The Gentlemen's Conspiracy ~ by Nick Daniels

I’ve just finished reading The Gentlemen’s Conspiracy, the first novel by Nick Daniels. The story was quite thrilling overall. However, I personally had a hard time following it in the beginning and had difficulty in keeping straight the numerous characters (English & French, noblemen, commoners, clergy, and intellectuals) and the present-time/flashback jumping. By the middle of the book, I finally had a grasp on it all and found that it really was good with a gripping plot and controversial mystery.

It is dramatic, and expertly exposes the lie of a widely accepted belief system. The ending was powerful, with the last line being positively explosive! Others may or may not have the same difficulty in following in the beginning, but I can say for sure that this book is definitely not brain-candy. It will require thought and even possibly an examination of personal beliefs. It is fascinating!
