What if an ancient god escaped his fate and history was thrown to the wolves?
Churchwarden Michaels thought it was just a run-of-the-mill crazy old man who stood in the graveyard, hellbent on studying the 1,000-year-old Viking memorial there.

The All Father Paradox by Ian Stuart Sharpe
My rating: 5 of 5 starsWhat can I say about this book?
Firstly that Ian has the imagination the size of the Ginnungagap.
Secondly that the whole book is a very thorough exploration of What If?.
Thirdly that as a reader you will be whisked down the white rabbit's hole to a Wonderland of characters and narratives.
Fourthly that overall, this book, like a fine mead - may prove too strong and deep for some but those who reach the end... You may feel slightly drunk from the experience.
