The Tourist

The Preacher #6

by Nathan Burrows

History doesn't repeat itself in Ireland. It just refuses to be buried.

In the shadow of Killarney's medieval buildings, a modern crusade is about to begin. When wandering preacher Caleb stumbles onto a conspiracy that threatens to shatter Ireland's fragile peace, his mission of salvation becomes one of survival. In a town where ancient grudges hide behind revolutionary zeal, his robe marks him as both outsider and target.

At the heart of this unholy pilgrimage stands Rory Sheehan, a true believer whose manifesto is etched in violence and signed in blood. Only his sister, Fiona, a trainee nurse whose family secrets run as deep as Killarney's foundations, stands between him and catastrophe. As the town prepares for a historic summit, Caleb must reconcile his spiritual path with the violence required to stop Sheehan from turning Ireland's most picturesque town into an altar of sacrifice.

Sometimes the past doesn't want to stay buried. And sometimes it comes back armed with everything the future has to offer.

[AR bee · Rating 5 out of 5]

In the sixth book of the series, Caleb takes his tale to Ireland, where he becomes entangled in his own and Ireland’s troubles. It’s a struggle between his spiritual path and the violence of nationalism that threatens his very being.

This captivating novel only adds to the growing thriller-mystery that is The Preacher series.

Read as advance reader.

Or The Devil, He May Take Ye
Crime thriller set in southern Ireland, with terrorist plot against World Summit and it's effect on local family, already shaken by revelations from the past. Well developed characters and plotlines, with dark humour throughout. Vivid descriptions of the aftermath of violent events, but never gratuitous.

Brilliant

Wow, another great book. Caleb is a traveller, he wears a monk's robe and is known as The Preacher. A higher force lets him know where he's needed and he is quite handy in a fight. I hope there will be many more books featuring the Preacher. Well worth five stars.

A favourite series

I really enjoy the more complex characterisation of the Preacher - highly recommended. As you expect, good prevails, but it is far more nuanced than the genre might lead you to expect.

Another excellent preacher story

The preacher is in ireland, doing what he does best, sorting out the bad guys, and getting the girl, before moving on to the next adventure.

where’s book 7?

I really really really like this series. I just get really sad when I get to the end of the book especially when I know the next book hasn’t been published yet.

I absolutely loved this Preacher book. I am hoping this isn’t the last one in the series and that there will be more adventures with Caleb
