The Way to Babylon
From Shelf: Books
Michael Riven-author and soldier-is broken in both body and mind, racked with guilt and loss by the death of his wife Jenny. He withdraws into himself in hospital where he painfully recovers. His readers are desperate to know what will happen next in the fantasy world of his stories, but neither writing, nor living, are of interest to him anymore.
Michael Riven has fallen off a mountain. The author is broken in both body and mind, as the fall also claimed his wife and climbing partner Jenny. Readers are desperate to know what will happen next in the fantasy world Minginish, but neither writing, nor living, are of interest to the author as he lies in traction. But there are others seeking the scribe out. Men - and someone who is not all human - have begun a quest to rescue their blighted homeland, and their road will take them between worlds. Michael Riven will return to his home in Scotland, and accompany a stranger into a place altogether more familiar and terrifying: Minginish itself, a real place stranger even than the world of his novels. Michael must take up the companions of his stories - Bicker, Ratagan and Murtach - and find a way to mend the sundered world. He may even find that Jenny's existence did not end that day on the mountain.
