Historical Fiction I really loved the character of John Grey in Voyager, so I thought I’d start Diana Gabaldon’s spin-off series while waiting for The Drums of Autumn on audio. I tend to split the time I spend on her books listening to the audio (the reader for the Claire-Jamie books is one of the best audio book readers I’ve heard) and reading them, and this one was no different. I had another book started, but I found myself picking this up between work commutes instead. I don’t recommend reading this novella collection first, though, since the first novella is the only one that chronologically precedes Lord John and the Private Matter, the first full-length novel (well, full-length by normal human standards, if not by Ms. Gabaldon’s own). I got far enough in this collection to just go for it and finish, but I was really regretting not having read Lord John and the Brotherhood of the Blade by the time I got to the third, and last, novella. I’ll be jumping right into the first novel, as I really enjoyed this collection. Lord John’s sense of humor, his relationship with his valet Tom Byrd and his friend Harry Quarry, and how they help him in his sleuthing, made for a wonderful read. sin reseñas | añadir una reseña
Diana Gabaldon, #1 New York Times bestselling author of the celebrated Outlander series, delivers three mesmerizing tales of war, intrigue, and espionage that feature one of her most popular characters: Lord John Grey. In Lord John and the Hellfire Club, Lord John glimpses a stranger in the doorway of a gentleman's club-and is stirred by a desperate entreaty to meet with him in private. It is an impulse that will lead Lord John into a maze of political treachery and a dangerous, debauched underground society. In Lord John and the Succubus, English soldiers fighting in Prussia are rattled by a lethal creature that appears at night. Called to investigate, Lord John soon realizes that among the spirits that haunt men, none frighten more than the specters conjured by the heart. In Lord John and the Haunted Soldier, Lord John is thrust into the baffling case of an exploding battlefield cannon that ultimately forces him to confront his own ghosts-and the shattering prospect that a traitor is among the ranks of His Majesty's armed forces.
