Synopsis

THE RATS AND THE RULING SEA begins where THE RED WOLF CONSPIRACY ended; Thasha's wedding is hours away. It is a wedding that will both fulfil the promise of a mad god's return and see her murdered. Pazel has thwarted the sorcerer who would bring back the god but both sides now face deadlock. Can Thasha be saved? Can the war between two Empires be stopped? THE RATS AND THE RULING SEA is, once again, focused on the giant ancient ship, the CHATHRAND, but now she must brave the terrors of the uncharted seas; the massive storms and the ship swallowing whirlpools and explore lands forgotten by the Northern world, all the time involved in a vicious running battle with a ship half her size but nearly her match. Robert Redick's new novel takes the reader further into the labyrinthine plots and betrayals that have underscored the trilogy from the beginning. Robert Redick's sequel to the acclaimed THE RED WOLF CONSPIRACY is a masterpiece of plotting and adventure. As each page turns the reader shares with the characters the dawning realisation that nothing is at it seems.

About this title

From the Author

This sequel to THE RED WOLF CONSPIRACY was a joy and an incredible challenge to write. I truly felt as if I were a hostage/crewmember on the I.M.S. Chathrand, alongside Pazel, Thasha and all my other characters. A delirious, exhausting, wonderful and terrible experience it was.

This is Book II of four volumes; it is followed by THE RIVER OF SHADOWS (April 19, 2011).

I hope you enjoy your time with it.

Sincerely,

Robert V.S. Redick
