![]() His enemies and friends along the way are all believable and crafted deftly, as you would expect. ![]() ![]() The character building is astounding, with Jack evolving into someone you really feel you know and empathise with. It is the archetypal story of Good Versus Evil that spans two worlds. Meanwhile Sloat’s ‘twinner’ in the other world also plans to seize the Territories in the event of Queen (Jack’s Mum’s ‘twinner’) dying. He wants to seize their business from Jack’s mother. Accompanied by friendly werewolf (called ‘Wolf’) and later by his childhood friend Richard, Jack must retrieve the Talisman before it falls into the hands of evil ‘Uncle’ Morgan Sloat, Richard’s father. Various people help or hinder Jack in his quest as the story goes back and forth between the two worlds and Jack escapes from one life-threatening situation after another. 12 year old Jack Sawyer sets out on an epic journey in a bid to save his dying mother, by finding a crystal called “the Talisman.” His journey takes him simultaneously through the American heartland and “the Territories,” a strange fantasy land which is set in a universe parallel to that of America that also has parallel versions of most people, aptly called ‘twinners’. ![]()
