This is a book review of a new novel called The Bestiary. It is a fantasy tale about the pursuit of a secret book called The Caravan Bestiary, which catalogued the mythical creatures that were denied access to Noah’s Ark.
The movie Evan Almighty has spurred a lot of interest in the story of Noah’s Ark. We all know the story, and The Bestiary, written by Nicholas Christopher, tells a different side of this story. Did you ever wonder what happened to the unicorn or the manticore or the dragon?
The Bestiary tells us that these creatures are not mythical, they really existed and their extinction was due to the fact that they were denied access to Noah’s ark. But we still know of them because they were all carefully catalogued in a mysterious book called The Caravan Bestiary.
This book is a tale of one man’s pursuit of this mysterious book. It is a scholarly sleuth that is reminiscent of the DaVinci code. We travel the world and haunt some very old places in our pursuit of the book but this novel goes beyond the normal fantasy sleuth tale and takes you on a trip somewhere else.
There is a message in this book. It is a reverent look at the creatures of our world, both mythical and real. And it is a warning message about the path of extinction that is currently being taken by many of the special creatures that now inhabit the earth. It asks the question: Shouldn’t we do something? Before too many more beautiful creatures are added to the list of mythical creatures that once maybe existed?
This is a thinking persons fantasy novel that, even though is fantasy, it is very relevant and important to the world we live in today. It is currently available by pre-order only and scheduled to be released in July 2007.
