Gregor of Durkshire

by J. Andrew Herbert

The Kell has died in a time of political uncertainty. Moctan to the East and Longbridge to the West share a tenuous truce, and when evidence suggests that his passing may not have been natural, Gregor of Durkshire and a team of hand picked men are sent to the rival city state to uncover the truth. As Gregor works to root out possible corruption at the highest levels of Church and government, he finds that he must constantly weigh his allegiance to his men, his country, and his faith.

About the author

J. Andrew Herbert’s goal is to write books that challenge the reader to evaluate personal assumptions once thought to be set in stone. He believes that in a quickly shifting world people owe it to themselves to constantly refine their principles, and he holds that novels are the perfect medium for such work. He considers it a mixed blessing that he has so many story ideas and so little time, which is usually spread across four children, a dedicated wife, and a house that can’t seem to stay fixed.

There are audio samples of his book on Youtube.com and Audible.com. It can be searched and reviewed on this fine site. And he is happy to interact with fans through jandrewherbert@gmail.com.

This is a genre of book that is well outside of my usual preference. However, I enjoyed reading it. I would recommend reading this to friends, especially those who love this genre! Herbert writes with vivid detail, and really brings the characters and their surroundings to life. Now, I will admit that the first part of the book is pretty slow, but not because it shouldn't be there. The characters are being developed and the stage being set, and then the story takes off. All in all, its a great read.

J. Andrew accomplished what he set out to do. Gregor has to see what his faith, and country mean to him, and how that demands his action.
