Produktbeschreibung
American scholar and lettered medievalist, David Fairchild, swings a plum sabbatical at Cambridge University, where he is given full access to a rare manuscript written by a mad monk of shameful repute-Geoffrey Gervaise. The Westchurch Manuscript has lain neglected in the University vaults for centuries . . . or has it? A shadowy nefarious cabal has had an interest in the manuscript for a very long time and sharpens its claws anytime anyone probes its secrets. Expecting a pleasant year pursuing his passion for medieval literature, Fairchild quickly finds himself entangled in the centuries old curse that surrounds the manuscript and its mysterious author. Murders ensue, the Supernatural stirs and old haunting grounds are disturbed. Fairchild must make some hard decisions if he is to save a family that has lived under the Gervaise curse for generations. Buoyant with humor, and electrified by suspense and shuddering frights, Thomas Bontly's Celestial Chess is at long last available again. In his new introduction to the novel, Thomas Kent Miller reveals everything he loves about this sadly neglected novel and relates his decades-long quest to see it back in print. Bravo! With a pace that sizzles like a five-minute blitz match, Celestial Chess is on the board, so what do you say to a quick game? Your move . . .
