Conspiracy picks up right off from where the last one left off: preparing to rescue/kidnap the emperor. Of course it will be extremely dangerous and tricky, but the team has Amaranthe to cook up some crazy plans (as usual). In addition to the usual crew, there's one more addition for their latest adventure. This time we hear the story from Akstyr's point of view (and Amaranthe of course), and get some more information about his past. The next book is going to be Maldynado's point of view. I'm hoping the last one will be from Sicarius' perspective (that would be SO incredibly interesting).
Something I need to say upon reflection of this book: Lindsay Buroker certainly has knack for tossing in ridiculous things without making them seem totally unbelievable (remember the kracken? This time it's more extreme). Perhaps it has something to do with Amaranthe's incredulous reactions to these bits... anyways, as per usual, this book keeps up the quality of the previous books. It just came out recently though so you're going to have to wait a little while for the next one. Oh, and unfortunately this one ends with a cliffhanger. An EXTREME cliffhanger. So, if that's going to absolutely kill you I'd say to wait a while before reading this one (of course I would never be able to follow that advice so it's totally up to you).
I also discovered that the first book (I'm not sure if the others are going to be done as well) is coming out chapter by chapter as a free audio recording. You can listen to it here.
