Adam Lofthouse answered Keith's question: Adam - well I know have a new favorite author! Wanted to say Thank you for The Path of Nemesis! You have a unique talent for making me feel as if I was standing next to these guys with my shield in one hand and gladius in the other. Damn, I was born 2000 years to late. Do not stop what you are doing. And if you question your efforts, never again do so?Peace out. Keith Harry Thanks Keith! Sorry for only just seeing this, I'm not on here much. Hope you get a chance to move on to my other books

A brilliant book! Anyone involved in publishing should read. A satirical look at the industry with an underlying important message, and a POV character who feels the feelings all writers have at some point in their careers. I loved it!
