The Prestigeby Christopher Priest
Synopses & ReviewsPublisher Comments:In 1878, two young stage magicians clash in the dark during the course of a fraudulent séance. From this moment on, their lives become webs of deceit and revelation as they vie to outwit and expose one another. Their rivalry will take them to the peaks of their careers, but with terrible consequences. In the course of pursuing each other's ruin, they will deploy all the deception their magicians' craft can command — the highest misdirection and the darkest science. Blood will be spilled, but it will not be enough. In the end, their legacy will pass on for generations...to descendants who must, for their sanity's sake, untangle the puzzle left to them. Review:"Remarkably akin to the style of the late Robertson Davies...Priest has brought it off with great imagination and skill." Publishers Weekly Review:"Hypnotic....The Prestige provides the satisfaction of an ambitious and well-told entertainment." San Francisco Chronicle Review:"Extraordinary...like a dazzling magic act!" Entertainment Weekly Review:"Just as a magic act should be: filled with haunting marvels." Time Out London Review:"Nothing quite prepares you for the sinister complexity and imaginative flair off The Prestige....Magnificently eerie." The Sunday Times Review:"Beautifully written....Priest masters the merging of SF and mainstream, and The Prestige is his finest novel to date." New Scientist Review:"A taut, twisting, prize-winning story....An unexpectedly compelling fusion of weird science and legerdemain." Kirkus Reviews Review:"As ingenious as it is suspenseful." Newsday Review:"[A] marvelously scary entertainment with one of the creepiest final revelations in recent years. Don't miss the magic show!"
