by E.M. Swift-Hook (Author) Format: Kindle Edition
4.6 out of 5 stars 3 ratings
There are some things worth fighting for, even if you think you won't win. There are some people worth trying to save, even from themselves - and even if they fight you every scrap of the way.

Loralea Lastas is a woman on a mission.
She is determined to find the man who walked out on her, whatever it takes and despite the fact she knows he doesn’t want to be found. Thrust into his perilous world, Loralea has to learn how to survive both his dangerous enemies and his more dangerous friends, knowing that even if she finds him she might not be able to save him from himself.

Not To Be is the penultimate volume in Fortune's Fools. The second volume in the last trilogy, Iconoclast, it raises the stakes for the hunters and the hunted.

In the words that Robert Heinlein put so evocatively into the mouth of Lazarus Long: 'Writing is not necessarily something to be ashamed of, but do it in private and wash your hands afterwards.' Having tried a number of different careers, before settling in the North-East of England with family, three dogs, cats and a small flock of rescued chickens, I now spend a lot of time in private and have very clean hands.

If you enjoy my books, please let me know by leaving a review, it encourages me to keep writing!

    5.0 out of 5 stars Great Action, Amazing Characters
    Reviewed in the United States on February 29, 2020

    Yet another amazing chapter in the Fortune’s Fools series. Kahina Sarava and the Coalition forces amp up their pursuit of Jaz and Durban. Kahina devises another plot and with the guidance of her Future Data project believes she is infallible, though it seems to me that she may be losing her grip on reality. Her goal is to capture Durban at all costs, though it’s still unclear how she intends to use him. While Durban finally explains a portion his end game to Avilon, it’s obvious he is still holding back. So many twists to the story that it’s difficult to imagine Swift-Hook will conclude the series with just one more installment.
    The world-building is rich with detail. The imagery and descriptions are stunningly clear. It isn’t just the main worlds of Central, Thuringen, and Temsevar, but even the small seemingly insignificant worlds are complex, teeming with life. All are unique in design with some lacking sufficient oxygen to breath and others too much or too little gravity. The detailing is well thought out and exquisitely portrayed. I loved every step taken. With this story nearly finished, I’m both excited to learn the outcome but dreading leaving these worlds behind. With so many lands yet to explore the stories could be endless. Great world, fantastic characters, and highly recommended!

    4.0 out of 5 stars Four Stars ONLY Because of the Cliffhanger!

    Could not put this penultimate book down.

    Disparate threads are being woven together gently, yet sometimes with a savagery to the traveler, caught up in a current of unknown destination.

    Looking forward to, yet dreading, the conclusion of this journey.

    Well-played, Author Swifthook, well-played!
