The Pact is a series of 8 novella's by Christian Marshall.
The story centers around a group of very different people who are recruited into an espionage ring. Each recruit has a skill, knowledge, or connection to "The Syndicate," an international criminal organization.
The novella's are very well written. Characters have distinct voices, flaws, and objectives. The tension builds nicely. The conflict also builds well. It's en engaging read. As I was editing the manuscripts, I would get anxious for the next novella to arrive in my inbox. I couldn't wait to see the next piece of the puzzle.
The Pact is something I wouldn't have picked for myself to read but I'm so glad I had the opportunity to read it. I do recommend this to others, without hesitation.
Not all things are perfect though. Despite my enjoyment, I would have preferred to have this story in one novel instead of eight episodes. That is just my personal preference. I do not think one novel would have improved the story. It just would have meant I didn't have to wait for the next 80 pages.
The Pact is available through a number of ebook retailers.
