Our Own Correspondent | comment |
Our Own Correspondent is a 2021 fantasy novel by James Hereward.Erasmus Grey is a newspaper reporter from the city-state of Carentum, who has travelled to the kingdom of Larence to report on rumours of an upcoming war. The problem is, most people in Larence don't know what a "newspaper" or a "reporter" is, and many seem to think that a foreigner who snoops around asking tricky questions about politics and troop movements is probably a spy. Grey quickly gets himself into trouble with the locals in a small town not far from the expected front line, and that's really only the beginning of his problems.In the course of his involuntary adventures back and forth across Larence, Grey is forced to deal with a gang of smugglers, an alleged barbarian queen and a rebellion by a downtrodden minority group, on top of trying to uncover the politics behind the upcoming war. He finds himself accompanied by Pavel Lebedev, a travelling priest, and by a mysterious woman called Lina, who is remarkably good at killing people. | |

False Flag Operation: Larence's leaders say their borders were attacked without provocation by warriors from Rhoanda's tribe, while Rhoanda insists the Larentine army attacked her first. They're both wrong; Morhaal's Ducal Regiment attacked both sides in disguise. | |

Standard Fantasy Setting | |
Our Own Correspondent / int_c2c9748c | comment |
Standard Fantasy Setting: Largely averted. Magic exists, but technology goes well beyond medieval or even renaissance levels; there are automatic guns and a large-scale canal network. There are no elves, dwarves or orcs, at least by name, and the races that are referred to seem to be mostly considered "human" (apart maybe from the Tremani, who aren't quite sure themselves what they should be classified as). | |
