A final voyage into mystery and adventure for the world's largest ship. A wonderful fantasy that combines the feel of Philip Pullman and the excitement of Scott Lynch.

A massive, centuries old, ship embarks on voyage and finds itself lost in a sea of deceit, murder and high-magic
Told with infectious joy and enthusiasm by an immensely talented new writer this is a landmark fantasy debut.

The Chathrand - The Great Ship, The Wind-Palace, His Supremacy's First Fancy - is the last of her kind - built 600 years ago she dwarves all the ships around her. The secrets of her construction are long lost. She was the pride of the Empire. The natural choice for the great diplomatic voyage to seal the peace with the last of the Emperor's last enemies.

700 souls boarded her. Her sadistic Captain Nilus Rose, the Emperor's Ambassador and Thasha, the daughter he plans to marry off to seal the treaty, a spy master and six assassins, one hunderd imperial marines, Pazel the tarboy gifted and cursed by his mother's spell and a small band of Ixchel. The Ixchel sneaked aboard and now hide below decks amongst the rats. Intent on their own mission.

But there is treachery afoot. Behind the plans for peace lies the shadow of war and the fear that a dead king might live again. And now the Chathrand, having survived countless battles and centuries of typhoons has gone missing. This is her story.

Robert Redick is in his thirties and works as the editor for the Spanish and French websites of Oxfam America and as an instructor in the International Development and Social Change program at Clark University. Born and raised in Charlottesville, Virginia, he lives in rural western Massachusetts. While his unpublished novel Conquistadors was a finalist for the 2002 AWP/Thomas Dunne Novel Award (under the title Wilderness) this is his first published work.

I enjoyed The Red Wolf Conspiracy. It's starts off "in progress" and you're wondering what's what: What's the Chathrand? Who's Pazel Pashkendle? Who's Thasha? What's Cpt. Rose's problem? But, as you read on, it become clearer and clearer. Redick's writing avoids the pitfalls that many authors fall into; there's no overly elaborate descriptions or tedious 20 page dialogues. Yet a world is created, mysteries arise, and one can't help going along for the trip. Surprisingly good!

Currently reading this, now the first 3 chapters or so were hard for me to read, but I adapted quickly to his writing style, and the world of te red wolf, but things get smoother, well developed characters, and the conspiracy so far is quite intriguing, what's going on , on the Great Ship, you'll be dying to now, each piece of the puzzle, falls neatly into place, if you liked The Lies of Locke Lamora by Scott Lynch Pick this up NOW....I'm Midway through, but that's all.
