Book Review - The Mingled Destinies of Crocodiles and Men by Eric Arvin
Novelist Eric Arvin’s latest
literary offering is nothing short of a masterpiece.
In a story that weaves together
the worlds of fantasy, paranormal activity, and romance, the result is not only
a highly entertaining read but also a tale that will resonate with the reader.
The Mingled Destinies of Crocodiles
and Men is set in a time where mystics such as Minerva True occupy an exalted
place in society. It is Minerva, who is a “river dweller,” that recognizes the
danger situated in ancient lore that threatens her world on a hilltop which
once hosted a chapel. Few people heed her prophetic warnings and soon there is
only a small group who stand with her.
Leith, the handsome hero, and
his lover Aubrey are locked into the coming struggle which Minerva has
prophesied. There is also a mute boy called Deverell who is destined to play an
integral part in the drama which will overwhelm them. And Calpurnia, Leith’s
half crazed mother, is drawn into the plot mostly by her own ambitious agenda.
For Calpurnia’s mission is a threat not to only to Minerva’s plight but to
everyone who will play a part in the climax of this inspired fable.
The Mingled Destinies of
Crocodiles and Men is a story which captures and captivates its audience from
the beginning. The atmospheric essence is intoxicating on its own. Yet the tale
itself is an exercise in sheer adventure and enthralling delight.
In a world filled with writers,
few on today’s scene can be considered authors. Eric Arvin is among that
special lot. Each successive story that flows from his boundless imagination is
magic.
5 Stars.
