Hearts of Oak
Hearts of Oak | Eddie Robson
1 post | 1 read | 9 to read
Hearts of Oak is a delightful science fiction adventure from Eddie Robson, the creator of the acclaimed Welcome to Our Village, Please Invade Carefully. The buildings grow. And the city expands. And the people of the land are starting to behave abnormally. Or perhaps theyve always behaved that way, and its normality thats at fault. And the king of the land confers with his best friend, who happens to be his closest advisor, who also happens to be a talking cat. But thats all perfectly natural and not at all weird. Iona, close to retirement, finds that the world she has always known is nothing like she always believed it to be. There dark forces . . . not dark. There are uncanny forces . . . no, not uncanny. There are forces, anyway, mostly slightly odd ones, and they appear to be acting in mysterious ways. Its about town planning, its about cats and its about the nature of reality. At the Publisher's request, this title is being sold without Digital Rights Management Software (DRM) applied.

First of all - THIS COVER!!! 😍 Second, this book! Unfortunately it is almost impossible to say anything meaningful about the plot of this novella without spoilers, and spoiling anything about it takes away from the singular pleasure of reading & puzzling through it. I will say that it reminded me of a Ted Chiang story crossed with a pulp paperback from a bygone era. Lots to enjoy here, and both the big reveal and the ending are stunners.

Texreader I love this cover!! 3y
