Mr. Perkins weaves a tale of fantasy and science that opens to the story with Apollonian and Artemis at war in the middle of the American Civil War and then transports you into the future in the middle of the twenty-fourth century. Artemis is no more than Grant, hell-bent on winning the war at any cost to include child sacrifice whereas Apollonian wants peace and is willing to give Lincoln Tesla's device to achieve it and defy Artemis at any cost. Do not worry you don't stay there long before you have chance to adjust to being transported to Artemis being President Garth Ulysses and now Artemis and Apollonian are stuck on earth together since the death of Lincoln. Stephen takes us on a trip of science, fantasy and history to achieve that he is best at writing a story that no one can put down. This much like his other tales you can not afford to put down because it is all in the details. Do not worry he is not too wordy, he gives you just enough to pull you in and keep you in the tale. The details are important because as the story unfolds the details keep you in the loop and allow you a sneak peek of what his characters are thinking, doing and beyond what is right in front of you. You will want to add this to your to be read pile because this is one tale that allows you to snuggle in and pour yourself into your book.
