Ordinary Brit follows beautiful woman thru portal to "Mysterie" from "Realitie" and becomes "focus" to foil satan's plan to destroy the world. Picked this up in Kindle a while back as it was cheap enough to replace my print edition. Finally finished it - but I did finish it in the end unlike Clive Barker's Weaveworld. It has a similar premise to Weaveworld in that there is a 'otherworld' existing bedside ours, but is rather lighter in execution. Toby Dexter is a perfectly ordinary wage-slave in Bath commuting every day from Bradford-on-Avon, and falls in love with a woman he sees on his train but doesn't have the courage to talk to her. Leaving the station on the way home one day, they are caught out by unexpected rain and Toby follows her through a door that doesn't exist - into the realm of Mysterie (from Toby's realm of Verite). Things are happening in both worlds - and Toby turns out to be a focal point - his actions and decisions will decide the fate of both worlds. Yes, it's urban fantasy, but it's gritty not the usual sparkly girly fare. Well-written and enjoyable. nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione

When Toby Dexter falls for the woman on the train, the woman with the most perfect mouth in the world, he little realises that she isn't quite human: she lives in the magical world that exists alongside our own. And when he follows her to ask her out, he accidently slips from his own world, Veritie, into hers. She warns him that it's a dangerous thing to be a mortal in the magical world of Mysterie and that he must not fall in love with her: she's much older than she looks and mortal must not love immortal. But for Toby, it's too late. But because this is a Simon Green novel, it's not just a romantic fantasy: in Mysterie, there's big trouble afoot, and before Our Hero can win the hand and heart of his Lady, he'll have to face malevolent immortals, shapeshifting demons and violent gods, all told with Simon's trademark tongue-in-cheek humour and excitement.
