Comments & Further Information

First UK edition hardback in very good condition for its age.  Its main fault is heavy age tanning to pages making them very brown but the book remains eminently readable.  Bumped at head of book spine.  The dust jacket is complete, still shows the price but is showing signs of wear along the edges and is somewhat grubby.

The first book of The Watchers.

SYNOPSIS:  “Archon draws on a huge range of myth, legend and philosophy to create a dramatic and colourful story that is both entertaining and thought-provoking. The Joyces seem at first an ordinary enough family. Sam is a moderately unhappy North London social worker, Diane a teacher and their daughter Chrissa a typically moody 13-year-old. But Sam is haunted by strange memories from his past, by a ring given to him by his grandfather, and by the story that went with it… of an island that appeared from nowhere in mid-Atlantic and of the strange woman whose passage on a sailing ship provoked a bizarre sequence of events.”
