Kate’s 2¢: “The envoy” by Edward Wilson

“The envoy” by Edward  Wilson

Kate’s 2¢: There is a plethora of in-depth biographies of authors and reviews of their books, that state the title, author, published date, and genre; as well as,     describing what the book is about, setting, and character(s), so, Kate’s 2¢ merely shares my thoughts about what I read.  I’m just saying…

   I’ve experienced the voting fraud of paper ballots, tampered algo Rhythms of the electronic ballot machine, and the out-right lies of politicians  during the 2020 U.S. Presidential election, so I’m sure a lot of what happens in this story probably did. I recognize many of the names the author drops in his story, so it draws one into the fictional narrative.

   I don’t doubt that there is double cross and triple cris-cross of allegiances, just as the author did in his own life.

   Gregory Maupin did a good job of narrating this story for NLS.

From the web:

Edward Wilson is a British writer of spy fiction. A native of Baltimore, Maryland, United States, he immigrated to the United Kingdom after serving in the Vietnam War, renounced his US citizenship to naturalise in his new country, and after three decades as a teacher chose to quit to devote himself full-time to his career as a novelist. He has written seven novels, all published by Arcadia Books.

   Arcadia Books is, apparently, a self-publisher and in 2018, Arcadia was acquired by Lezen, a new company owned by Lili and Michael Lynton. In March 2019, Walter Isaacson became the editor-at-large and senior adviser for Arcadia Publishing, where he will be promoting books for the company as well as editing, new strategy development, and partnerships.
