“The ancient family sword’s immaculate steel blade reminded him that there were still parts of the world where this was the only weapon people had, the old ways were still alive and well, and there were creatures out there and powerful things beyond what he could ever imagine.”

Lowell Bracken had complete control. His empire, his ruthless executives, his family’s legacy, his wife, his children, they all had a part to play in the near omnipotent control he exerted in Cumeria. But a freak attack exposed how tenuous that control really is, and Lowell scrambles to preserve it, discovering he is only playing a small part in larger, darker schemes for control.

From the shadows, mysterious and disturbing threats disrupt the already-turbulent business landscape in Cumeria. When blood is spilled, the fight for survival becomes more than just a euphemism for going out of business, and the Brackens’ struggles to retain order might be the only thing keeping all of Cumeria from plunging into chaos.

The Scars of Ambition, the first book in The Cumerian Unraveling Trilogy, contains two maps, an appendix of names, and roughly 95,000 words. The Vendetta Clause has just been released! Find the sequel at: amazon.com/dp/B00GPI2UNQ

5,0 su 5 stelle Letts hits a grand slam
Recensito negli Stati Uniti il 16 ottobre 2013

I went into this book not knowing what to expect. But when the author opened it with a scene of industrial espionage--a theme that is prevalent throughout the story--I was immediately intrigued.

Lowell Bracken is the patriarch of the Bracken family and the head of Bracken Energy, the leading supplier of energy to the country of Cumeria. In this story, we discover Lowell's at odds with Bolt & Keize, a competitor. Yet as we delve deeper and as the pages turn, there is a conspiracy brewing with the weight of politics hanging over Lowell's neck.

As the story evolves, Letts takes each of the Bracken family members on journeys, seemingly to help Lowell. Letts brings these characters to the brink in order to discover something about themselves, or the situation they face.

Highly recommended.

I was going to give this book 3 stars because it never truly grabbed me, but I think that's simply because it's not completely my genre. The corporate espionage side of things was kind of dull to me while the fantasy section was fantastic! There was a dragon. Instant star for that alone.
Letts wrote a hard book to categorize - Contemporary Fantasy is the closest I can come up with. There's not much out there to compare it to. It's like The Firm meets King Arthur. Although I wasn't a huge fan of the boardroom drama, I did like how the fantasy elements were woven in. They came slowly at first, just little glimpses like mysterious messages delivered with dire consequences and did I mention the dragon? As the story picked up steam I did become more engaged though there were some jarring moments that I looked at the characters and thought, "What!?!" (SPOILER - Sierra being grabbed by the throat, slammed up against the wall and then slapped across the face by another employee. How does she let that happen without immediately telling everyone, 'Hey, this guy just assaulted me! Get security!')
All in all, though, it was a good read. Very different, very interesting. And the ending was great. It's a true ending, no real cliffhangers here, but it leaves a great set up for the next book to kick off immediate action.

4,0 su 5 stelle Entertaining read with an enjoyably fresh setting

Having enjoyed some quality Urban Fantasy works recently, I was immediately drawn to the premise of this book. A civilisation that's utilised abundant every sources to leapfrog an industrial revolution and wrap many modern trappings up with a more brutal and fantastical setting. It's unusual to see such an exciting attempt at different world building in a self-published novel.

And mostly it's pulled off. Towards the end some of the included technology takes a leap to believe would have been invented and perfected so soon, but generally speaking I found the merging of the technology and the corporate world that's been created around it believable.

The same with the main characters. The story is built around the head of the Bracken family and the coloration but ironically, I found the stories of his siblings much more interesting. To the point where I wish more had been made of them rather than certain aspects of their lives being skipped over.

The main issue I have with the story is the villains. There are some initial glimpses of originality in their backstories, but ultimately they descend into hackneyed stereotypes there simply to provide a protagonist against the 'heroes'. This doesn't spoil the story, but with the glimpses you get into the history of the nation it felt very much like an opportunity lost.

So, a tight and concise story, littered with original ideas that's well written (couldn't find any errors, which is again very unusual for a self-published book). At the price its an entertaining steal.

3,0 su 5 stelle Lots of promise, but falls short of satisfying.

As CEO of the world's most successful energy company, Lowell Bracken is at the top of his game and beginning to plan for his children to succeed him. But when a small upstart solar power company enters the scene, it triggers a series of political dominoes that will completely destabilize the power structures of the entire planet, and Lowell will be lucky to escape with his children - and his skin - intact.

This one is hard to pigeon hole. Part eco-drama. Part fantasy. Part political thriller. It's set on an alien planet, but with a tech level similar to our own. There is some kind of pseudo-magic, and dragons, but both are kept fairly low key in this first installment.

Despite these promising elements, this one didn't quite grab me. Lowell in particular seemed rather inconsistent. He's touted as a ruthless and ultra-savvy CEO who built his company up from ashes, against heroic obstacles. But when the chips were down, I never saw any of that heroic ferocity and competence in evidence. If anything, he comes across as a has-been who is now easily duped and slightly bewildered. It's one of those cases where the author describes the kind of character we all love to admire, but doesn't actually write him in a way that's consistent with the hype. And while some of the other characters do live up to their billing, they are so uni-dimensional that I wasn't able to bond emotionally with any of them.

Overall, I felt like this book took me to the brink of a really enjoyable ride, but left me standing there. It didn't quite have the horsepower to tip me over the edge and deliver.
