The Adventures of Chadwick Yates #2
Chadwick Yates and the Forest Labyrinth
“I would ask that you, whose crafts of warfare are renowned, enter the forest labyrinth, find this minotaur, and destroy it.”
A Majikal Maze.
A harrowing journey by river raft brings Yates and Sharp into a Faerie country, but they find it in crisis. A Faerie master enchanter reveals the existence of a hidden maze in the jungle that leads to the source of all majik. A Servant of Maraa now walks the forest labyrinth. The enchanter promises Yates a charmed weapon of incalculable value if the pair will destroy the brutal Servant — and learn how it came to be there. At the same time, Sharp finds a way to reveal Yates’ true plans, and for once, the ambassador cannot lie his way out of trouble.
About the Series
“Yates shouldered his shotgun and poured cartridge after cartridge of triple-aught shot into the minotaur. The monster howled and turned to face him, ruby eyes alight like coals.”
Monsters and elephant guns face off as Ambassador Chadwick Yates and Navy Commander Thurston Sharp explore the Forbidden Continent of Tanzia. The pair must adapt to the curious cultures of Gremlins, Faeries, Anurans, and others to make allies, and fight off the evil creatures that serve an ancient sorcerer.
The Adventures of Chadwick Yates is for readers who love action in exotic locales. The series blends the Lost World literary genre of Indiana Jones and King Solomon's Mines with the magic and monsters of epic fantasy.
Featuring real 19th century gadgets and a gorgeously-realized world, the series was inspired by such works as Allan Quatermain, Sherlock Holmes, Journey to the Center of the Earth, Heart of Darkness, The Most Dangerous Game, and The Lost World.

Another fun read in this series, where we get to witness the Faerie tribes on the dark continent of Tanzia. Delving further into the story with these fun characters and learning more about the world that they inhabit, is a great deal of fun. This time we find them living among faeries and being commissioned to step into a great labyrinth where the heart of all majik lies to best a minotaur. The creature, a servant of Maraa, is not your Greek variety but is a massive creature built by dark majik to destroy the good peoples of the land.

Lots of Fun
This was fun. How often do you get the chance to join in a safari to a foreign land with fairies, giant beasts, and other storybook characters accompanied by Indiana Jones? Well, here's your chance. I think you will enjoy the adventure.

This second book in the series continues the adventure of Chadwick's stenographer skills to document the Dark Continent. But it holds its own as a stand alone tale.
I loved this time frame, world building, and the developing characters. The items and mysticism encounters with the mythical creatures and habitants were unique and awe inspiring.
A wonderful series written with a showing expertise, a throwback to times when books pulled you in and tickled your brain.
It's perfectly flawless!
