Riassunto

Life is quiet for Alex Verus. Amazing.

With a flat full of friends (and the occasional fish), and business booming, why not enjoy the humdrum here and now?

But of course that's too good to be true. In a sudden and cruel pincer movement of fate, Alex finds himself fighting a sinister and powerful gang as well as his own demons - for the same crime.

Held hostage by the choices of his past, Alex's future is now in jeopardy . . .

Recensione:

Harry Dresden would like Alex Verus tremendously - and be a little nervous around him. I just added Benedict Jacka to my must-read list (Jim Butcher)

Jacka writes a deft thrill-ride of an urban fantasy - a stay-up-all-night read. Alex Verus is a very smart man surviving in a very dangerous world (Patricia Briggs)

London's hidden wizardly community spell-blast each other entertainingly in this urban fantasy romp. Fated is highly enjoyable (Sun)

Filled with tense and compelling writing (SFX)

Whoop-ass excitment from the new master of magical London (Charles Stross)

Jacka puts other urban fantasists to shame . . . A stellar blend of thoughtful philosophy and explosive action (PUBLISHERS WEEKLY (starred review))

With its blend of gritty London streets and magical underworld, Chosen has real cult appeal (DAILY MAIL)

The best instalment yet as Alex the seer collides with his dark past and Benedict Jacka matures as a writer (BOOKBAG)
