Hedley Bellman, a young English sub-lieutenant from a respectable family, is in love with Pope’s wife — a secret that could ruin them both.

Our thrilled readers:
“I like it! Short chapters, quick scene changes and themes taken from today’s news make a lot of things easy to understand. The detailed descriptions of locations alternate with a bird’s-eye view, and the authors manage to make every chapter compact and exciting. With the last sentence, it’s clear that marketing experts know how to write – when is Volume 2 coming out?”
“Exhilarating, great writing! A nice mixture of Dan Brown, James Bond, Jason Bourne, and a little Viennese humor thrown in for good measure. Solid research on the locations and surprising plot twists. All in all, a successful debut, definitely worth reading. Looking forward to the second installment!”

The writing style is short and concise, no convoluted sentences – I like it! Normally I’m not interested in world religions or their history, but with Tom Wagner I was happy to be on board! In short: I’m going to be a repeat offender. ;)”
“I’m a huge Dan Brown fan, and I was a little skeptical at the beginning – but Tom Wagner won me over after just a few pages! Great book, looking forward to more!”
