Gray A moderately intriguing beginning devolves into a didactic monologue regarding Etruscan religious practices followed by explicit sex and gratuitous violence. So sorry I happened upon this volume. No redeeming virtues.
43 of 50 people found the following review helpful. A Tale of International Intrigue. A Terrific Plot, Great Description but Sometimes Confusing POV. By Bill Anderson Length: Print, 379 pages; Audible, 10 hours 52 minutes.This novel is targeted to people interested in crime fiction stories with an international venue.What was the Amazon Rank on the date this review was published? 2,418.Please join in the conversation by leaving a comment at the end of this review and also let us know if you find this review helpful. By all of us networking together, internet commerce can be a win-win for everybody, because producers can learn what they need to do; consumers can purchase what they are seeing; and reviewers can improve their analysis and can then be a part of the solution.This book review is a little more difficult for me than the average novel. First, it has been translated into English, which makes it a bit of a task to determine what aspect(s) are due to translation; what idiosyncrasies are due to a writing style common in the country of origin; and what habits are unique to the writer. Still, the popularity of this work leads one to believe this book deserves, no, demands a review that goes into some analysis. And, book analysis is not something I am especially good at. I simply love good stories.What I like about this story: The major plot is intriguing and the story keeps improving along the journey. The writer does a terrific job of showing us, instead of telling us, what is evident along the way. Her description of one horrific scene was excellent. Done without unnecessary gore, but sufficiently to re-awaken in me a scene I witnessed shortly after two workers fell some 55 meters to their death on a construction project my employer had in Egypt. Because that scene was horrific, I am grateful the author didn’t go delve further into the scene than she did.Another aspect, central to this story, is dealt with rather well. That is the supernatural aspect, that I’ll not describe for I loathe spoilers. I am especially appreciative in this aspect, for, although I do definitely believe in the supernatural and have some experience in the sort she details, I nearly always reject stories in which ESP is key to solving the story. I reject such a premise in fiction simply because using it as a key permits the writer to solve crimes too easily. Anyway, the writer of The Guardians of History does not commit that crime and I am pleased.Having praised her writing, I will voice my objections near the end of this review.Is this a book that I can read without having to read others first? This is the first in a series.Is this a stand alone or is there an unresolved ending? Kind of a mix of both. One could read this novel and stop there and, I believe, feel contented. Yet, there is clearly more to the story than is revealed at the end.Are there a lot of typos/misspellings, grammatical errors or other editing failures? I did not notice any, other than what may have been a result of the translation. At any rate, this is a professional writer and the book has had professional editing.Is it a quick, easy read and is the writer enthusiastic in his/her approach? Fir 379 pages, this is an incredibly fast read. I also think it might be more entertaining to listen to the audio version. I intend to make it one of my two selections next month. After I’ve had sufficient time to forget much of the specifics, I will listen to it while commuting.What sort of language does this writer use to amplify the points made? Definitely this is written in adult English. People offended by frequent use of the f-bomb will want to read something else. Of course, there are few writers of crime fiction who shy away from harsh language.My one misgiving with this book was the point of view. It seemed to change so frequently that I would tend to get confused. Especially unnerving was the habit to introduce the character’s inner thoughts within or between contradictory statements. It did tend to help clarify that they were the thoughts by having those bits in italics, but, for me, it was unwelcome. View the short excerpt below, but note and have used caps instead of italics because I haven’t discovered how to italicize within the Amazon review.EXCERPT:Confusion displayed by this excerpt (multiple points of view)“Bruce asked him to come with me,” said Tomas McKey. “We’ve both known Jethro for years, and we thought that his support might facilitate negotiations.”NEGOTIATIONS? I SHOULD HAVE KNOWN THERE WAS SOMETHING SUSPICIOUS GOING ON.“There will be no negotiation, Tomas,” Katherine said, with a piercing gaze.“Please, Katherine, we’ve been discussing this for six months.”“Yes, and I’ll tell you the same thing now that I did then. My idea is not for sale. I agreed to partner with you to produce the cartoon, but I have no intention of giving up the creative rights.”“Katherine, Xavier Inc. is prepared to invest a lot of money in this project.” “You keep saying that. And I will keep telling you until the day I die, Blood Trax is mine.”“Bull[expletive deleted]. That’s not what I agreed to.”“What? I have made myself clear from the start.” Katherine felt anger burn inside her.“You work in publishing. You’re not cut out for the television business. No one creates an empire overnight. You’re getting too cocky, Katherine,” Tomas said, raising his voice.Katherine glared, suppressing the urge to throw him out of the room.“If you turned Blood Trax over to us, we could realize incredible growth. Maybe you’re just afraid to lose the spotlight.”WHO DOES THIS POTBELLIED JERK THINK HE’S DEALING WITH? “Tomas, I gave you the chance to make the pilot episode of the cartoon. I accepted your overpriced fees, because I was well aware of your friendship with the shareholders. But after today, I’m done dealing with you. You’ve crossed the line.” Katherine…Cametti, Elisabetta (2015-11-17). The Guardians of History (K Series Book 1) (Kindle Locations 187-201). . Kindle Edition.If it weren’t for my confusion and for the inner thoughts display method, I would have regretted only that I could not award six stars. But, the POV was confusing enough for the two above cited reasons, I have rated this novel Four Stars. Still, of course, I look forward to the sequels with anticipation for a great ride.Mind you, it is possible I sound unhappy with the book. I am not, I am definitely glad that I purchased The Guardians of History. I merely want to ensure my review helps potential readers decide if this tale of international intrigue is right for them.
