Reliquary by Kris Brooker
A theocratic Commission rules. Patron rules absolute. The people believe they are protected by Saints, and that their city alone survived Armageddon.
When a Duma crime-boss tasks Scout to track down a stolen Relic, what he omits to mention is the Commission want it too, and they’ll kill anyone who stands in their way.
Find the thief, find the relic. Find a heretic, Kat, who’s as dangerous as she is beautiful. Scout puts them both in the crosshairs of a state sanctioned assassin. Their survival now depends on finding the relic.
It’s an uneasy alliance, through a black market in forbidden history into an underworld of religious sects, to find they’ve stumbled upon an ancient prophecy, and into a heretical coup.
All sides desire the relic. Understanding it’s purpose will reshape the future of Mankind.
Very good and will recomend site to freinds
Not my kind of thing, so not sure why I read it. Nice cover. Did keep me interested till the very end though
Good book for a good read
Brooker’s vision of the future draws heavily on the past. A wonderful amalgam of history, treachery, and, conspiracy, with a twist…
I found the storyline intense. The characters wonderfully flawed. I was truly inspired the finale.
