David Anthony Durham (Gabriel's Story; Walk Through Darkness; Pride of Carthage) has a new book, and it's something of a wonder... Durham's use of ancient legends to fill cultural back-story, while simultaneously mirroring and contrasting his world's current events, is just flat brilliant... What we have here is an astonishing "first" novel-fantasy, far more difficult to write than most would think, and Durham has made the leap from contemporary to historical to fantasy/allegorical with formidable ease.
