Back Cover Blurb:
When Rick Hendry is contacted by a federal agent to help investigate a growing number of mysterious vanishings across Australia, he finds himself immersed in a world where normal is a very narrow view of reality. The two men are joined by a doctor, an archeologist, a journalist, and an Afflür Hunter.
They soon discover that in the bush, south of Sydney, among the beach goers, walkers and picnickers, a menace grows. The mysterious Bledray monsters are preparing for a Gathering; a feast of epic proportions. Only the Afflür Hunter and Guardians can stop them, but their strength is failing and humans are needed to help prevent a second holocaust.
A Single Light is an urban fantasy tale of ghoulish monsters and non-human protectors battling to save humanity amid the spectacular and rugged landscapes of the Royal National Park south of Sydney.
Leslie takes the general premise of good versus evil and creates a one of a kind novel. Vivid yet dark descriptions bring this world to life as a backdrop for a solid plot. There were some very surprising plot twists that kept me on my toes while also providing a very interesting and unique story.
The cast of this novel was a whole lot of fun. The varied personalities each added to their plot in their own way. The gradual character development allowed the plot to progress quickly, while also providing a whole lot of information to the reader.
Once again Leslie has created a unique novel that stands out from the norm while also fitting quite well into its genre. This was a good read that I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend to others.
