Mythology, mystery, and a monster. It’s October 1920. On Floodwood Pond, deep in the heart of the Adirondacks, two scientist argue as they paddle in search of long-lost Native American artifacts. They are both members of the prestigious Strabo society, but that’s where their similarity ends. Anthony Cardonas is a rigidly self-righteous old-school explorer with political ambitions who becomes increasingly frustrated with the starry-eyed mysticism of his younger companion, Alistair Wulver.

Lots of layers to this adventure
Revisado: 07-06-22
Pete Kennedy gives us a modern good vs bad adventure full of literary allusions, cultural references, and spiritual grounding. Ancient artifacts, the Dalai Lama, the Kumari Devi of Kathmandu, geographers, geishas, transcendent beings, crossbows, upstate New York, Kyoto, and the Witches' cat from Macbeth are all in here. Kennedy wraps everything in a nonstop adventure story that is constantly on the move. There must be eight hours worth of adventure packed into four hours of book.
As a fan of Pete's virtuoso guitar playing and musical knowledge, I was delighted to discover his narrative creativity and see all these other areas of his expertise. He knows a lot about a lot! Fun, fast-paced, but also with some things to think about.
