Plot Summary
Jocasta Pantile needs a case to keep the bailiffs from the door. Stanislav Duff needs someone to find his prize spells. They make the ideal client and enquiry agent, especially with Jocasta's prize asset, the genetically-engineered Spellhound.
The trouble is that when she finds them, Duff intends to kill the thief and his accomplices. Jocasta doesn't much like his plan, but knows that if she doesn't find them, Duff may kill her instead.
If he doesn't kill her anyway; she knows too much about him for her own good.
Neither of them realize just how far Duff's desire for Vengeance will take them....

Vengeance is a very smart novel. Harvey doesn't take his reader gently by the hand. Instead he shoves them directly into a sprawling world, one brimming with contrasting landscapes and curious characters. There's everything a reader could want; magic-wielding beasts, high science, time travel, political intrigue, surprising twists, and even a few all out brawls. I highly recommend this story to fans of both fantasy and science fiction who are tired of having simplistic plots spoon fed to them. If you are seeking a wholly original story written by a fresh and talented voice, then this is the book for you.
