  <default_description>&lt;p&gt;From the dreaming spires of Oxford, Lewis Gillies drives north to seek a mythical creature in a misty glen in Scotland.  Expecting little more than a weekend diversion, Lewis finds himself in a mystical place where two worlds meet, in the time-between-times--and in the heart of a battle between good and evil.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The ancient Celts admitted no separation between this world and the Otherworld:  the two were delicately interwoven, each dependent on the other.  &lt;i&gt;The Paradise War&lt;/i&gt; crosses the thin places between this world and that, as Lewis Gillies comes face-to-face with an ancient mystery--and a cosmic catastrophe in the making.&lt;/p&gt;</default_description>

    <body><![CDATA[This is the first book of a trilogy; and like Tolkien's Lord of the Rings books (which he originally didn't want to separate into three volumes --that was the publisher's idea), the Song of Albion books basically form a unit that should be read and considered together.
