A search for a sorcerer’s mirror may shatter a man’s mind in this colonial-era thriller by the New York Times-bestselling author of Cardinal Black.

In the year 1704, Matthew Corbett is about to go up against an antagonist completely different from any he has faced before. On a trip to Italy to track down Brazio Valeriani and information about the mirror created by his father, the sorcerer Ciro, Matthew and Hudson Greathouse find themselves marooned on a beautiful island known as Golgotha—a place that hides a multitude of secrets and puts both of them at terrible risk.

The islanders welcome them with a massive feast—but as the island pulls them deeper into its influence, the castaways struggle to maintain their grip on reality, even their very identity. Matthew must keep his wits about him and solve the mystery enshrouding the other side of the island, where an active volcano looms and an elusive creature lurks…

This new novel in the series by the five-time Bram Stoker Award winner is a compelling concoction of history, mystery, adventure, and terror that takes us deeper into the early eighteenth-century world of Matthew Corbett, his compatriots, and his mortal enemies.

“This popular series takes us to a long forgotten time with characters who never fail to entertain.” —The Florida Times-Union

“The Corbett novels are rich, atmospheric stories, the kind of historical mystery that makes the reader feel as though he really has stepped back in time.”—Booklist

Not class Maccammon.

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on July 29, 2022

There are great moments of writing in this tome and great moments of dull repititive to-ing and fro-ing. The denoument for the explanation of the beast is rather dull. I liked the claustrophobic atmosphere of the island and the tension it builds about how to escape. I also liked the backstories of certain characters but found myself skipping pages just to finish this tome. Its a bit flabby in sections ie hudson and brom fight, needed to be trimmed.

Hope updates improve kindle edition.

Love this series and happily, unlike others I could mention - Mr. Lynch - there is not that long between novels. I have given the max for the plot znd the writing. However, the kindle editing is all over the place with swathes of prose repeated and where are the illustrations? Hopefully Mr Kindle can get his minions on the case and rectify these faults.

Another Amazing Matthew Corbett Book

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on September 17, 2022

Robert R. McCammon has made another amazing entry in the Matthew Corbett series. Though I understand some readers have been upset that this entry seemed to be a side note to the continued search for the mirror, I disagree. If Mr. McCammon decided to write ten more books in the Corbett series and continue with side adventures I would be happy. I say this because of Mr. McCammon's superb storytelling.
I dont really have much to add about the story in this book because I am sure others have explained the premise. I don't want to potentially give spoilers either.
I do want to comment on one character in particular. DeKay. I could not stop reading during DeKay's backstory. In addition, the backstory of Cardinal Black was equally a page turner (or page swiper on my Kindle).

Disappointed!

So disappointed in this book. I truly wonder if McCammon even wrote this one! It is not up to his usual standard and a poor addition to his Matthew Corbett series. This is at a 4th grade reading level also. I have always loved his writing and have read all of the Matthew Corbett novels. I am almost through this one but it has been a struggle to be sure. I will not be reading anymore. Maybe it’s time Matthew and Berry to get married and live happily ever after and Hudson to settle down with the widow and retire!

Better off reading the crib notes and waiting for the next book.

I have enjoyed all of Roberts books, not just the Matthew Corbett ones. This is his first book I really did not care for... Seemed more like an idea he horseshoe'ed Matthew into, and one that can be quickly forgotten.
