Jinn Hunter - Tahir Shah - Bog

An oddball and loner, Oliver Quinn was raised by his uncle, the proprietor of Ozymandias & Son - New York's most bizarre emporium of Oriental rugs.

Through a series of what he believes to be coincidences, Oliver discovers a portal in the basement of the shop - a portal to a magical world called Zonus.

Gradually, Oliver comes to understand that anything he had ever considered to be fact is actually fantasy, and that if he's to survive, he'll have to start thinking in an entirely new way.

Most importantly, he grasps that another life form exists - overlaid atop our own - that of the jinns. Far from being the loveable blue genies of Hollywood, they are terrifying in the extreme.

Learning that he's descended from an ancestral line of Jinnslayers, and that the greatest jinn in existence has escaped, Oliver Quinn is enrolled into the Cadenta, the Academy of Jinn Hunters - the legion of defenders who protect us all from rogue jinns.

Through trials and tribulations, Oliver is made ready to take on the great jinn, Nequissimus, as life as we know it spirals out of control.

With nothing as it seems, and with every route a potential danger zone, the young Jinnslayer has no choice but to grapple with uncanny, ever-changing versions of reality.

A cross between A Thousand and One Nights and Men in Black, THE PERPLEXITY is the third extraordinary novel in Tahir Shah's much-acclaimed JINN HUNTER series.

As bizarre as it is compelling, it sucks the reader deep into a realm conjured from the farthest limits of fantastical imagination.
