RUUD ANTONIUS
The first book tells the strange story of events leading up to and the tumultuous end of Mark Miworth Caerphilly’s term of office as Mayor of Cornbridge Town under whose regime the tiny village of Son upon Tine falls. Two different time lines and two different perspectives present us with an hour to hour account how this small community is affected by the ever increasing complexity of lies and deceit to cover up political sensitive information in a surreal setting where the night is heavy and the milk man proves to be a hero. Rooms vanish, time distorts and unlikely figures set in a rural micro world become a reality, a natural fact never to be questioned.
Anthony Bridewell, a man in his mid forties unfortunately becomes a victim of being in the wrong place at the wrong time and gets drawn into a position where he can do little but start the noble fight against the council together with Abram Young the milk man, Peter Outslogh a simple farmer and Angela Hilsop, a defected personal secretary to the Mayor. As the plot thickens and timelines merge the inevitable resulting chaos reminds us of the world we live in, where there are very few differences with the absurd and preposterous situations created within the boundaries of Cornshire.
Review by Pamela Bacon:
'Son upon Tine is a balance act between power brokering gone psychotic and moral rectitude. Combine suspense, psychological twists, dimensional rips and skullduggery and you have one heck of a gripping story that is hard to put down. Typically, I maneuver through a book, catching the nuances so I have a good idea what is in store for me, the reader. On more than one occasion, I was left shaking my head in disbelief that I had not seen the writing on the wall. Mr. Antonius made it easy to be transported to another country and absorb the spirit of the environment. Son upon Tine is well worth the read. I am looking forward to the upcoming second book in the trilogy.'
