Synopsis

"A captivating second addition to the Simon Trilogy. Intense rhythmic development woven brilliantly--at times haunting and foreboding--at others a palpable sensation of an unerring power, leaving you to confront your own views of contemporary events. The modern political thriller has a strong advocate in Fernandez." Maestro Debra Cheverino, Internationally Recognized Conductor, Fulbright Scholar, Florence, ItalyFresh on the heels of her acclaimed first novel Brotherhood Beyond the Yard, Sally Fernandez has penned the sequel Noble’s Quest, adding more sparkling thrills to “The Simon Tetralogy” she is authoring.Major earth shaking events in Europe and the USA converge to fuel Interpol and the States Intelligence Agency to join forces. Although seemingly detached, the threats prompt Noble Bishop, Director for the SIA and Enzo Borgini, Executive Director of Police Services from Interpol, to conduct joint investigations. Leading edge technology is used to unravel the labyrinth of connections. The events are not coincidental. The enormous risks facing the USA and the world eventually draw the newly-elected president into the picture. Land grabs, political manipulation, and a terrorist camp, along with sea changes in the American psyche are skillfully woven to form a tapestry of intrigue. The widely sought mastermind of the global terrorist threat adds a breathtaking twist that lends even more intrigue to the narrative.Written in the author’s patent style, readers will be beguiled by the artistic marriage of established facts with a storyline that lifts creativity to new heights. Readers will be challenged to separate fact from fiction, in the true Fernandez style.

MAESTRO DEBRA CHEVERINO Internationally Recognized Conductor, Fulbright Scholar, Florence, Italy "A captivating second addition to the Simon Trilogy. Intense rhythmic development woven brilliantly--at times haunting and foreboding--at others a palpable sensation of an unerring power, leaving you to confront your own views of contemporary events. The modern political thriller has a strong advocate in Fernandez."

GARRETT B. VONK President-Keiser Career College & Southeastern Institute Florida "Put it down, NO WAY! Simon at his tricks with a sparkling cast! There were new unexpected developments that truly enhanced the Brotherhood. So real, it's easy to visualize in real life. Or was it. Making us wait for number three is crazy! Bring it on Sally. I thought it merited 6 stars."

ALADAR GABRIEL Florence, Italy "Noble's Quest is a scary work of art. Work of art, because it carries forward the brilliant writing of its predecessor, the interplay between the characters and the plot that makes this book even more of a page-turner than the other; scary because it brings us to face up to the consequences of what was only hinted at in the first book, that is, what could happen next after a Harvard gang of nerds (but a few of them aren't just nerds, as is revealed in the tome) takes advantage of the attributes of our modern society, communications, finance and technology, to control the presidential election. We are transported from Harvard to the Utah desert, from Washington to Berlin, Paris and London as the plotting unfolds and we are shown the schemes to undermine world order that are lurking, literally under our feet. A complex psychological battle between the hero and the evildoer, who know each other, and therefore their respective faults, since college years, deepens the tension. Fernandez doesn't write just fables. As we go through our political elections in their modern garb, it's not difficult to see elements, which remind us of those in Noble's Quest."
