A rollicking sea adventure. Strong, delightful characters. A great
story. At the urging of Crimthain the Druid, Maeldun and sixteen
companions embark on a mission of vengeance, a mission in which
they hope to redeem the tarnished honor of Clan Murtagh. But they
soon find themselves caught between their loyalties to the old
pagan gods and their fear of the new God now worshipped by small
groups of Christians in the west of Ireland. What they'd hoped
would be a straightforward - though highly dangerous - mission of
retribution turns into something else as Maeldun and his fellow
mariners become entangled in a series of mystifying adventures. Set
during the period when Ireland was first being Christianized, THE
VOYAGE OF MAELDUN belongs to the age-old tradition of nautical
adventures such as those experienced by famed voyagers like Homer's
Odysseus, Jason and the Argonauts, Sinbad the Sailor, and Saint
Brendan the Navigator.
Baseball, opera, literary antiquities, and acts of violent
retribution all converge in John Conlee's THE HEATER. Set in the
present, this novel traces events through an entire baseball season
while at the same time re-enacting the ancient Celtic tale of
"Deirdre of the Sorrows." The novel's protagonist is Ty Duffy, the
opera-loving second baseman of the Bay City Grays, whose unswerving
loyalty to his friend and teammate culminates in a violent
denouement on a wind-swept island off the west coast of Ireland.
