Carrick

A Newland Tale #3

by G.J. Kelly

From the author of The Longsword Chronicles, The Shi'ell, and The Six Concentrics, comes the third book in the series A Newland Tale...

Carrick Ranuldson is a Vigil in the unique west lobe town of Southempton. It's a town endowed with a special Royal Charter, and it's also a town afflicted by a strange and creeping lassitude known as 'the lazy-ague'. a baffling ailment seemingly without cause or cure.

But more than this, Carrick knows there's something far more disturbing going on beneath the town's indolent facade. It's his duty to investigate, but little does he know what lurks in the darkness and lies in wait at the end of his enquiries... and once his boots are on the path, there's no going back for Carrick.

Reviews

[Buckaroo roo · Rating 5 out of 5]

Wooow, what a page turning side/back story to bring the series current. So gather around my fellow unadulterated Vennlandian weed smokers (or wherever you get your weed from) for this short review before the lazy ague catches up to me. Think Sherlock Holmes mixed with some Perry Mason. Throw in some Kafkaesque villains along with some social commentary and viola, you have this excellent next in series book that I, for what's it worth, recommend you read. The negative part? Well, the only negative is the wait for the next book. And remember kids, smoke to get high, not to die. Bravo Zulu Mr. Kelly.
