Book Review by Bob Walch
It is the
Jazz Age of the 1920s and Toby Keats may well be the only American
working in Paris who doesn’t know Hemingway. No matter, though.
Toby relishes his quiet life after serving in the Great War. But
unfortunately this calm existence is about to change radically when
he discovers an automaton dubbed Vaucanson’s Duck.
Containing
a small gyroscope that a number of people are interested in because
it could be the key element in creating unmanned rockets, Toby’s
new plaything becomes the center of a nasty struggle to see which
group of “baddies”
can capture it.
From
the Left Bank to the prehistoric caves of southern France, the chase
is on and the winners will possess technology that will tilt the next
European conflict in their favor.
Rich
in historical detail, The Paris Deadline is a fun read and a
nice diversion from more traditional suspense novels.
