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.
Good book! Thoroughly enjoyed the history of Oasis. Well told, as was the conspiracy that drives the story.
There’s so much going on in this book, but was easy to follow Scout and Kat battle through. Wyatt is soo cool! Deep, dark, & Dystopian ????
Okay, this book may be a bit on the edge for some, but I liked it. A lot of story. Great characterisation. Decent read for no pennies ????????.
Cool cover cool book until it end. Won’t tell what but some won;’t like. Maybe bad taste
My 3rd Brooker read, and a dystopian delight. An imaginative (and provocative) tale.
