Nevada, USA - fourteen-year-old twins Jamie and Scott Tyler are performing a mind-reading act in a dingy theatre. But when a sinister multinational corporation, Nightrise, kidnaps Scott, Jamie is left alone - and wanted for murder. He becomes embroiled in a corrupt presidential campaign and breaks into the American prison system before being propelled ten thousand years into the past, where he encounters the other Gatekeepers and witnesses the creation of Raven's Gate - and the first fateful battle against the Old Ones.

Customer Reviews

Grand Theft Auto- Just a game?
It would be unfair not to pay tribute to this book for its extraordinary writing, its attention to detail (no two paragraphs are the same), its scope and linguistic style. Or so I'm told. I haven't read it, of course. I did have a go at the author's previous book, but I believe there's a secret language built into all modern novels that makes them stultifyingly boring and at times nausea-inducing to anyone aged over 25. Even so, young people tell me that it is very good indeed.

Cool book!!!!!
Apart from a few bits that confused me, this book was really good. Not usually into sci-fi type books but this one was an exception!!!!!!!!!

excellent
As the title describes this book in one work- excellent, an imaginative amount of twists and turns for the read in Nightrise.
once more showing the importance that the main character is not necessarily the most important. the limelight has been taken off the usual culprit of matt and been replaced by some unlikely heroes.
i loved learning about the history of the old ones and their initial defeat which brings even more questions of how they shall be defeated this time round? another great technique used by Anthony, answering the questions we all demand of yet bringing up new even bigger questions that again everyone who has read the book must find out.
if you have liked anything Anthony Horowitz has done in the past or you simply love fantasy novels then this is a definate buy...
