Riding the Unicorn cover

'A familiar theme with a large dose of blackly common sense' - SFX 'So striking and exciting' - REACTOR PRISON WARDEN JOHN WILLOBY IS BEING PULLED BETWEEN WORLDS. He disappears for minutes at a time from the prison and appearing in the midst of a makeshift medieval encampment before tumbling back. That, or he's going mad, his mind simply breaking apart. It's clear, to him and to his family, it must be the latter. His wife can barely stand him, and his daughter doesn't even try; he drinks too much and lashes out too easily. He isn't worth anyone's time, even his own. But in this other world - this winter land of first-settlers - he is a man with a purpose, on whom others rely. A man who must kill a King so as to save a people. With a second chance, Willoby may become the kind of man he had always wanted to be. 'A gripping, fascinating fantasy novel' - SFFWORLD
