The Seagull Drovers by Steve Cockayne
Nothing is right in the Land. King Matthew is indisposed, the city dominated by the malevolent Fang. Crops are dying and even the seagulls have lost direction. Leonardo Pegasus, retired magician, probes the murky depths of the Signal Network, where unseen forces vie for supremacy ...Ashleigh Brown, urban teenager, yearns for the open road, for the gaudy wagon of Wanderer Liam Blackwood ...Charles Bannister, wealthy businessman, plunders the Outer Isles, hunting for secret riches ...While across the Land, roaming bands of Seagull Drovers seek to guide lost gulls back to the coast - who may hold the key to all ills.
There is no faulting Cockayne's story tellingHis style is direct and simple, yet very engaging. He seems as equally comfortable writing pathos and humor as he is at dealing with myths and violence. SFREVU.COM A heady fusion of well-known fantasy tropes and the quiet oddness of everyday life, with a dash of social satire for good measure. ZONE-SF.COM A laudable and immensely readable debut from a sparkling new voice DIVERSEBOOKS.COM Original ... well written ... emotionally involving ...quite charming. An excellent beginning to a vibrant new fantasy saga THE ALIEN ONLINE
