Required Reading

Life is complicated enough without getting into hotwater with federal agencies so: TAKE NOTE Many things I review I received at no charge in exchange for an honest review. Consider this as informing you that ALL things I review may have been gotten at no charge. Realistically about 40% but in order to keep things above board just assume that I got the stuff free. I do not collect information on my readers. If cookies or other tracking stuff is used on my blogs it is due to BLOGGER not ME. Apparently the European Union's new rules state I need to inform you if cookies are being use. If they are it isn't byu me, consider yourself INFORMED.
Words like, “sponsored,” “promotion,” “paid ad” or even just “ad” are clear ways to disclose that you’re being paid to share information and links so BE AWARE that some of what I write can be described as an AD by the government. BTW I will NEVER say a product is great, super or even acceptable if it isn't, whether I got it free or NOT!

Treachery's Tools by L.E. Modesitt, jr

This is the newest book in the excellent Imager series.  I had lamented recently at the infrequency of Modesitt books and then just weeks after getting Recluce Tales, this book appeared at my door inciting a WhooHoo on my part.   The previous sentences should leave no doubt in your mind that I really enjoy Modesitt's work.  This book takes up 13 years after the Madness in Solidar. The Collegium, home of the imagers.  Times are a changing and High Holders and Factors are butting heads with the weak Rex, Lorien doing nothing to alleviate the growing friction.

Modesitt seems to have a philosophic leaning that is uniquely his own.   He imbues his lead characters with soul searching, depreciating humor and pragmatic consciences.   Sometimes good people need to do bad things and bad things do happen to good people.   Modesitt doesn't hesitate to knock off characters that you like and that provides a realism that fuels the plot. 

I've tried to read everything L. E. Modesitt, Jr. has written. His books are entertaining and thought provoking.

I highly recommend.  




This book may have been received free of charge from a publisher or a publicist. That will NEVER have a bearing on my recommendations.
