More About This Book

Overview

When Robert Adams sees the statue of the Sun Singer in a lonely meadow he hears the song of the sun and receives the gift of prophecy. He excels as the Soothsayer of West Wood Street until a psychic dream graphically foretells the death of his best friend's sister, Julianne.

Robert blames himself for the tragedy he cannot prevent and shoves his bright talent into the dark shadows of the future where, he suspects, it will one day save him... or kill him.

After blindly vowing to finish a task for his ailing grandfather, Robert steps through a hidden doorway into a world at war where magic runs deeper than the mountain rivers. Now he must resurrect his dangerous gift to fulfill his promise, uncover the true secret of Julianne's death, undo the deeds of his grandfather's foul betrayer, subdue brutal enemy soldiers in battle, and survive the trip home.

The journey is a physical one: mountain trails, a resistance group fighting a tyrannical king, a vision quest on a mountain peak. The inner journey is the one that matters, bringing back sanity-threatening talents and the kind of magic that will subdue enemy soldiers, heal the sick, and bend time itself. The Robert who returns, transformed into the Sun Singer, is not the Robert who walked into the mountains.

    Malcolm R. Campbell’s The Sun Singer is a rich tapestry of

    Malcolm R. Campbell’s The Sun Singer is a rich tapestry of wisdom and wit. Starting with captivating family banter and culminating in an adventure so grand that it can only be magical, this hero’s journey takes the reader to a land beyond the narrow constraints of everyday identity - a land where a boy can discover just what sort of metal he is truly made of.

    Generational relationships play an important role in this book, and anyone who has ever had a special connection with a grandparent or grandchild will treasure the bond between Robert and his grandfather. The warmth between them is palpable, and lessons are delivered wrapped in ribbons of jest.

    The writing itself is lyrical and dense, and the plot is complex, compelling, and original. Dreams, alternate dimensions, and nested stories interweave, one on top of the other, until they are braided so thick that the reader cannot possibly guess what will happen next.

    This is a book I’m sure I will return to and share with others, again and again.
