A good story, though it's definitely the middle of a series. A lot of references to events in the first book, and at the end one of the bad guys gets away to continue the fight. Some very clumsy work - Adam sets up this difficult deception, and they know about Napier - but they don't even check to see if they're being followed to the train station? Sheesh. The storyline about Ximena is rather neat - after all of Adam's moans about his matchmaking friends, it's nice to see him find someone. And Peregrine comes into his own a bit more, feeling less like a tag-along and more like one of the Hunt - and then he gets his formal initiation. The Masonic elements feel a bit pasted-on to the storyline, especially when they provide the conventional manpower the Hunt hadn't a hope of supplying. But not bad. I thought I had the third book, but actually I have the fifth - so I need to hunt down the third and fourth. I want to see the end of this story, which is in the third book. And I think I'll keep at least the three - I keep culling them and rebuying them. (

Booklist Review: This admirable, elegant book is the second in the Adept fantasy series, which features the Scottish psychiatrist and reincarnated nemesis of evil magic, Sir Adam Sinclair. Accompanied by apprentice Peregrine Lovat, he goes on the trail of the Lodge of the Lynx, a band of black-magic practitioners he has defeated before but now finds preying upon the Masons. But the lodge is revealed to be only part of a larger plot that harks back to the occult practices of the Third Reich, and that discovery makes for a constantly absorbing story that features excellent pacing, a frequently compelling sense of place, and an equally compelling emotional impact. Highly recommended. ((Reviewed May 15, 1992)) -- Roland Green (
