In other news, the Daily Beast has named the book a “Hot Read<\/a>” for the week. Thank you Daily Beast! <\/p>\n

There’s also a really generous review up at Bookotron<\/a>\u2014they call the book “gripping and intense.” A bit more: <\/p>\n

“Lamster takes the reader on a journey through secret treaties, gorgeous art and secret negotiations conducted by the artist. It’s an incredibly involving portrait of a man as complicated as the world around him, a man who helped crate that complicated world. Inner and outer beauties collide. Lamster’s a fine writer who knows how to take the reader through history that we think we understand, only to offer a very fresh perspective. The prose is transparent, the better to see the people, the places and the events portrayed. Nan A. Talese has included a generous number of color plates in the book to compliment the excellent story. Here’s a proto-steampunk thriller about a real artist who happened to be a spy and a diplomat, in a lovely package. Reality seems to overtake fantasy with an ease that is often nearly as breathtaking as the work of Rubens.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
