Four new videos from Leslie Kenton
24 Jun 2014
Novelist Leslie Kenton has produced four fascinating new videos to promote the launch of Ludwig - The Beethoven Conspiracy by Thistle Publishing.
“Giddy stuff, well marshalled with a kind of ingenuous passion for ultimates and the welfare of the planet.” OBSERVER
Ludwig is a very clever thriller about unseen puppet masters and secret societies not unlike Umberto Eco’s Foucault’s Pendulum though without all the prosaic mumbo jumbo.” YOU MAGAZINE
“An intriguing tale of the occult; a modern day CIA agent turned journalist confronts the forces of evil unleashed by 18th century secret societies and embodied in the music of Beethoven. Ludwig is a musically well-informed psycho-spiritual odyssey which combines the world of science fiction with Iris Murdoch in one of her wilder modes. Happy reading!” CLASSICAL MUSIC
