Chris Atkin 📚 ARC readers wanted 📚

Would you be interested in reading and reviewing a new historical fiction novel set in 20th century Spain?

My previous three books have received more than 300 five star reviews. Comment if you'd like to receive an ebook ARC.

Below is the blurb for the book, which is called The Cardboard King.

Spain, 1973. General Franco has ruled the country for decades but his grip on the country is weakening as his health deteriorates. When terrorists assassinate his prime minister, all eyes turn to Franco’s anointed successor, the inexperienced Prince Juan Carlos.

Despite being groomed by Franco from a young age, the prince harbours a secret ambition to dismantle the dictator’s regime. As terrorism escalates and Spain spirals into economic turmoil, Juan Carlos must decide whom he can trust.

When armed forces launch a violent coup, the nation teeters on the brink of another civil war. Will Franco’s heir protect his crown - or ​​gamble everything to forge Spain's new future?

A sweeping political thriller based on true events, this is the extraordinary story of how a prince Spain didn’t want turned out to be the monarch his country needed.

Hi Guiomar, thanks very much for your interest. The book will be released in early March, so the pages on Goodreads and Amazon haven't been created yet, but I would be very grateful if you could leave a review on both sites please. You can download the book in your preferred format here: https://BookHip.com/PFVTKFS

Best wishes,

Chris

Hi Chris!

I too, downloaded an Epub copy of your book 'The Cardboard King'. You can expect a review by April 2026 from me on Goodreads, Amazon.in, Fable & StoryGraph. Sometimes when I love a book a lot then I even review the book on my literary blog insaneowl.com so stay tuned for a review from me. Do stay connected & best of luck in your future book promotional ventures. Have a lovely day!
