    Book Review

Reviewed by Olga Markova for Readers' Favorite

The Book of Aesop: The New World Order by Iam Oliver is an intriguing blend of political thriller with paranormal fiction, sci-fi, and romance. It is 2020 in England. Eric Pickles, a salesman for a toy company, is boarding a coach from London to Whitby, North Yorkshire, when a stunning young woman, Gabrielle Smith-Rawlings, takes the seat next to him. Gabrielle is an undercover MI6 agent who is following Eric on a secret mission for the British Government. But Eric is also much more than a salesman for a toy company. He is an MI6 undercover agent, in charge of a clandestine British government project in a state-of-the-art multi-billion-pound secret facility near Whitby. What are Eric’s and Gabrielle’s missions, and will they succeed?

Iam Oliver’s The New World Order is the first in The Book of Aesop series, and it was a roller-coaster read! The storyline kept me entertained with subterfuge, murder, mole hunting, and romance. I also loved the humor, especially the Whitby Musketeers and the primrose-scented onion seeds! But most of all, I liked the paranormal manifestations. The ending left me wanting more, especially on the MI6 mission front, and I look forward to reuniting with Eric in the sequels. I highly recommend this thriller to readers who enjoy unusual blends of genres. If you enjoy stories where secret missions packed with life-threatening perils interlace with erotic musings, this novel is for you. Graphic sex scenes make this story inappropriate for a younger audience.
