– Readers’ Favorite
It’s 2020 and our protagonist, a Mr Eric Pickles, has embarked on a coach journey when he meets the beautiful Gabrielle Smith-Rawlings. They sit together for the duration, getting acquainted, and he invites her to the house in the seaside town of Whitby in North Yorkshire where he’s staying, owned by Edith Crumble, the kind lady of the house and a dear friend of Eric’s.
Was it merely a coincidence that this beautiful young lady was on the same coach as our hero? Eric is an unassuming toy salesman, and Gabrielle works in Export and Innovations for the Department of International Trade in London. But do they, really? The readers later learn that, unbeknownst to each other, they both work for MI6 at their headquarters at Vauxhall Cross on the banks of the river Thames, and both are involved in secret programmes for the UK government.
There are several characters who all intertwine with Eric and Gabby, including Primrose Allgood, another resident of Edith’s house; Rupert Horatio Sniffles (Nighthawk), second in command to Eric (Hawk); Evelyn Trousseau (Gymslip), third in command under Rupert; Edgar Fairbanks (Eagle Eye), the head of the organization and Eric’s boss; Sir Robert Embury Jones (Fencer), Gabrielle’s boss; and many others with personal, romantic and business ties to our protagonist and his lady.
This exciting thriller contains a vicious attack on a lead character by an assassin who sacrifices her own life, the murder of a beloved character, several romances and ones in the making and plot twists that will have your head spinning.
Nothing is as it seems, as the story will take the readers on a rollercoaster of twists and turns involving several identities, nefarious plot lines and hidden dangers. It’s a book of romantic fantasy laced with espionage and mystery.
“Eric, you are a very successful toy salesman and a most valued agent of MI6 with the destiny of planet Earth in your hands wearing your clothes with my mind and gifted with an intelligence that is way beyond your wildest dreams! What you must understand, Eric, is that the Ispirian people have searched every planet in every universe in the Milky Way and beyond for tens of thousands of years searching for you, the chosen one, Aesop.”

– Readers’ Favorite
Book-2 in The Book of Aesop 4-book series begins where Book-1 left off, with our hero, Eric Pickles, surrounded by his kidnappers. What ensues is an exciting game of cat and mouse involving the Russian FSB, the Chinese PLA and our three protagonists with a mission to create The New World Order.
Serving as a backdrop to all the espionage is Ivy Gardens, the guest house owned by Edith Crumble and her three temptresses, trying to work their magic on Eric, who fights to stay loyal to his true love, Gabrielle. Read on to find out why new identities need to be created and new headquarters formed to protect our three heroes.
“The tragic loss of life – “the better of two evils” – following the teachings of the Ispirian nation. It wasn’t that playing on his mind. No, his long-term plans would have far greater consequences, and his role here on Earth was to prevent its own destruction, balancing life and death against each other.
AVAILABLE NOW IN PAPERBACK, HARDBACK AND EBOOK
