Required Reading

Life is complicated enough without getting into hotwater with federal agencies so: TAKE NOTE Many things I review I received at no charge in exchange for an honest review. Consider this as informing you that ALL things I review may have been gotten at no charge. Realistically about 40% but in order to keep things above board just assume that I got the stuff free. I do not collect information on my readers. If cookies or other tracking stuff is used on my blogs it is due to BLOGGER not ME. Apparently the European Union's new rules state I need to inform you if cookies are being use. If they are it isn't byu me, consider yourself INFORMED.
Words like, “sponsored,” “promotion,” “paid ad” or even just “ad” are clear ways to disclose that you’re being paid to share information and links so BE AWARE that some of what I write can be described as an AD by the government. BTW I will NEVER say a product is great, super or even acceptable if it isn't, whether I got it free or NOT!

The Osiris Ritual by George Mann


Sir Maurice Newbury is a deeply flawed secret agent of the UK’s Queen Victoria.    His addiction to opium appears to cloud his judgement rather than provide him with the clarity of thought he claims.   A mysterious mummy and two rogue agents provide the gist of the plot.

Newbury and his assistant Miss Veronica Hobbes have a complicated relationship.   Complicated relationships seem to be the norm.  Treachery pops up in surprising places along with a dubious magician and an Egyptian curse.  Steam punk attributes abound in the story.  I particularly enjoyed the steam powered motorcycle.

Newbury’s friend, Bainbridge, fears for Newbury’s wellbeing.   Newbury has deep feelings for Miss Hobbes but is afraid to express them and put her in danger.

I’m enjoying Mann’s visions of a steampunk alternative earth.

I recommend the book and the series.
