Synopsis
It's the present day. Toby O'Dare—aka Lucky the Fox—is a contract killer of underground fame on assignment to kill once again. He's a soulless soul, a dead man walking. His nightmarish world of lone and lethal missions is disrupted when a mysterious stranger, a seraph, offers him a chance to save rather than destroy lives. O'Dare, who long ago dreamt of being a priest, seizes his chance. Now he is carried back through the ages to thirteenth-century England, to dark realms where accusations of ritual murder have been made against Jews, where children suddenly die or disappear. In this primitive setting, O'Dare begins his perilous quest for salvation, a journey of danger and flight, loyalty and betrayal, selflessness and love.
Reviews
Anne Rice has been one of my favorite authors since I was a kid. I started reading the witch and vampire books when I was just 12 or something. Now she's starting a new series, and this is book #1. It's about a hit man who is visited by an angel, and recruited by him. There is your typical Anne Rice type stuff - New Orleans, tragedy, descriptions of places, churches, clothes, and the particular way that the people are, are just like the witches and vampires were. We also travel around in time. I read and liked the Jesus book, but this is more like the usual ones. It was really short though. I feel like she could have added on another book, or maybe I'm used to her books being really long or maybe they just seemed really long? but I felt just when I was really getting into it, it ended. I'm excited to see at the end, that the next volume comes out november 2010, which it is now, so yay. I'm hoping the next one will be twice as long as this one.
