LIE

Noah Peterson, husband, ranger, animal rescuer, former spy, police advisor and occasional father to nine children, either the most unlucky or the luckiest of mortals, faces several more disasters in a lifetime of calamity. When his partner, Mike Archer, isn't setting up elaborate traps to kill him (but only apparently) he has children go missing, tribes adopting him, large lizards trying to eat him and an old friend with a grudge who wouldn't mind executing him. Will he survive? He isn't always sure he even wants to, but he has, as he keeps reminding himself, no right to die. He has too many responsibilities!The third volume in a captivating new series, lauded by readers as unique, thought-provoking and marvelous good fun, continues the saga of an ordinary man, with skills, sure enough, but often hapless, nonetheless, who finds it very hard to stay home and live peaceably, even when he wants to. Think Odysseus dragged off to numerous wars, not just one! In this continuation of the saga, the reader gets to see some of the other half of the continent, where the Empirie holds sway, the Jiabolin warriors dominate and the Prince feeds his appetites in a bleak and sordid city dedicated to power. You'll love it, even if you haven't read the others! This sci-fi fantasy is a stand-alone and will still enthrall you with the adventures of this well-meaning hero who hasn't always done the right thing. Read even a little bit and you are hooked!
