The perils of time travel have never been so vivid or fraught with consequences. Even the nicest gods have a limited amount of patience with humans infringing in their domain and the other kind can be downright nasty. Find a safe place to cuddle up and read this fascinating and frightening adventure. I might even suggest a cup of hot tea to complete the experience- with or without brandy.</span> Rick Ludwig author of <em>Eyes of the Beholder</em></p><p><span style=color: rgba(34 34 34 1)> </span></p><p><span style=color: rgba(34 34 34 1)></span><em style=color: rgba(34 34 34 1)>The Pirate's Curse</em><span style=color: rgba(34 34 34 1)> is a thoroughly enjoyable addition to the Veritas Code series. I have enjoyed reading each book in the series and the author does a wonderful job of building on previous stories without the repetitive retelling of the series' story arcs. Lauren and Rowan Pierce's family continues to grow and with it each member plays a part in their next adventure. And if you like pirate stories this is a nice one with plenty of twists and turns plus the protagonists must take significant risks to come back together as a family-great story a great author and highly recommended. I'm looking forward to the next. Mark Edward Jones author of </span><em style=color: rgba(34 34 34 1)>Peculiar Activities and Shadowed Souls</em></p>
