A Maxim Jakubowski selected title.
A follow-up to the much acclaimed 'The Just City' from Canada-based Welsh author Walton. Fantasy with a strong philosophical bent involving the Greek Gods but not as we normally know them and the middle volume in what is planned as a trilogy. Set 20 years after the initial volume, this sees many of the characters and their children now growing up in the city built along the principles of Plato by the Gods, including Athene and Apollo who is now living there in human form.
War, revenge, time travel, adventure, debates about the nature of the world and free will alongside fast moving action make this something of a unique proposition but one well worth the effort, a fantasy adventure about not just ideas but humanity. Unique and fascinating. ~ Maxim Jakubowski
Twenty years have passed since the goddess Athene founded the Just City. The god Apollo is still living there, albeit in human form. Now married and the father of several children, the man/god struggles to cope when tragedy befalls his family.
