The Ring of Solomon: A Bartimaeus Novel

398 pp. | Hyperion | November, 2010 | Trade ISBN 978-1-4231-2372-9 $17.99
(1) 4-6 In this prequel, wisecracking djinni Bartimaeus is bound to one of King Solomon's evil magicians. Meanwhile, Asmira, trusted guard to the queen of Sheba, is sent to Jerusalem to assassinate Solomon. Stroud has crafted a worthy companion to the Bartimaeus trilogy, keeping what worked (snarky first-person voice, labyrinthine plotting) but adding enough new elements to keep the story inventive and satisfying.
