PRINCE OF THE EARTH
BY
MIKE ROBINSON
BLURB:
In 1988, young American
traveler Quincy Redding is trekking across the misty terrain of the
Scottish Highlands. She is destined for the infamous peak Ben MacDui,
the summit of which soon finds her inexplicably debilitated and at the
mercy of a malevolent entity.
The book spans twenty years, alternately following Quincy in her 1988 ordeal in Scotland as well as Quincy in 2008, when, as an adult, she begins experiencing abnormalities that threaten her family and her life – phenomena that may be related to what happened all those years ago.
As both older and younger Quincy learn more of their situation, and as their worlds further entwine, she becomes increasingly uncertain of the perceived temporality or reality of each period.

MY REVIEW:
The Prince of the Earth, by Mike Robinson, is a unique read, jumping back and forwards in time to tell the life story of Quincy Redding. It travels back and forth from her present life, where she is a Computer Game Developer, to the period she travelled, as a young independent student, on her own across Europe and Scotland, it also entwines memories from her childhood.
This unusual tale is not an ordinary life story, big chunks of what Quincy believes are her memories disappear, along with objects and people from her past, even family members. It may be an hallucination, it also could be memory loss, but did some type of paranormal experience happen in the Scottish highlands when Quincy was camping alone on the mountain top, in the fog?
Mike Robinson has put together a very well written, adult read, filled with suspense and a twist of horror in which readers are kept guessing.
