  Strictly Professional Relationships by RS Thomas ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ Content warning novel: Contains scenes of sexual assault and one scene of graphic violence.  Contains language and situations inappropriate for those under 18 years of age. Content warning review: Contains mention of LBGTQ and sexual tendencies. *** This is RS Thomas’ first book. He describes himself as an author who tries to be different.

He has gathered a very intriguing group of characters, and placed them in an extremely unique story.  It is slightly reminiscent of the Shadowhunters and Lord of The Rings series.

If you are interested in conspiracy theory and European history, then I definitely recommend this book. William Ward is the 21st century heir to a great fortune he can only receive by discovering the truth about history, and surviving the disinherited heirs trying to prevent hi...

  Craig Herdern is a British novelist. He is the author of the MDS book series. Featuring Palimpsest as his first novel. ª "Palimpsest", Book One of the MDS series , is an intriguing opening to the world of multiple dimensions. There are a lot of characters to straighten out at first, but the story grabs you with both hands and won’t let go. The characters really come to life. Detective Winters reminds me of Agatha Christie’s detective Hercule Poirot, he is very detail oriented and catches evidence that others may miss. We follow Lucinda (Lu), as she discovers the truths that have been hidden about her family and her past. While in university, Lu takes part in a drug trial that has semi-adverse effects. These side affects allow her to enter a Salvador Dali type dimension. Along the course of the story we meet a few historical villains, like Jack the Ripper. Craig Herdern has a unique take on each despised historical figure we meet. This story has elements of String Theor...
