The Dark Volume




Some books are good...others are plain evil. The adventures of our three intrepid heroes continue in the breath-taking sequel to The Glass Books of the Dream Eaters

With old loyalties tested by new and unlikely alliances, Miss Temple, Doctor Svenson, and Cardinal Chang must call on every reserve of courage to face a new and desperate struggle - after all, the integrity of their very minds is at risk.

From palace intrigue and a city in turmoil to wolf-haunted mountains, underground tunnels and a suspicious hidden factory, they must overcome war and heartache to battle old enemies and a host of new villains, all hoping to seize for themselves the power of the blue glass books. Now one glass book in particular drives them all, its deadly contents the key to controlling the secrets of the blue glass, or destroying it forever.

Praise for The Glass Books of the Dream Eaters:

'A page-turner, a rollicking ride. As stupendous as it is stupefying' Giles Foden, Guardian

'Fantastic . . . I was in seventh heaven . . . Somewhere between Dickens, Sherlock Holmes and Rider Haggard' Kate Mosse, author of Labyrinth

About the authors

G. W. Dahlquist

G.W. Dahlquist has two claims to fame prior to writing The Glass Books of the Dream Eaters. Firstly, he is the only individual to bring a private prosecution against NASA for allegedly faking material brought back from the moon (he claimed - unsuccessfully - that several pounds of 'moon rocks' had been lifted from his backyard in Tampa, Florida). Secondly, that the script for the 1978 film Capricorn One - a fictional film about faking a trip to Mars - is based on a documentary he was making regarding his own allegations of a full-blown cover up of the so-called 'faked moon landings'. Filmed footage and research material confiscated by Dahlquist's landlady in lieu of unpaid rent was purchased at a car boot sale in Orlando in 1976 by executives of Warner Brothers. The film was rushed into production, but Dahlquist claims never to have received a dime of the proceeds.
