It is physically impossible for Wu to create the shadow of an eagle with his hands. This may have been an intentional exaggeration for effect. Nathan Field is an American teen with a hard life, a theatre lover and an acting star. He totally stands out over the other boys of his acting company, that is why sometimes they are not nice to him. It’s January of 1704, and Matthew Corbett continues his mission to Italy, accompanied by Hudson Greathouse and former enemy Professor Fell. They seek Brazio Valeriani and information about the mirror created by his father, the sorcerer Ciro. Legend claims the mirror can be used to summon demons from beyond. The writing in this one is once again sublime. There is an excellent origin story of one of the main characters that adds much to the story. Matthew Corbett stays inquisitive as ever, always on the lookout for mysteries to be solved even if it means getting in people’s way. "It was his belief that bereft of curiosity, the mind died, and this was a factor that had kept him inquiring even when the inquiries were met with hostility and even violence; it was simply a fact of life." Yet the same island hides a dark secret, a mystery that will bring low the evil masterminds and challenge Matthew to re-evaluate both his talent in ‘problem-solving’ and the recourse to logic and common-sense that has brought him so far in the series.The King of Shadows is the latest installment in this very unique series of historical thrillers that feature the eighteenth centuries equivalent to James Bond, Matthew Corbett, a professional problem solver, who leaves no stone unturned in his search for the truth. With this character, the author has breathed new life into the historical fiction genre. The hardest part of reviewing this novel is going to be not spoiling anything as I'm known to get a little over excited when discussing this series. Case in point is the dreaded Professor Fell, who could do everything he pleased in early books and who has become a caricature of himself now. McCammon solves this by introducing new evil masterminds in every episode, but this stretches my credulity close to its breaking point. Wu: (Singing and dancing.) Shake what your momma gave you. Yeah, look at this one now. Hmm... oh yeah. Spin round. Oh yeah. I put my feet. When he wakes, Nat finds himself in 1599, an actor at the original Globe - and his co-star is none other than the King of Shadows himself: William Shakespeare.

Although there were a couple violence issues, the King of Shadows is impeccably written: all the scenes come alive in a way I have very rarely seen. The characters are strong and believable and the plot twisted many times which kept the story interesting.

Serija, prasidėjusi kaip istorinis detektyvas su nuotykio priemaiša, kuo toliau, tuo labiau virsta istoriniu nuotykiu su vos vos įmaišyta mistika ir detektyvu. Bet labai skųstis neverta, McCammonas moka pasakoti nenuobodžias istorijas. While Nathan is staying at Shakespeare’s house, a lord visits Shakespeare and tries to convince him to cancel the play. Shakespeare refuses, and the lord leaves. The playwright confides to Nathan that Queen Elizabeth is planning to attend the production in secret. Because the Queen just had the popular Earl of Essex executed, the political climate is tense and her safety is in danger. At a rehearsal, Roper chokes on an apple and Nathan saves his life by performing the Heimlich Maneuver, which had not yet been invented in Shakespeare’s day. The other actors begin to look on Nathan with suspicion after the incident, believing him to be a witch. Shakespeare gives Nathan a poem about the power of love, and tells Nathan that his father did love him, despite his act of suicide.

Maybe it was bound to happen at some point. Maybe it was too much to hold out hope that McCammon could maintain the high quality that I’ve come to expect from the wonderful Matthew Corbett series, even with it being eight books deep at this point. Well here it is, this book marks the dip in quality.For me this series cements Bobby R McCammon as not only one of the best writers in the horror genre, but also one of the best writers of any genre. The scary thing is that this author is still getting better and hasn’t even reached his peak yet. I've been competing a chronological read through of McCammon and the improvement since his early novels is mind-blowing. It's my sincere hope that with the quality of his writing right now, he is soon set to hit the big time and get the recognition he richly deserves. Some airings of this episode place it and " Weapons of Destiny" together as a single episode, due to the combined time length being 20 minutes, the normal length of an episode. Firstbourne · 86.
