Description
*UPDATE: 26/08 - the full novel is now available to download
The second in the Mythmaker series.
Virgin’s in a tight spot. A murder rap hangs over her head and isn’t likely to go away unless she agrees to work for an organisation called GJIC (the Global Joint Intelligence Commission).
Being blackmailed is one thing, discovering that her mother is both alive and the President of GJIC is quite another. Then there’s the escalation of Mythos sightings and the bounty on her head.
Oddly, Hamish is the only one she can rely on. Life is complicated.
Advance Praise
“This is the first novel by Marianne de Pierres I’ve read, and I hope to read more about Virgin Jackson and (perhaps) Nate Sixkiller. A fun romp that is much more than the parts which comprise it.”
– Tor.Com”
“Move over stale f/sf themes; enter: Peacemaker, a wholly original and thrilling fantasy adventure.”
– Looking for a Good Book
“Peacemaker rollicks along at a cracking pace, and I found myself holding my breath in anticipation at times, which is always a good sign! I got to the end of the book and flipped the last page in disappointment, because while the story ended well (albeit definitely set up for the next volume), I simply didn’t want it to stop. Bring on the next instalment!”
– Fablecroft
“Tired of the same old thing when it comes to urban fantasy? Look no further than Virgin Jackson.”
– My Bookish Ways
“I liked a lot about this book. There were plenty of twists, turns, and double crosses…Peacemaker is a good sf mystery for people looking for something a little different. Four stars.”
– Dangerous Dan
“The beautiful thing about Peacemaker is the mystical. Virgin quickly realizes that her world is not what it seems and de Pierres navigates this storyline well. My favorite elements were that of a spirit guide and the facets of many cultures are woven into an investigation. As a nice parallel to the magic element, de Pierres has a strong political subplot. We are able to see the world shaped as anyone who believes in something out of the norm is placed at the fringes of society. De Pierres not only shows us the state of the world she writes in but also what the fictional movers and shakers wanted it to be and where they still want it to go.”
– Literary Escapism
“Peacemaker is definitely a cut above the standard for books of this type: intelligent, witty and with a good heart. If you’re looking for a fast read that surprises and engages, then look no further.”
– The Newtown Review of Books
