Warring clans, a missing son, and a mysterious role-playing game at the center of it all.

Geof Franklin gets the late-night phone call every parent dreads and learns that his son has been missing for weeks. As he relentlessly searches the city for Alek, he gets pulled into the orbit of a cult-like sub-culture of clans that live by their own rules and think nothing of killing anyone who stands in their way. To have any hope of reaching his son he has to keep digging, but he's digging himself into more and more trouble -- with the mysterious clans, and with the law.

"This is a great urban fantasy novel that doesn't involve immortal blood drinkers and strange interspecies attraction," says a reviewer. "Think Lord of the Rings in Washington D.C., but light and fun."

"This is quite a creative book," says another review, "where the author develops a whole new world of games and fighting clans that take place inside our own regular world."

This revised second edition includes all the stories in the series, including The Underground Escape and The Elf Assassin.

Descrizione prodotto

L'autore

Greg is a lifelong Marylander and a happily married father of five wonderful children. He's enjoying a successful career in professional publishing in the Washington, D.C. area. He earned a bachelor's degree in Geology and studied theology as preparation for ordained ministry -- then thought better of it. He loves Tolkien, the Dune books, Sherlock Holmes, P.G. Wodehouse, Mark Twain and C.S. Lewis when he's not reading history, philosophy or politics. Greg has always enjoyed long chats with friends over a beer or two about the issues of the day, and he fulfills that need in the digital age by writing the Crowhill weblog (http://crowhill.net/blog). Greg is a long-time home brewer (beer, wine and mead), an occasional jogger and flag-football player, an out of practice black belt and trumpet player, an avid writer and blogger, and enjoys camping and fishing.

5,0 su 5 stelle A whirlwind tour of our own world... But everything is not as it seems
Recensito negli Stati Uniti il 18 novembre 2012
Acquisto verificato
Hidden Village is a short page-turner that contains a big story. While the book has a thread of fantasy running through it sure to draw in fans of "Lord of the Rings", the story left me wondering about possibilities within our own world. Geoff, the protagonist, goes on a search for his missing son and soon finds himself on a search for ideas and worlds that lie hidden underneath the layer of the hustle and bustle of today's modern society.

The ontological questions raised in the book are fascinating. Are all men truly created equal? as the American ethos foundationally claims. Does one moral code guide all humans equally? as most monotheistic religions fundamentally assume. While the traditional answers to these questions are not seriously challenged, the "what-if" scenario Krehbiel constructs makes one toy with the idea that other answers are at least possible.

By the end of this fast-paced saga, the reader is left wondering how so much has so subtly been challenged and explored. As satisfying as this story is, I am left eagerly awaiting the story's continuation.

4,0 su 5 stelle An Engaging Read with a Disappointing Ending
Recensito negli Stati Uniti il 3 febbraio 2013

The Hidden Village (The World Next Door) is nearly perfect. I was captivated by the story and read it quickly, trying to find out if Geof's son had been drawn into a cult or something more insidious. I enjoyed the Dungeons & Dragons in the real world premise of the story.

What keeps me from giving this story a five star review is the ending. I was reading along, thoroughly enjoying and completely absorbed in the story, when, suddenly, I was smacked in the face with the ending. It was like running into a brick wall (not that I have, but you know what I mean). The worst part was that the author felt the need to write a few quick paragraphs to answer all the unanswered questions. It was just not enough to undo the damage. I would much rather have the book be a little longer and go into more detail with the ending.

5,0 su 5 stelle Very Creative!
Recensito negli Stati Uniti il 28 novembre 2012
Acquisto verificato
This is quite a creative book, where the author develops a whole new world of games and fighting clans that take place inside our own regular world(more specifically, around Washington, D.C.). It is very well written and easy to read, goes smoothly in one single seat and grabs your attention from the beginning.
Plot is simple: a father receives a phone call and discovers that his son is missing for weeks. While searching for his son, he finds a scaring new world and the more he digs into it, the more dangerous it becomes, both in his real and fictional worlds. I found the end surprising and we just stay wondering if something like the described situation cannot be real... Will there be a sequel?

This is an excellent entertainment reading that I recommend to the permanent library of any science-fiction lover. It took me around 3 hours to read the whole book.

This book was written by Greg Krehbiel and published by Crowhill Publishing in October 2012.

4,0 su 5 stelle A very interesting concept
Recensito negli Stati Uniti il 10 dicembre 2012

This book used a different perspective than that of the other fantasy works that I have read, and I appreciate its originality. Books in this genre can be a little much for me sometimes: I found this approach refreshing. I would definitely recommend this as a fun and interesting read.
