From the dreaming spires of Oxford, Lewis Gillies drives north to seek a mythical creature in a misty glen in Scotland. Expecting little more than a weekend diversion, Lewis finds himself in a mystical place where two worlds meet, in the time-between-times -- and in the heart of a battle between good and evil.
The ancient Celts admitted no separation between this world and the Otherworld: the two were delicately interwoven, each dependent on the other. The Paradise War crosses the thin places between this world and that, as Lewis Gillies comes face-to-face with an ancient mystery -- and a cosmic catastrophe in the making.

Well. I must admit I did return this to the library without finishing it. I kept reading and reading, almost to halfway through it just hoping for something to pick up and excite me. But it didn't... even when I got to the Otherworld. [a:Steven Lawhead] just did so much better with [b:Hood 2073686 Tales From the Hood (The Sisters Grimm, #6) Michael Buckley http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1255704105s/2073686.jpg 2078934]. With [b:Hood 2073686 Tales From the Hood (The Sisters Grimm, #6) Michael Buckley http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1255704105s/2073686.jpg 2078934] I was enraptured and in love with all the characters and events and could not read fast enough to get what was coming next. But perhaps it is because Hood was from last year (2006) where The Paradise War is from 1991, maybe Lawhead has just gotten better. Who knows. Either way, I do not really recommend this book. There are too many other, better things out there to read.
