Trespass flits between time zones as it tells a story of a stone discovered in a quarry.Set against a modern backdrop, 1939 and in 3500BC, Trespass shows the entwining stories of 3 individuals who encountered the darkenstone.
I would have to admit that the modern segment did not grip me as much as the other time zones. The character of Jake is well written and it certainly echoes modern school life but this is where it's weakness is. Jake is not a powerful character, he's bullied and a bit of an angry man... and occasionally hard to read.
Having said that however, the rest of the book is an interesting read. I enjoyed the segments written in BC. The characters of Waecan and Burlic springing off the page.
A well written, enjoyable read.
