Dark Covenant (February 2007)
For those who read: Dark Covenant
Just finished reading the brand new book ‘Dark Covenant’ by
Peter Luther.
Peter is a Bowie fan from Wales and this is his first
ever published tome. That’s obviously how I came
to know about it. He kindly sent me a copy the other week.
It’s an absolutely fascinating read … tells
the story of Lewis Coin who is next in line for receiving
a magazine called The Shilling (which I believe should
have been the title of the book but that’s by the
by).
Weird and strange things start to happen – there’s
a crossword that links each of the chapters – it’s
really difficult to explain the concept – it kind
of makes sense once you’re reading it.
I couldn’t put it down. The pages turn over by themselves!
The concept is quite unique and original. I guarantee
you won’t have come across anything like this before.
It made me laugh, gasp, cry, daydream, ponder … and
made my imagination go to places I didn’t think existed – what
more could you ask for in a book?
Gripping from page 1.
