The White Horse Trick
Author(s): Kate Thompson
The world is drowning.
Freak storms and devastating hurricanes sweep across the countryside. No one has enough food or firewood—electricity is an option only for the tyrannical Commander—and then the Commander begins stealing young children away. Pup's little brother is one of the missing.
Determined to save his brother, Pup confronts the Commander and finds himself “volunteered” for a special force. One that will slip through the barriers of time into a land where the sun never sets . . . just as another boy from Kinvara did long ago. With the future of both realms at stake, the fairies and humans must take drastic measures to stop the destruction. But not everyone wants the human race to survive. . . .
The thrilling conclusion to the story that began in the acclaimed The New Policeman.
Review(s):
“Offers readers a taste of genre-blending that is both challenging and successful.”
“Thompson’s sparkling wit, droll humor, and nimble plotting are on full display…[she] has simply outdone herself.”
“Fast-paced, masterful and wholly satisfying.”
“Thompson has done a marvelous job of spinning an entertaining and ultimately hopeful tale, while at the same time criticizing the devastation caused by humanity’s excesses.”
