Synopsis

This is not your daughter’s unicorn. No glittery pink stuffed animal. No. The Red Unicorn means certain death …

Ex-Pat American Vietnam War Vet Amboy Stevens wants nothing more than to live in peace in 1982 Argentina. But with the Falkland Islands War raging, he is forced to protect a fellow six-fingered American girl who has lost her memory.

They stumble upon a myth as ancient as humanity itself and are soon on the run from warlocks, Nazi treasure hunters, the cult of the unicorn, and sorcerers who want the pair for their own nefarious reasons.

From Buenos Aires to the Island at the End of the World, they are chased, harassed, possessed, attacked, and beleaguered.

Worse. The Red Unicorn is near. If they hope to survive, they'll need to work together. Because their meeting wasn’t accidental. It's been predicted ever since they were born, their six-fingered hands an interlocking symbol that no one else can replicate.

Very Tanith Lee, with lots of commas and question marks. It's almost too bad she decided to go with the unicorn motif for the sequels, because both the gold and red unicorn were disappointing. The eponymous red unicorn was only there for like a chapter and felt rather superfluous. Still, a happy endi......more

Goodreads review by Kate on February 17, 2018

(Rated more as 3.7 to 3.8 stars) I got to say the other two books were mostly about Tanaquil searching for family and exploring her magical talents. This third one focused in on her emotions, and how simple the answers can be (they can be right in front of you). She is finally coming to terms with h......more

Goodreads review by Sandra on August 14, 2016

Once again it's enjoyable to read about Tanaquil and her familiar, the peeve, but this time it feels as if the whole story is unnecessary. (view spoiler)[The world Tanaquil finds herself in is just too silly and the fact she can do anything makes the whole plot null and void. (hide spoiler)] It's as if Lee threw all the stray fan......more
