"A beautiful fantasy novel!"

Summary

A Game of Chess is the thrilling sequel to The Dream Factory. Peter Young
thought things couldn't get any worse after his parents were snatched from his
home. He was wrong.

With the help of a revolutionary ephone called Om, and his girlfriend Navinda,

Peter's desperate search for his parents takes him from a sleepy Devon village
to the chaos of London. 

However, Peter and Navinda are merely pawns in a deadly game of chess,
orchestrated by criminal mastermind Rosencrantz and the sinister Golden Hand. 

Who will play the final checkmate? 

My review

For me it was nice to 'meet' the characters from The Dream Factory again 

in this sequel: "A Game of Chess".

As always the author is a wonderful detailed story teller and before I 
knew, I was into the story. So it really is a page turner!

"A Game of Chess" is well written, clear and it read easily, which I 
like very much.

This is a dark and compelling tale with a beautiful love story. If you like
quirky fantasy novels, this is a must read book! I recommend it with a
5 * rating.
