Willem Asman has emerged as The Netherlands’ Stephen King, an author whom Asman greatly admires and whom he has adopted as his role model, even to the point of absorbing his handbook On Writing and following King’s directions to his advantage. The result is a grand story that takes us in several directions, from an Indian temple in the Andes to the international power struggle following the 9/11 attacks.
