The Guild Saga #3
Return of the Crimson Witch
The Bashtier call Wonk space, Eerindark—The Place of the Dead—and Thad Cochran, the only pilot to go there and live, will soon find out why. The sacrifice of Benjamin Bale brings Thad back from the dead. But is he truly free from the death grip of the Wonks?
A body is discovered behind an apartment wall in a small town on the planet Daggon. With the mystery thrust upon him, Admiral Geoff Grangore must pursue a dangerous quest for the truth—is it somehow connected to The Wonk Decelerator?
Dreams and visions are dancing in the heads of the yazz. Something bad is coming to the frontier—a hidden enemy only the Guild traitor, Alexander Hamilton Patho, knows.
Patho sends an assassin to Daggon, and his conniving gaze is on the M-3 Wonk vessel. It seems civil war is imminent and those who control the power of Wonk travel will rule the known galaxy. Therefore, it must not fall into Patho’s hands.
It is time for war and time for Maggie Thorn to learn the truth about who she really is. It is also time for the Return of the Crimson Witch.

About the author
John Joseph Doody
4 books31 followersJohn Doody, Bio
I got the writing bug when I was eighteen and out at sea. I wrote a poem or two and some of the guys on the ship liked them. After I left the navy, I wrote poetry regularly. While on a bus ride from Texas to Florida, I roughed out an idea for a novel. It was way harder than I thought it would be, but I stuck with it and through the years learned the craft and the business. I took time off from writing and when I returned to it in 2009 I was older and more focused and I took some of my original ideas and forged the Guild books from them. I'm currently on hiatus from those books and instead have been working on a brand new idea that blends horror and science fiction. I call the book, The Dark, and I can't wait for you to meet Nero Keats. Won't be long now!

A good read with good characters. Little slow in places but I managed to read it. So only 3*. Netgalley and E treasure publishing.

Return of the Crimson Witch is an entertaining and often humorous sci fi story, continuing the guild saga. Now a mysterious death is tied to one of the most important pieces of technology, the M-3, and a seemingly impending civil war threatens the galaxy. The plot itself moves quickly and holds your imagination, and the great cast of characters create a lively and oftentimes fun atmosphere. I loved Thad’s charm and ability, and really liked his character’s story throughout especially his relationship with Maggie Thorn. I think that Doody writes his characters very well, bringing so much life to this already entertaining story.

There is absolutely no reason reading the first 2 books is a must to fully enjoy this great science fiction story. This book has a little bit of everything: unknown enemies, thrill, love, double-crossing, just to name a few. I don’t particularly care for Science Fiction, but this was well worth my time. The story itself is fast paced, so I was never bored. The author does a tremendous job of really bringing these (sometimes humorous) characters to life! Good read!
