well. They are waiting for Demurral to reach them as Galphus is his minion as good and evil clash for the souls of the children and their allies.

This dark fantasy grips readers with its good vs. evil war on earth in which Demurral seems more powerful than even the angel Raphael. The story line is action-packed never slowing down in its epic battle on the streets of eighteenth century London, yet the key players are fully developed so that the audience understands motives (some altruistic to save the world; others ambitious to rule the world). G.P. Taylor provides a wonderful fantasy with a religious theme that readers of all ages will appreciate.

5.0 out of 5 stars Exactly what was ordered, February 3, 2009
By 
This book was one of the items on my grandson's Christmas list and I simply wanted to find a copy in good condition to give him. Although it wasn't clear in the picture online, the book received was hardback. That was a nice surprise because the book is one in a series that my grandson is collecting and will probably keep into adulthood.

Great Read!! J.P. Taylor has a way of making the reader feel truly involved in the story. A fantastic story.....as usual. I only wish that I had another of his books in the Shadowmancer series to read after I finished my book. Hopefully.........SOON !! C.Pekkala
