Read in October, 2004
Le premier tome de cette uchronie est bien écrit. Tellement bien, même, qu’il semble difficile à l’auteur de tenir la distance dans un second tome. Et effectivement, il n’y arrive pas. Bien sûr, la France livrée au barbares a tout lieu d’inquiéter, et certaines scènes (notamment celles dans ce qui reste de l’Angleterre) sont assez effrayantes.

more alt. history
it is 1722 and a second Dark Age looms after the devestating impact of an asteroid, unnaturally drawn to Earth by dire creatures plotting against the humanity.
book 2 of 4. like it's predecessor, although it's not a long book, it is a slow weighty tome. it's a book to be carefully considered, rather than a flighty jaunt.

This was a great alternative history/fantasy series. You have to read all of them to get the full picture. But I think the first one is still the best book. Although, this book was a real turning point for the story. So much happens, and is revealed in this volume.

This is book two of four. The story continues. And I like the way the story continues.
