Author Spotlight: Dave Duncan “Against the Light”
known Dave Duncan is a prolific writer of fantasy and science fiction, especially his fantasy series, especially The Sword seventh, a man of his word, and of Blades King. He and his wife, Janet lives in Victoria, British Columbia. They have three children and four grandchildren.
Although against the Light is my 45th novel, he is like no other. This is my first story on the true story.
Yes, these are people with imaginary problems imaginary, and is located in an imaginary country. So far, no change. But it is a book by Alice Hogge, God secret agents was inspired by the priests of Queen Elizabeth and Forbidden hatch Gunpowder Plot . Read the story is one of my hobbies, and I found the book very well written and convincing.
In short, 400 years, was a Protestant England by Queen Elizabeth I. In the eyes of the Pope found it to be both a heretic and a bastard, he announced that he will publish all the Catholics in England allegiance to her. Then he turned to his disciples in this country as traitors. Probably most English Catholics loyal to their queen, the queen and the government was reluctant to pursue them, but the conflict between politics and religion were inextricably.
young Catholic men have fled abroad, ordained to the priesthood and returned to the Minister for the faithful. The government is hunting. Many secret hiding places, they can still be used to find in older homes. This type of situation is irresistible to a novelist of the old water mill.
Why did not I just write a novel honest history? Be partly because the story is not as tidy as fiction and should be optimized, but because a fantasy world isolates the problem of its modern avatars, prevents the reader to take sides, either consciously or unconsciously.
Do not worry, I’ll try to preach. I hate fiction with a message. My goal with against the Light is to keep only -. And maybe you wonder a bit at the end
