The Rainbow Man by P.B. Kane is a quiet, sinister fantasy thriller with a mythological twist. The stalwart residents of a fictional British island called Shorepoint are beset by hard times until teenager Daniel Routh discovers a seemingly drowned man who unexpectedly comes back to life (with a touch of amnesia) at Daniel’s touch and shortly thereafter heralds happiness and prosperity for the island. These developments prove to be short-lived, however, and young Daniel soon comes to suspect that grey-eyed John Dee may be responsible for the alarming, rapid decline of the islanders’ health and well-being.
Like the secrets of Shorepoint, the plot of P. B. Kane’s The Rainbow Man reveals itself in relentless, slithering waves that break upon the strand of reason and erode the reader’s sense of security. As the various denizens of Shorepoint are alternately lulled into complacency or perplexed by the blight that has befallen their normally idyllic community, shadows loom and threaten until the reader is breathless with anticipation. Conversational, engaging narrative makes The Rainbow Man a real page-turner, appropriate for young audiences but gripping enough to hold any adult’s attention.
In Shorepoint, P.B. Kane has created a vivid, bustling community full of people who could easily be our friends and neighbors; good people whom one would never want to see in distress. As a result, the reader is drawn into the story with a sense of real concern for the way things might turn out in the end. The Rainbow Man is a multi-hued, keenly absorbing work of contemporary fantasy with enduring images that will linger long after the story is finished.
