“Could
the Maker have underestimated his own creation, Tyriano
pondered. Could it be that Temelephas has learned to feel? Could
it be, simply—that over time—this great elephant has taught himself
to break his own nature? Tyriano’s face brightened as he
continued to
explore all the possibilities. “What
could this lead to?” he asked.
All great fantasy/science-fiction novels must ask a question: that
question could be simple, dismissed in a mere handful of pages, or it could be
complex, requiring volume after volume to ferret out. As the quote above suggests, M.P. McVey asks
a big question in his first book, Plod
On, Sleepless Giant. What is the nature of the world as its been
handed down to us? Do we truly know why we know what we know? Or even who we are? By exploring this question from multiple
perspectives (both semi-divine and painfully human), McVey not only presents us
with a fabulous tale, but he makes us question the nature of stories
themselves. For to read is to come
closer to knowing your place in the universe, however large or small; each book
is a step closer toward the most profound knowledge of all. This book might actually count for two or
three steps, particularly if the reader takes time to savor the small details
hidden along the way.
