Did you know there is a Facebook page...

... for David C. Downing's novel, Looking For The King? Here it is.

Among other things, the page has photo albums of many of the places where events take place in the novel. And there is a link to a new and enthusiastic review of the novel, posted on the TolkienLibrary.com site:

Maybe it was the cover image, maybe the subtitle, maybe the blurb, or even a combination of the three but within an hour of receiving the book I started reading. What happened next was a big surprise - and this had not happened for a very long time - I was unable to put this book down and had to read until the end (despite of the fact that I should have been sleeping and that I had to work the next day). And now I know… it is not only possible to visit J.R.R. Tolkien, talk to C.S. Lewis and go to an Inklings meeting but you can also smell, feel and taste the atmosphere of Oxford in the 40’s. Now I believe that no movie would have been able to re-create the world I walked into and once again well written words triggered my imagination better then any moving image could. I can only say, thank you David C. Downing…

Read more. As I've written already, I really enjoyed the novel; it left me wanting a sequel, which is the sign of a tale told well and of strong and memorable characters. Learn more or order the book on the Ignatius Press site.
