A top-secret government experiment goes horribly
wrong, and opens a door into another dimension.
A powerful energy wave sweeps through the Earth,
knocking out all electricity and causing some humans
to mutate into fairy-tale like creatures: demons and
other things which have new powers. New York attorney
Cal Griffin is determined to escape a Manhattan that
is quickly becoming a war zone, in order to save his little
sister who is slowly turning into something quite alien.
With a group of newly-made friends, Cal and his sister,
set out to find the Source, which is slowly remaking
the Earth into a place both horrifying and full of
wonder.
Written well before the events of September 11th, Magic Time shows a New York City which is devastated by a vicious attack from an invisible enemy which readers will find very disturbing indeed, especially with current news reports of Al Queda attempting to obtain suitcase nukes. Zicree who is a well-known television writer, writes in a fast-paced, episodic style. The idea of the Source is interesting, and is sure to be explored more in future books. Altogether, this is an intriguing premise which should please readers enough to pick up the next installment in the series.
