The second in his trilogy—the first, Advent, was reviewed in Agenda’s last issue—Anarchy opens in British Columbia Canada, where strange things are happening.  Jennifer, a fifteen-year-old girl, suspected of murdering her brother, is locked in a cell, but disappears, leaving nothing behind but a horrible rotten fish smell; a boy is found alive on the beach; all electronics go haywire—computers, phones, televisions.  All over the world people are disappearing.  How is this connected to the events at the end of Advent, the first book in the trilogy?  Marina, the thirteen-year-old child of a human and a mermaid, is all alone in Pendurra, everyone but the priest, Father Owen, having left her.  She decides to venture at the urging of Holly, the dryad guard at the gate that has up to now kept her in.  Thus begins her wanderings where she eventually meets Gawain’s mother, who has traveled from London to Cornwall in search of him.
