Treachery’s Tools

Imager Portfolio Series, Book 10

By: L. E. Modesitt Jr.

Narrated by: William Dufris

Alastar has settled into his role as the Maitre of the Collegium. Now married with a daughter, he would like nothing better than to focus his efforts on improving Imager Isle and making it more self-sufficient. However, the rise in fortune of the merchant classes in Solidar over the years does not sit well with the High Holders, who see the erosion of their long-enjoyed privileges. Bad harvests and worse weather spark acts of violence and murder. In the midst of the crisis, some High Holders call for repeals of the Codis Legis, taking authority away from the Rex.

Once again, Alastar must maintain a careful political balance, but he cannot avoid the involvement of the Collegium when someone begins killing students. Trying to protect his imagers and hold Solidar together for the good of all, Alastar stumbles on to a plot by the High Holders involving illegal weapons, insurrection, and conspiracy.

love the series

Another awesome book. I do wish I'd started reading the series at Quareyt's story as that seems to be the chronological beginning to the storyline and then gone back to the beginning.
I love the narrator, the only thing that bothered me in this second Alastair book is that the narrator changed the pronunciation of some of the characters names from the previous book. Most notable Alina and Kiron, I was binging and went straight from one audio book to the next and it really threw me, other than that I enjoyed it.

typical Modesitt...Excellent

typical modisett...excellent. nothing else tosay but this stupid audible interface requires fifteen words to submit

Getting a bit repetitive

I do like this author but lately it seems that many of his books are following the same basic formula.

Very Good

I love adventure stories and happy endings and I have enjoyed every book in this series

Extremely descriptive and riveting story.

As always, I loved the book, this author never fails to excite and entertain. I am greatly looking forward to the next book in the series.
