The third in the series that began with The Fire Within (2005)
leads its characters into a world-saving adventure in the Arctic.
College student David and his girlfriend Zanna are ostensibly
researching global warming with their professor, Dr. Bergstrom.
None of the three, however, are really what they seem. David's
writing, inspired by his muse, the dragon Gadzooks, has a
disturbing tendency to come true. Zanna is a sibyl with unexpected
powers, and Bergstrom is trying to prevent an apocalyptic summoning
of dragons. Meanwhile, David's young friend, Lucy, is kidnapped by
her powerful sibyl ancestor and imprisoned in the ice. Side plots
intrigue, though they are marred by flat and stereotyped
characterization: intolerant, superstitious monks; nearly bestial
Inuit gifted with shamanic knowledge and the like. The mixed ages
of the protagonists (college students, young child, adults mourning
lost love) lead to some inconsistency of style, but the originality
of the approach makes up for shortcomings in implementation. An
entertaining adventure. (Fantasy. 9-11) (Kirkus Reviews)
A research trip to the Arctic and a new book - life can't get much
better for David Rain. As soon as David finds himself in the icy
climes, he starts to write his story of bears, dragons and the
mysterious fire star. Soon he realises that his tale is beginning
to mirror real life, and that an old adversary is on her way to
meet him. Can David thwart her terrible master plan? Or will his
world be destroyed for ever?
