Omschrijving
Winner of the 2019 Kops-Fetherling International Books Silver Phoenix Award for Best New Voice in Fiction, Seidon's Tale thrusts together two characters who couldn't be more unlike each other. Jake Hewitt, on the lam from a state trooper in Lubbock, Texas, comes across an old man on the back roads of West Texas. The old man claims to be Poseidon, Ruler of all the Seas. A scoffing Jake offers the man a ride, only to have his own life turned upside down by this mysterious stranger who weaves a tale of gods, love, and revenge. At the novel's climax, the two men are confronted with a life-altering decision. Just how far is a person willing to go for a friend? "Following the lead of authors like Madeline Miller and Rick Riordan, who pen modern mythology-based fiction so well, Seidon's Tale depicts Poseidon as a complex but kindhearted god who loves his brothers and sisters almost to a fault." -Kops-Fetherling Silver Phoenix Award, 2019 "The pacing is fantastic and the narrative flows effortlessly. Lovers of Greek mythology will love this never before explored sides of the gods and their very human emotions."
