Espionage: A Book Review

Espionage

by Morgan Huneke

About the Book:

“Sir Roland has invited us to visit for the Autumn Feast.”

“Do we have to go, Papa? I couldn’t feast with the most crooked politician in all of Briznom.”

As the daughter of a Briznomian vassal lord, Vannie Cumberland has spent her childhood immersed in the world of politics. Relations between Briznom and the neighboring country of Calhortz are strained due to the tyrannical rule of the strytes. A proposed alliance could calm relations between the two countries, but would come at the cost of Briznom’s freedom.

When her father’s political archenemy invites them to the Autumn Feast, Vannie uncovers an evil scheme endangering the life of someone close to her. Personal enmity comes to a dangerous head as Vannie struggles to expose the corruption and stop the alliance. Time is running out.

Events are becoming too big for her to handle. Will Sir Roland’s son help, or will things finally spiral out of control?

Espionage, A Companion to Time Captives, will be released on May 16th, 2016.

~~~~~~~

I had the great honor to yet again be one of Morgan's proof readers for her newest addition to the Time Captive saga. Having read all her prior books, either as a proof reader or just for fun, I knew that great things lay in store - and I wasn't disappointed in the least. The characters are well-written, and the setting is perfect as the land of Briznom faces great challenges from the country of Calhortz. There's the perfect combination of danger, adventure, and fun as well. Many were the times I laughed, sighed, gripped the manuscript in suspense, and cheered the heroes on.

The entire series is mostly aimed towards elementary and middle school ages. However, my whole family enjoys reading them, so I think it's safe to say all ages should read them. As a young woman in my mid-20's, I personally like to read "easier books" for a change of pace at times.
