Congratulations to Brian John on managing to draw all my senses into one book!!! The last time I was obsessed with a compelling need to read a book from cover to cover was 20 years ago when I read the Poldark novels by Winston Graham. Long live Martha Morgan!! --Heather Giles
...........the second half of the book takes the reader on another colourful adventure, full of Dickensian ruffians, dark secrets and evil conspirators. --Pembrokeshire Life
As with the other books in the Saga, the tale is packed with a cast of colourful characters and the narrative gallops along at a good pace, making fanciful events seem ultimately believable. -- Becky Hotchin --Western Telegraph

Product Description
This is the sequel to the five novels of the Angel Mountain Saga, set at about the same time as the Jane Austen novels. Those who are familiar with the series will find some characters and settings that they know and love; but this story ranges far more widely, taking in episodes set in the industrial districts of Merthyr Tydfil, and in Paris. It is a story of an elderly lady who lives far more dangerously than is recommended for someone of her age. She has a dark secret to hide, and she is pursued relentlessly by a group of armed men. One day they will catch up with her............

It makes you want to walk on Angel mountain.

An Unexpected Edition
The arrival of this sixth instalment from Brian John certainly came as a surprise. I spent many happy hours reading the entire "Angel Mountain" saga; deriving much pleasure from an overall fantastic series of novels. As soon as this new instalment became available I knew that I had to give it a go, even if I was slightly averse to the idea of resurrecting the series. The ending of the previous book had certainly marked a suitable end to this story's intriguing heroine. So I started working my way through the text not really knowing what to expect; the book's title led me to expect a far different storyline to the one present in the book. It starts off original and interesting but things unfortunately start to turn a little bit deflated. The so-called implacable enemy described at the back of the book emerges as a rather feeble and banal character; nothing near as evil as any of her previous adversaries. This left me rather disappointed and meant that the pinnacle of the story was far more diluted than I had wished. That said, it was very nice to once again read of such a brilliant and original character as Mistress Martha Morgan; even if from a slightly different perspective. Brian John also demonstrates a very good way with words, creating an aura of authenticity regarding the alleged date of authorship. This book had a lot to follow in order to bring justice to its predecessors and I do feel that it falls slightly short of the mark in that regard. "If it ain't broke then don't try to fix it" is about the most suitable quote I can find to sum up what it is I am trying to say. A lukewarm edition to a fantastic series.

Another great, unputdownable read by Brain John. Old and new characters come to life in his thought provoking and clever sequel to the brilliant Angel Mountain stories.
