OverviewTwelve months has passed since the traumatic events that almost claimed her life and Dr Orlagh Gairne is looking forward to a well-earned holiday. With her partner, Jerry, they jet off for the Aegean coast where they plan to make the most of the Mediterranean sun and visit the ancient sites of Anatolia. The Phoenix Legion, still reeling from a humiliating defeat, have re-grouped and are now planning the next phase of their quest. They are in possession of the Belgae Torc, but this is not enough to ensure total power so they must rely on the druids and their connection with the spirit world. Whilst searching for treasure in the Sea of Azov, Jack Harrington and his team make an unexpected discovery and with the past merging with the present are unable to avoid being drawn in to another deadly battle. The Belgae Torc, Jack Harrington and The Phoenix Legion are far from her thoughts, but as Orlagh enjoys her holiday with the man she loves, these forces come together. Will she manage to avoid another conflict or will she become a victim of circumstances that are beyond her control? People had died because of the Belgae Torc and somehow she felt responsible. From the author of The Belgae Torc.

Don't worry, you don't have to know very much about the history of the war so don't let this throw you off in any way! Simply, there is so much adventure, espionage, spy tactics, juxtaposed against a present day storyline and Celtic mythology the reader will not be able to stop reading! </p> There is a lot going on from chapter to chapter, a lot of history during various eras supported by a brilliant cast of characters. The sense of place is presented so succinctly that you would swear you were standing right there in the room! Hopefully, readers will not get overwhelmed with all the action, blood and guts. There is romance, friendship and humor beautifully written within these pages. The author has done his research and his passion for history comes across clearly.</p> <strong>Kimberly</strong></p> The Gordian Knot, which is the sequel to the Belgae Torc, is every bit as fast moving and exciting as its predecessor. Kevin writes about subjects which he has obviously researched very thoroughly, and it makes for a very entertaining read. It's a book that was hard to put down, and I am looking forward to the third book in this series when it comes out.</p> Keith D. Taylor</p> The Gordian Knot, sequel to the Belget Torc, featuring the continuing adventures of Orla Gairn and Jack Harrington, offers as many thrills as its predecessor. A fast moving, page turner that sets things up nicely, for the third and final instalment of the saga. I, for one, am awaiting, eagerly. Highly recommended.</p> Julian Field</p> Author InformationKevin Marsh was born in Canterbury in 1961.
