Sam Bourne: The Righteous men

Smart, intelligent, creative, deep, fascinating. An adventure the reader enjoys every step of the way. Very well thought through. Each sentence makes the story alive. The mastery of words is fascinating. A comparison or half sentence burst the images into the mind that are very clear and work on senses and imagination intensely. For me it is a masterpiece.

Will's instinct was to deflate moments like this. He was too English for such overt statements of feelings.

He jumped up to meet her, instantly taking in her scent. It began in her hair, with an aroma of sunshine and dewberries that might once have come from a hampoo, but combined with her skin to produce a new perfume, one that was entirely her own. Its epicenter was the inch or two of the skin just below her ear. He only had to nuzzle into that nook to be filled with her.

A shiver had run down his spine as TC had spoken. Maybe it was all just crankish hokum, but this series of lines and circles, drawn so many hundreds of years ago and taught down the generations only to those deemed able to cope with its secrets, seemed to radiate a kind of power.
