Each looms large in his country's history and, in this book, John Julius Norwich broadens the scope and shows how, against the rich background of the Renaissance and destruction of the Reformation, their wary obsession with one another laid the foundations for modern Europe. ![]() Sometimes friends, more often enemies, always rivals, these four men together held Europe in the hollow of their hands.'įour great princes - Henry VIII of England, Francis I of France, Charles V of Spain and Suleiman the Magnificent - were born within a single decade. 'Never before had the world seen four such giants co-existing. ![]() ![]() Yet the ferocious needle-toothed ""shit-weasel"" that escapes from him is only one of three varieties of invader the protagonists, and eventually a black-ops containment force, face: the others are Grays, classic humanoid aliens, and byrus, a parasitical growth that threatens to overtake life on Earth. The first chunk of the text offers a tour de force of terror bound in darkest humor, depicting the arrival at the four guys' remote hunting cabin of a man who's fatally ill because he harbors in his bowels an alien invader. The action shuttles between present and past, following primarily the tribulations of a band of five males four regular guys from Derry, Maine (setting of King's It and Insomnia), and their special friend, Duddits, a Down's child (then man) with telepathic abilities. In its suspenseful depiction of an alien invasion, it superficially harkens back to King's early work (e.g., the 1980 novella ""The Mist""), but it also features the psychological penetration, word-magic and ripe imagination of his recent stuff (particularly Bag of Bones). Yet despite its excessive length, the novel one of the most complex thematically and structurally in King's vast output dazzles and grips, if fitfully. So much for the theory that it's word-processing alone that leads to logorrhea. In an author's note to this novel, the first he's written since his near-fatal accident, King allows that he wrote the first draft of the book by hand. ![]() ![]() ![]() "This was Labyrinth by way of Angela Carter, and I think my soul has been aching for a book like Wintersong for the last decade.
