The sulphur cloud contracted in to a thick column o f smoke that vomited forth thin tendrils ... There was a barely perceptible pause. Then two yellow staring eyes materialized in the heart o f the smoke.
Hey, it was his first time. I won ted to score him.
When the 5,000-ycar-old djinni Bartimacus is summoned by Nathaniel, a young magician's apprentice, he expects to have to do nothing more taxing than a few simple illusions. But Nathaniel is a precocious talent and has something rather more dangerous in mind: revenge.
Against his will, Bartimaeus is packed off to steal the powerful Amulet of Samarkand from Simon Lovelace, a master magician of unrivalled ruthlessness and ambition. Before long, both djinni and apprentice are caught up in a terrifying flood of magical intrigue, murder and rebellion.
Set in a modern-day London controlled by magicians, this hilarious, electrifying thriller will enthral readers of all ages.
The Amulet of Samarkand has been received with worldwide acclaim. Film rights have been sold to Miramax and the novel is being published in many laguages.
