'You shall help me find him still . . . there is nowhere for the boy to hide.'

Orphan boy Cirrus Flux is being watched. Merciless rogues are conniving to steal the world's most divine power, which they believe Cirrus has inherited.

Now he faces a perilous journey through the dirty backstreets of London as a sinister mesmerist, a tiny man with an all-seeing eye, and a skull-collecting scoundrel pursue him. Cirrus must escape them. It really is not safe to give such evil people such incredible power . . .

'Summed up in one word - perfecion! Although we''ve had to wait a fair few years for Mr Skelton''s latest offer, and no doubt the time he has taken to write "The Story of Cirrus Flux" caused his editor and publisher more than one sleepless night I am glad to say it is a tale worth waiting for. Like the Halcyon Bird, Mr Skelton has risen from the ashes of his last book (and I mean that in a complimentary fashion) and given us, not a rehash of "Endymion Spring" but rather a wonderfully rich, evocative and beautifully written book. I have but one request, and this goes out to both Mr Skelton and his editor - don''t let it be so long before the next book, eh? Pah, who am I kidding - even if it is it''ll still be worth the wait as this one was. '
