Paul Hoffman read English at New College, Oxford, before working in over twenty different jobs, including boardman in a betting shop, messenger boy to a City merchant bank and teacher. He is author of The Wisdom of Crocodiles and The Golden Age of Censorship and now works as a screenwriter, co-writing and producing films.
His name is Cale. They told him he could destroy the world. Maybe he will . . .
The Sanctuary of the Redeemers is a desolate place - a place where hope and joy are not welcome. Most of its occupants have been brought here as young boys, against any will they might have once had. They cower under the terrifying regime of Lord Redeemers whose cruelty and violence have one singular purpose - to serve the name of the Hanged Redeemer.
No one knows their way around all of the Sanctuary, so vast and twisting is its maze of corridors - corridors filled with the stench of centuries old religious fervour.
Standing in one of these corridors is a boy, looking out of a dark window, looking out at the latest unfortunate arrivals to this hell. His is perhaps fourteen or fifteen years old - he is not sure and neither is anyone else. He has long-forgotten his real name, but now they call him Cale. He doesn't remember anything of his former life. He doesn't know anything of his future life . . .
Meet the Angel of Death.

評分故事的開始,就被毫無頭緒的黑暗牽扯著,看的我一陣頭暈目眩,煩躁的不得瞭。沒有曆史背景的描寫,沒有故事緣由的交代,一開場,扔給讀者的就是一個充滿絕望毫無生氣的聖殿。然後是對聖殿這個地方冗長繁復的文字描述。我嚮來對這樣的句子沒有抵抗力,很難快速消化。 還好,主...
