It is the ultimate quest for the ultimate treasure in a race against unknown foes. Pursuing a map tattooed on human skin; to possibly unravel the future of the future.
Lawhead has penned a promising tale
of inter-dimensional adventure, full of rich imagery putting a new spin on an
old legend. Dynamic settings are mixed with unpredictable adventures as we
follow Kit through his new life, which include parallel worlds and time travel.
Most interesting is the lost map many are battling to find. The map is tattooed on
the mapmaker, the skin map. This map is crucial
to traveling the cosmos and, more importantly, getting back to Earth. Soon the reader discovers, as intriguing as
the map is, that's not the real prize, it's only the beginning.
It was suspenseful, engaging, with characters
that are human and easy to relate to. The idea behind this story is
interesting, the descriptions of the various ages/places visited done well. The story itself is
captivating, and draws the reader in very quickly. I did find the main
character not as interesting as the others. I supposed he will redeem himself
in the following stories in the series.
This is the first audio book I have listened to and found it hard to do
anything but sit and listen. Although would be very good on a road trip, I
prefer the actual book. If you like a good story to escape with I recommend
this book, in whatever format you prefer.
I received an audio copy of the book from Thomas Nelson as part of their
Booksneeze Blogger program.
