This caught my eye. I've heard of Brust, but not read him before. This reads like fantasy to me, but the historical detail is convincing. A complicated plot, a lot of explaining about the shared mindspace the Incrementalists share/create. I probably need to read the first of the series to fully understand this one.
A moderate endorsement from me - readers who like fantasy would probably enjoy it more.
OMG! You did? I read it recently but haven't admitted it to anyone until now. I totally agree with you. It went straight into my giveaway pile. I'm pretty broadminded but that crossed the line for me.
I was reading a series by a FL author set in the Gulf curve of the Panhandle...she recommended another Florida author--Wayne Stinnett--and I have started reading his Jesse MacDermitt series--more action-oriented than the usual mysteries I like to read but it is interesting reading about the boat culture in Key West area...
The books center on a retired Marine Sgt (a sniper) who buys a boat and an personal/tiny island in the Keys and becomes a charter/fishing captain...but he is like a magnet for danger...joins a covert Homeland Security Team and dangerous missions against various enemies...
He even take President Bush fishing...
I just ordered the first one in the series, thanks.
