In a book that finally solves the riddle of Stonehenge,scholar John North draws on more than 15 years of research to offer a masterful "case-closed" study in which he examines the monument from all available angles--archeological, astronomical, and spiritual--and considers relevant research from other prehistoric remains in Britain and Northern Europe.

Stonehenge is given a credible, even fascinating,
treatment in the prolific Cornwell's latest novel.
He reaches back into English history, back into
prehistory, to follow the exploits and fortunes of
Hengall, the chief of the people of Ratharryn, and
his three sons, Lengar, Camaban, and Saban. Lengar
is poised to succeed his father as chief, but his
greed interferes with his intentions. Camaban
suffers from a physical deformity and has no place
in the succession to his father's chiefdom, but
events take him down a path no one would have
anticipated. Saban, the youngest, is brave and true
and ultimately comes to bear his father's title. But
out of their familial struggle, and the struggles of
the people of Ratharryn with neighboring tribes,
comes the great temple we know as Stonehenge. The
difficulty of such a fictional undertaking as this
is to render these old-time people, with speech and
customs we know very little about, as real
individuals. But Cornwell rises to the occasion
admirably, resulting in total immersion in a place
and time.
