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!

The Thirteenth Man by J.L. Doty

Frankly I am annoyed that I haven't read many of J.L. Doty's work before.  I really enjoyed this book.   This intro is contrary to my normal review process.   Generally I give an idea of the nature of the book, then I talk about the characters and plot and lastly I provide my recommendation.   In this case, if you don't care to read any further, I highly recommend this book!
  

A systems wide civilization is the set for this story.   A deluded king wants to be an emperor but is held back by a feudal system of strong dukes.  Said deluded king forms questionable alliances and disrupts the lives of his subjects.

Charlie has returned from the dead. A prisoner of war, he has suffered for the delusions of his king.   A bastard, he has not be recognized by the duke he serves and loves. 

The plot is somewhat predictable but still highly entertaining.   This is not an intellect challenging book but it is a darn good read.   There are simplistic scenarios that still make you want to turn the page.

The author has a sense of humor with which I can relate.  The trampsie names are hysterical and really did make me LOL.

Doty writes an entertaining book that kept my interest, made me laugh and satisfied my need for the good guy winning.

I highly recommend the book and I will be seeking out more of his work.

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