THE PARADISE WAR

Two very different graduate students at Oxford become embroiled in events they never could have predicted when, first, one disappears and then the other seeks to find him, entering a doorway between worlds. Through that door, they enter a long-ago time of the Celts and their warriors. Their reunion isn't as cordial as they would expect, but it sets the stage for intrigue and treachery. Stuart Langton maintains a steady pace throughout. He is particularly adept at handling dialogue, skillfully moving between characters at a lively pace.
