Publisher's Summary:

Paul Wood and his girlfriend, Talena, were just tourists in Sarajevo, a city still reeling from the aftermath of civil war. But an unexpected encounter makes them a desperate woman's only hope of escape. Now, to get her to safety, they must navigate through the minefield of warlords, criminals, and peacekeepers that is postwar Bosnia.

Pursued by brutal gangsters and unable to leave the country legally, Paul agrees to do a job for a shadowy group of people smugglers - in exchange for safe passage. The smugglers seem friendly. The job seems harmless. But when he discovers the secrets seething beneath, the repercussions will propel him on a perilous journey around the world - from a warlord's compound in lawless Albania, through the jungles of Latin America, and toward an explosive confrontation at the extraordinary Burning Man festival in the Nevada desert.

Editorial Reviews:

Don't turn on Blood Prince unless you are prepared to be addicted. Scenes happen fast, in places as diverse as postwar Bosnia and Burning Man, and it is the author's fidelity to history and place that give the fictional narrative of the story credibility and excitement. Eric Martin's expertly dark narration lends an intensity to the tone of the audiobook, which does not skimp on intrigue - smugglers, gangsters, and criminals of all kinds show up in every corner of the world. This is a modern crime drama with a good splash of romance, suitable for veteran and new recruits to the genre.

Thriller, Travelogue and History All in One Suspenseful book

Iâm an avid reader and Iâm pretty picky about what I read, so itâs always a delight for me to find an author whose books I really enjoy. Jon Evans has made it onto my shortlist of authors to watch.

This is the second book that Iâve read of Mr. Evansâ. Like the first one I read, The Night of Knives, this one is part history, part travelogue and part thriller. Unlike many other authors, Evans seems to be able to put it all together in an engaging and complex plot. This book takes place in post-war Bosnia, Albania, Belize and the US, culminating in a suspenseful conclusion at the Burning Man festival in Nevada. While being thoroughly entertained in the thriller part of the book, I was also transported to each exotic location, getting a real insiderâs look at what that country is like and the events that transpired to make it that way.

The book does meander a bit, starting from a domestic violence scenario and ending with human and drug trafficking. In this way, itâs almost like reading two books in one, and because that was a little disorienting, I'd deduct half a star - but it's still an excellent read. I do like the way the author breathes life into his characters. Dialogue is realistic, the various action scenes are, for the most part, plausible, and the sense of place is incredible.

I recommend this book if you enjoy thrillers that take in exotic locations, mild-mannered computer programmer heroes and almost-sympathetic villains. Itâs a good book and worth checking out.
