From Publishers Weekly
Troubled by visions of fourth-century Ireland and a bloodthirsty Irish god, Colin McMahon, an American of Irish descent, soon finds the dream erupting into his waking life. At the urging of a mysterious stranger, he visits Ireland, where the past and the present merge and force him to finish a fight begun many generations ago. Flint's ( The Isle of Destiny ) always impressive command of Irish folklore and religious traditions is here aided by keen storytelling and characterization. His adventure is relayed with good humor, and his reluctant, aw-shucks hero is perfectly matched with a gorgeous virago, Megan, who understands everything, from the right way to pack a picnic hamper to the subtleties of hand-to-hand combat with a mythical being.
