The Eight Reindeer of the Apocalypse

ebook
1 of 1 copy available
1 of 1 copy available

Tom Holt’s brilliantly funny new novel set in the world of The Portable Door (now a delightful movie starring Patrick Gibson, Sophie Wilde, and Christoph Waltz).
The team of commercial sorcerers at Dawson, Ahriman & Dawson can help with any metaphysical engineering project, large or small (though by definition they all tend to be pretty large).
 
They can also create massive great puddles of chaos that might one day swallow up the entire universe.
 
Take, for example, the decision to recruit a certain bearded fellow whose previous work experience mainly involves reindeer and jingle bells. It might have seemed like a good idea at the time, but is he really the best person to save the world from Tiamat the Destroyer, who has literally gone ballistic?

      "A dark and stormy night" is a clich�d way to start a novel. But, in this case, it is wielded with deft hands by the prolific Holt and Parker. When Alice's car loses all power on just such a night, she is abducted in a jarring and surprising way and takes delivery of a strange package that is not even addressed to her. She passes the package on to Mr. Sunshine to help her with the mystery, which leads to his reaching out to former colleagues. Mr. Dawson, the new occupant of Mr. Sunshine's former office, is filling a job opening for a planetary deity, becoming just one front in an ongoing conflict between Dawson, Sunshine, and Mr. Teasdale who is helping a photographer who has a mysterious woman showing up in her photos, despite not being there. All three reach out to colleagues and competitors to solve the mystery of their client all while maximizing the profits for the firm. Holt and Parker's many fans will enjoy this absurd tale that will also appeal to fans of Terry Pratchett.
