Robson interview
“Imperial Assassin” is the title of a Mark Robson
novel due to be published in Autumn 2006. The Shandese Emperor declares the
Guild of Assassins to be outlaws. Yet it doesn’t take long for the Guild to
strike back hard. The Emperor decides that he needs someone to infiltrate the
secretive world of the Guild, and chooses a certain young legionnaire… But
their secrets have remained hidden for half a millennia, and the young
legionnaire finds that he may have to risk his soul as well as his life…
Authortrek reader Patrick Mahon writes that: “This
is the second in the 'Imperial' series, following on from 'Imperial Spy', which
came out in February. We follow the same characters - the female spy Femke,
young soldier Reynik, and their nemesis, the assassin Shalidar - as the
situation develops following Emperor Surabar's decision to outlaw the Guild of
Assassins. Somebody needs to infiltrate the Guild, in order to find out where
they are based, and who is in charge. Femke can't do it, as Shalidar knows who
she is. So Reynik, a soldier, not a spy, and still less an assassin, volunteers
for the job. Will he be able to deliver what the Emperor wants?
In 330
pages, Mark Robson produces more incidents and plot twists than some of us have
had hot dinners. This is a great read, which pulls you on from chapter to
chapter, and never lets go. I really enjoyed watching Reynik develop over the
story, and the cliffhanger at the end of the book left me desperate for Mark to
finish writing the series finale, 'Imperial Traitor', so I can find out what
happens next!
In
conclusion, this is a book I'd thoroughly recommend to anyone who is looking
for a fast-paced YA fantasy novel.”
Verdict: 9/10 - buy it!
