If you like Terry Pratchett, you'll enjoy this new author and the first book in what is sure to shape up as a delightful series. Dark Tidings weaves a complicated plot  entangling heroes from the far past with a hero from the present who all share a common and formidable enemy.I especially enjoyed how Mr. Magee interwove modern conspiracy theories and current events into his story. It added a fun touch of modernism to the adventures of Tung, Madrick and Michael. There were also plenty of laughs added in to the suspense, magic and technology of the story, which all worked to keep me entertained and enthralled.The ending left me a little dissatisfied as it felt incomplete, but it does pave the way for Magee's next book,The Black Conspiracy, so I wasn't too put out about it.All in all, Dark Tidings is an entertaining read and sure to please any fan of fantasy/scifi.
