5.0 out of 5 stars fantasic..........loved it......sad though!, July 12, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Tomorrow's Ghost (Paperback)

Tomorrow's ghost is one of the finest fantasy books I have read in a long time.

The complicated plot is ingenious right to the very end, in which he keeps you guessing even after you have finished with the book.

I would recommend this book to all.

This review is from: Tomorrow's Ghost (Paperback)

Anthony Price wrote a long series of books in the seventies and eighties that are an extended meditation on the entanglment of past, present, and future and on loyalty in the face of ambiguity. A notional British security service is populated with a large extended cast of characters surrounding one overall protagonist, David Audley, a brilliant ex rugger player and scholar who specializes in untangling elaborate Soviet (and other) espionage schemes. Yet each book is told from the point of view of a different character.

This one, in the middle of the series, is told from the point of view of a field researcher (operative - the notional department is call R and D) named Frances Fitzgibbon, widow of a British soldier killed in Ireland. It is a tense time for R and D as the old chief, Clinton, is being replaced but the replacement has not been decided and one of the candidates, tasked with uncovering an Irish terror plot, has unsettling questions raised about his past. In this plot and characterization, Price hits the high point of his series. If you are to read just one of these fine books, read this one. I found myself to be emotionally moved and reflective at the end which ends up not a suprise at all.

5.0 out of 5 stars Tomorrow's Ghost, June 20, 2006

This review is from: Tomorrow's Ghost (Paperback)

Not a fantasy, but part of the Dr. David Audley spy thriller series - this answers questions asked in the much earlier in the series volume "Colonel Butler's Wolf", and is followed by "A Prospect of Vengence". This is one of the best in the series, but not the best starting place - the WWII books "Hour of the Donkey" about the Dunkirk evacuation or "The '44 Vintage" about the invasion of France are both better first reads.

Price mixes military history - Audley's cover is as a military historian - with cold war spy action, murder mystery with thriller, and straight out war stories through the series. In most books in the series there are both historical and modern mysteries that must be solved. Hadrian's Wall figures prominently in this one.
