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

brilliant
the power of five series is incredible Horowitz introduces the characters incredibly well and the twists and turns in the plot are both fast paced and unexpected but is also easy to read and follow. i can't wait for the new book in october, and would recommend this to anyone who has read books such as harry potter, or any of garth nix's books.

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 the limelight has been taken off the usual culprit of matt and been replaced by some unlikely heroes.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...
