About the Author :
David Morgan Williams was born in Cwm near Ebbw Vale and now lives in Cwmbran. He's a former teacher and senior lecturer in Education at the University of Wales, Newport; also a tutor for the Open University and visiting Professor in California State University.

Review :
A brief summary of the first novel in the Celtic Odyssey sets the scene for this sequel. Set in Dubai, Huw and two valuable horses are kidnapped by a group who are somehow connected to the terrorists in the first tale. Huw meets two Bedouin children who help to rescue him, in a mixture of plucky adventure and mystical intervention. The author evidently knows Dubai and does a good job of describing the location, so much so that the last chapter reads like a holiday brochure, complete with references to famous hotels! His short chapter style makes for a fast read, making it accessible to the target audience of 911 year olds. However, the content evil terrorists intent on revenge and the destruction of the West might be more suitable to older readers. The characters feel as if they could have been more fleshed out; they seem to lack emotional depth. However, for children who enjoy pacy adventures, this fits the bill nicely.
