Holdstock has long been one of the most sophisticated practitioners of the SF/fantasy genre, with an imagination that never ceases to surprise and beguile. This first volume of the Merlin Codex sequence has an ambition and reach that could very easily have resulted in a grandiose failure, but the fact Holdstock pulls off his multi-stranded epic with such panache will not surprise those who have closely followed his career. The premise is that centuries before Camelot, Merlin wandered the Earth, enjoying eternal youth. Joining Jason on his quest to find the Golden Fleece, Merlin sets in motion actions that will cause him much regret hundreds of years later. The magician is obliged to set out on a trek to the north to rescue the sons of Jason, stolen by the enchantress Medea. Clearly, this is that very rare thing in the genre: a totally original concept - particularly welcome when so many fantasy tropes are tired rehashings.

Cover Art: Larry Rostant Ilustrador. 1st Edition. © 2001: 1st in the 'Merlin Codex' series of books. 1st edition, 1st printing:- Synopsis: Centuries before he meets Arthur, Merlin wanders the Earth, eternally young, a traveller on the path of magic and learning. During his journeys he encounters Jason, whose search for the Golden Fleece he joins. It is a decision that will cost him dear. Hundreds of years later, Merlin hears of a screaming ship in a northern lake and divines that it is the Argo, and that Jason still screams out for his sons, stolen by the enchantress Medea, and thought dead. But death is not the end, and Merlin's trek to the north leads to the revival of both man and ship, and a new quest, with new companions - to find Jason's sons:- Review(s): "'Celtika' begins 'The Merlin Codex', a new series from Robert Holdstock, Britain's premier author of the fantastical. Roving from the frozen north to the blighted and ghostly island which will become Arthur's realm, from the deep forests familiar to Holdstock's readers from his Award-winning 'Mythago Wood' and 'Lavondyss' to the ancient sanctuaries of Greece, Merlin's journeying is rich with incident, character and history. 'Celtika' mines a deep vein of epic tale, mystery and enchantment" / "Holdstock has a beautifully subtle imagination that conjures up worlds and events with enviable ease. A writer of both heart and fire" - Peter F Hamilton / "Our finest living mythmaker. His narratives - intense, exuberant, earthy, passionate, dense with metaphor - are new trails through the ancient forest of our imaginations. An essential writer" - Stephen Baxter / "No other author has so successfully captured the magic of the wildwood" - Michael Moorcock / "Rob Holdstock's is one of the voices at the very heart of modern fantasy" - Guy Gavriel Kay:- (original cost £16.99).
