Reliquary by Kris Brooker
A theocratic Commission rules. Patron rules absolute. The people believe they are protected by Saints, and that their city alone survived Armageddon.
When a Duma crime-boss tasks Scout to track down a stolen Relic, what he omits to mention is the Commission want it too, and they’ll kill anyone who stands in their way.
Find the thief, find the relic. Find a heretic, Kat, who’s as dangerous as she is beautiful. Scout puts them both in the crosshairs of a state sanctioned assassin. Their survival now depends on finding the relic.
It’s an uneasy alliance, through a black market in forbidden history into an underworld of religious sects, to find they’ve stumbled upon an ancient prophecy, and into a heretical coup.
All sides desire the relic. Understanding it’s purpose will reshape the future of Mankind.
Stuck in the middle of heresy and armageddon. It’s a cracker of a tale, if a bit dark at times. Assass9n dude is awesome.
I have no problem with this book. Religious dystopia is coming. Great characters and imagination…
Reading the book was enjoyable . As a Christian I found the ending offensive. Ys, I understand it’s made up, nevertheless.
Cool, cool, cool book. Might be a bit chilly at the end for some, but not me.
Read the book cos I liked the cover. Wasnt disapointed.
