The Emissary by Michael J. Edwards, Michael J. Edwards

5.0

Oh dear me, I so wanted to like this book, some good reviews, the blurb caught my eye. I wasn’t sure whether this type of novel was my cup of tea. But boy was I glad I read it, so refreshing to read a good book, well written, intriguing plot line, strong believable characters. An entertaining, engrossing, compelling and pleasurable read, couldn’t put down, 424 pages, puff gone just like that.

I thoroughly enjoyed it. A deep dive into the human psyche, and how utterly unprepared we are to work together as one entity. Depressing in a way, how splintered and tribal we are as a species. Unwilling and unable to work together for a common good, but there again it shouldn’t come as a shock, the writing was so believable and insightful, it left me feeling disheartened and disappointed.

I’m also disappointed that I can only find two books by this author. I will definitely read the other book ASAP. I have no qualms in giving this book five stars.
