Agent of Artifice
Agent of Artifice | S. Evan Townsend
1 post | 1 read | 7 to read
They live among us. We know they are there. No government can control them; no authority can stop them. Some are evil. Some are good. All are powerful. They inhabit our myths and fairy tales. But what if they were real, the witches, wizards, and fairy godmothers? What if they were called "adepts" and were organized into guilds for mutual protection and benefit? And what if they started mucking around with the affairs of "lessers" (that is, those humans not able to match their powers)? During the height of the Cold War, Michael Vaughan is a rogue without a guild. He survives by working for the CIA as NOC (Non-Official Cover). Shortly after the funeral of President Joe Kennedy, Jr., he is sent to Cuba to assassinate Castro. There he finds himself in a cat-and-mouse game with adepts working for Fidel. Radioactive Communist Zombies combines the supernatural genre popularized by such works as the Harry Potter books with the classic spy yarn. It follows Vaughan from his playboy days in Havana to a violent confrontation with Che Guevara and the defeat of the adept who banished Vaughan from his guild.

I wasn't sure what to expect, but after reading the first 2 chapters, I was hooked. I was transported into an alternate universe where people with paranormal powers coexist with regular people. A place where the history is very similar to our own. The story takes place from 1958 to 1963 and deals with Castro's rise to power in Cuba. The use of magic in the book was worked in seamlessly and believably. This book was a pleasure to read.
