A fantasy involving 2 historical characters known to have dabbled in
the occult, Nicholas Flamel and Dr. John Dee. Flamel being the hero and
lead of a set of teenage fraternal twins and Dee being the evil one in
league with powerful beings from the earths past. It is set in southern
California, San Francisco and Ojai. The action progresses quickly and
it is artfully written. It is set in current times with references to
the children using wikipedia on the internet. It does not end however,
just segways into the following title -The Magican- and a shift of
setting to Paris, France. It is somewhat like the Harry Potter books.
Time will tell if the series continues the quality of writing through
the various volumes.
