Katherine Kurtz

Author Information for Katherine Kurtz

I have to admit that I had more than a bit of a problem with Katherine Kurtz' "Camber" fantasy series. I didn't care for the "what they don't know can't hurt us" and "the end justifies the means" theories she seemed to espouse. The series, however, co-written with Deborah Turner Harris gets full marks from me for escapism. I've been told that the local descriptions are off, but that isn't as important to me as the great "story" involved. Adam Sinclair is "nobility, child psychiatrist, and guardian". The books propose a kind of magic we could all wish was real, and the dedication of a group devoted to fighting evil. As pure escapism, there is enough action to keep your interest, and a cast of characters worthy of concern. That it purports to take place in Scotland, is icing on the cake for me. While they aren't "thrillers" as such, they will keep your interest and fire your imagination. I always look forward to more in the Adept series.
