VBT and Giveaway: Vengeance of Grimwald by Richard Hacker


Vengeance of Grimbald
by Richard Hacker



~~~~~~~~~~~~~

GENRE:   Fantasy Thriller

~~~~~~~~~~~~~

BLURB:

Addison and Jules, members of the League, a secret alchemist society of Inkers who protect the time continuum, believe they defeated their enemy, Cuthbert Grimwald, known to them as Kairos. When he resurfaces filled with vengeance, intent on destroying the League, and acquiring the Alchimeia, a book of such power the League has hidden it for millennia, Grimwald leaves a path of destruction across centuries. As he quests for absolute control of reality, Addison and Jules pursue him through time and death in a desperate struggle to save the world from his vengeance.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~

EXCERPT
“You’ve done well my friends. A bit of a shaky start, but in the end, I am pleased with the result.”

Jules glanced to Addison, who was also pulling himself up to stand. “What are you talking about? You could have killed us.”

“If I wanted you dead, we wouldn’t be talking.” Boggy raised his hands as if to parry their blows. “Today’s lesson is partnership. Do you see?”

Addison slowly rotated an arm with a grimace. “Keep talking.”

“Inking is a dangerous enterprise. You find yourself in a foreign world in an earlier time, often fighting to survive long enough to complete your mission. But the physical dangers of inking do not hold a candle to the emotional and psychological dangers. Your consciousness, the essence of your being, occupies the mind of another. With each passing moment, a small part of who you are slips out of your grasp unless you master the relationship between Inker and host. You must die to live, right? But all living creatures naturally gravitate toward life and away from death. The world of an Inker is therefore a paradox of conflicting realities. Without a partner, you struggle alone against insurmountable odds. Partners have each other’s backs, keeping the hosts alive and the mission viable. And upon completion, partners ensure their hosts die. Because we never leave an Inker behind. Never.”

My Review

Vengeace of Grimbald, book two from Richard Hacker’s the Alchimeia series. I have not read the first book yet and feel this one could be read as a stand alone. Though, I would like to read the previous book. I thought this was a great read. It has a combination of time travel, science fiction, fantasy, adventure, danger and action. I had no problem reading it in one day.

 I am giving Vengeance of Grimbald four and a half stars. I recommend it for readers who enjoy fantasy reads.


I received this book from the publisher. This review is 100% my own honest opinion.
