Blurb
From war they came, from violence they became. Now on a faraway world our settlers see war looming once more. The settlers had to adapt to survive, once again living off the land like our ancestors of old. The Tribal Liaison Guild is formed to distill tension between the tribes, as the smallest issue could now lead to war. Jon Harabin is the senior Liaison Officer, and he needs an apprentice to train for the future.
A lad from town, sixteen year old Lucien Devlin, becomes John's perfect protégé. He loves the wild jungle and his curiosity craves to see the tribes above the cataracts, except he doesn't follow rules, yet rules are all that will keep him alive in that treacherous territory. Criminals kidnap a young girl to stir up unrest, whilst exploitation threatens domestic peace. Tensions rise when Jon Harabin liaises to distill the volatile situation, but standing in his path is the rebellious Lucien.
Tense action and adventure ensue, Lucien's quest becomes a path of destiny, and it's now up to Lucien and his friends to find a solution that will lead to peace.
Review
When Jon Harabin of the Tribal Liaison Guild takes on an
apprentice to accompany him beyond the cataracts into tribal lands, nothing
prepares him for Lucien Devlin. This boy has a real issue with authority and
often lands up in trouble, but his high spirits may just save the day.
I thoroughly enjoyed reading about these tribes on another
world, the jungle, the river, the sense of colour and culture, and the
characters are real, I certainly identified with them. Even the criminals were
well-rounded and believable, and added spice to an already exotic tale.
Add to that some great twists and surprises and it will keep
you reading too. Definitely worth it!
