Paul Hoffman read English at New College, Oxford, before working in over twenty different jobs, including boardman in a betting shop, messenger boy to a City merchant bank and teacher. He is author of The Wisdom of Crocodiles and The Golden Age of Censorship and now works as a screenwriter, co-writing and producing films.
His name is Cale. They told him he could destroy the world. Maybe he will . . .
The Sanctuary of the Redeemers is a desolate place - a place where hope and joy are not welcome. Most of its occupants have been brought here as young boys, against any will they might have once had.

Standing in one of these corridors is a boy, looking out of a dark window, looking out at the latest unfortunate arrivals to this hell. His is perhaps fourteen or fifteen years old - he is not sure and neither is anyone else. He has long-forgotten his real name, but now they call him Cale. He doesn't remember anything of his former life. He doesn't know anything of his future life . . .
Meet the Angel of Death.

评分故事的开始,就被毫无头绪的黑暗牵扯着,看的我一阵头晕目眩,烦躁的不得了。没有历史背景的描写,没有故事缘由的交代,一开场,扔给读者的就是一个充满绝望毫无生气的圣殿。然后是对圣殿这个地方冗长繁复的文字描述。我向来对这样的句子没有抵抗力,很难快速消化。 还好,主...
