The Traveler in Black and White

From the Publisher:

A strange tunnel appears in the wall of Castle Hattan. Of course it must be investigated. What lies at the other end is a strangely backward land where things are not quite as they seem. Lord Mariusz adopts the pseudonym Hugo to explore the business opportunities he sees, only to be accused of murder; witness a vampire slaying; rub shoulders with ghouls, and have a close encounter with a werewolf.

The fourth book in the Princelings series sees us back with Hugo—also known as Lord Mariusz—the cause of all the trouble in Book 1. In typical Hugo manner he narrates The Traveler in Black and White in a film noir style. He explains how he came to master the art of time travel and why he has been the easiest person to blame for all the assassinations, supernatural phenomena, and industrial espionage he has seen on his adventures.

The Traveler in Black and White is a fantasy mystery for ages 10 to 110.
Since Hugo (or Lord Mariusz) comes from Hattan, the book is written in US English. This adventure sees the Princelings world from Hugo's perspective as he meets younger versions of Victor, Prince Lupin of Buckmore and others for the first time. It will be enjoyed by fans of the trilogy as well as new readers.

"it's been a while since I've read anything by Anne McCaffrey or J.R.R. Tolkien, and Pett's writing is a welcomed reminder of how that style of writing can really add to a good plot-line. I have to say that I was impressed with the novel" Megan
