Enter a 7k year old golem into modern day US. Add a sprinkling of mana that is slowly returning to the world and finally a cabal of 13 immortal imprisoned sorcerers. As with all of Mr. Nuttall's magic books, he has necromancy in this one but to far less an extent than normal. It is actually just a plot supporting device instead of the plot. This actually works and helped me get into the book since one can only read so many necromantic novels before needing something new. :)While the characters don't make some of the best decisions, they were completely mundane without even the slightest bit of contact with the mysticism that does occur within our society. In the end, they did the best they could with the limits imposed upon them by their outlook and society's restrictions. Unfortunately, that leads to one helluva mess before it all gets cleaned up.I went into the book expecting a light not too terribly realistic scenario and ended up enjoying the hours of reading it provided. I recommend it for a good light read.
