New Review for The Azimuth Trilogy
Jack Sanger’s sprawling epic, Azimuth is a
trilogy that brings to mind myth and folklore of times long gone. It conjures
memories of a barely remembered past; one that feeds the subconscious and
brings to life archetypes almost forgotten, yet still resonate in our
collective unconscious; the stuff of dreams and legends. The narrator, Kamil has
been commissioned to tell the story of the Magus – ancient patriarch of the
current dynasty - to Sabiya and Shazrad, royal princesses of the court. The
story is a dual revelation; one of origins and the other of court intrigue and
danger. It is reminiscent of such fables as Morte D’Author, Lord of the Rings, The
Arabian Nights and the Adventures of Ullyses; even stories of Krishna and the
Bhagavad Gita from ancient India. Its appeal is multicultural and encompassing;
something for everyone. For those who revel in that nebulous region where myth
and memory blur, this book is for you; and for those who simply love a great
read. The story is broken down into chapters, each one relaying the life and
adventures of the Magus; stories of magic and mystery. Each chapter is self
contained yet the stories are connected and masterfully intertwined with the
myriad plots and conspiracies of life at the royal court, which are the
backdrop to this amazing adventure. I give it a Five Star rating and recommend
it to all lovers of myth and pre-history. Can’t wait for the movie!
