El Laberinto de la Rosa: Un Enigma Por Descifrar, un Legado Por Desenterrar, un Corazon Por Curar [With Paperback Book] = The Rose Labyrinth
Titania Hardie. Suma, $19.99 (429pp) ISBN 978-84-8365-046-2
This fitting first novel uses as a primary plot device John Dee, the astrologer for Queen Elizabeth I-a historical figure who has inspired a variety of characters [e.g., Shakespeare's Prospero]. Hardie uses the ubiquitous time-shifting narrative style to tell the story of Will; his brother, a heart-transplant recipient; and a cadre of supporting players who become involved in a race to uncover John Dee's cryptic prophetic documents. Pro-Armageddon extremists are also pursuing the Dee secrets, preserved for centuries by Will's family and now seemingly being pieced together in a way that threatens all humankind. [A] provocative plot and a happy though predictable ending. [LJ 10/1/08]
