The Burning Man by Mark Chadbourn
After a long journey across the ages, Jack Churchill has returned to the modern world, only to find it in the grip of a terrible, dark force. The population is unaware, mesmerised by the Mundane Spell that keeps them in thrall. With a small group of trusted allies, Jack sets out to find the two 'keys' that can shatter the spell. But the keys are people - one with the power of creation, one the power of destruction - and they are hidden somewhere among the world's billions. As the search fans out across the globe, ancient powers begin to stir. In the bleak North, in Egypt, in Greece, in all the Great Dominions, the old gods are returning to stake their claim. The odds appear insurmountable, the need desperate ...This is a time for heroes.
He challenges accepted points of view, comments on religion and politics and questions perceptions, all while cracking open various mythological historiesYou'll be mulling over its concepts for weeks afterwards." -- SANDY AUDEN SFX "Fast-paced, incident heavy and big on characters as well as ideas, this is modern fantasy for people who don't like modern fantasy. It's a contemporary, very modern take on classic myths, character archetypes and the end of the world." DEATHRAY
