E.M. Swift-Hook’s TRUST A FEW is simply excellent writing.If you love science fiction with complex plotting, note-perfect world-building, and characters who are as flawed and complicated as everyone you meet in real life, then you must read this book.
Every single character has a well-developed backstory (that is never belabored) and place in the convoluted machinations of a universe that is full of the same inequities of our world today, writ larger. While the characters struggle to balance their personal integrity against the demands of situations that challenge and insult those values, you really feel their dilemmas. How does one honor an old friend when they no longer know who they are? Who is a hero, and who is a terrorist or outlaw? How does one deal with a past one cannot recall? When does one have to stop thinking a person is a friend and decide they are an enemy—and vice versa?
This is a continuation of Swift-Hook’s FORTUNE’S FOOLS series, but in no way do you need to read the previous books to be almost instantly immersed in the main action of TRUST A FEW. Do yourself a favor and start reading this immediately!

Trust A Few Haruspex Trilogy Part One Fortune Fools Book 4 eBook EM SwiftHook Reviews
Some great characters from the previous series, The Transgressor Trilogy, along with plenty of new faces make for an engaging storyline. Avilon Revid has been serving a sentence in the Specials. A dangerous punishment where few survive, but the rules state, after a five year stint he is eligible for parole and through some outside manipulation his parole is approved. He sets out trying to locate the man he served under, Jazatar Baldrik. Jaz is his only person who he remembers having helped him at all because he remembers nothing of his life prior to imprisonment. Though he doesn’t find Jaz, he receives a clue to his whereabouts – Shame Cullen. Here’s a name that was slightly familiar from the previous trilogy and I must admit to being drawn into the mystique of this crime syndicate boss(es). There is also another group that is manipulating events from afar and we learn bits and pieces throughout the book. The surprising part of it all was that it didn’t seem to involve Durban Chola at all. In fact, Durban seems to be taking the high road through the ‘City, helping people and promoting justice.
To Trust a Few, is downright dangerous in Swift-Hook’s world where trust will more than likely lead to betrayal, thus it is at a premium. There really isn’t too much trust found anywhere especially between our three leading men, Avilon, Jaz, and Durban. It seems more likely they’ll end up killing each other. Another strong character is Charity Sweetling, Charis. I’ve a feeling there is much more to learn about her back story but she is thrown into the ring amongst the men. A couple of brutal thugs, Foss and Faust Fingal are also introduced. Faust is totally creepy in a deeply psychotic sort of way but Foss is still somewhat of an unknown. I really hope we get more of their backstory along the way. I have also learned a new favorite word, ‘yarp,’ Joss uses the term often and it seems to pop into my head now and then.
This whole fantastic world that E.M. Swift-Hook has created is so amazing, rich is history and detail. Even the backstories could go on forever. Awesome characters that won’t leave you alone even after you put the book down. The story remains with you long after the reading is finished. Highly Recommended.
I found Trust a Few to be the most standstill book in the first four books so far in the “trilogy’s trilogy” (nine books) by this author. This time, it is in a futuristic “Mafia” crime-ridden city, and the main plot of the book appears to be political machinations of a crime syndicate to keep key players in power or to avoid downfall by murder. I felt myself plodding along in this book now that I was without the exotic locations or the geopolitics between countries in the first trilogy.
As well, it was a little hard to appreciate what the three main characters, all men, had in bonding to one another. The loyalty and friendship seemed to be from past history thus making me wonder why they wanted to continue to be emotionally invested into one another. Surely there are better places to aspire. Why stay in a crime-ridden metropolis? In the first trilogy, at least all the three main characters were on a primitive planet with very limited access to faster-than-light speed. Here, they can leave anytime. As well, I sometimes found the plot hard to follow, not being able to figure out what the overall story is or what had been accomplished hundreds of pages later other than the enjoyment of seeing familiar characters back together one more time. If I had to sum up this book to a friend, I probably would struggle.
I always liked Durban Chola, and he seems like the only reasonable man here, and I liked the new character Charity Sweetling. Although it seemed a bit at times that her initial cast-off into stateless person was a bit forced, and she seemed to be along for the ride.
E.M. Swift-Hook has done it again.
I loved the Transgressor Trilogy, so I was very excited to read this first book in the continuing saga of Fortune's Fools. It did not disappoint me. The characters are well written, full of very human flaws, and sometimes not very nice, but they are real to me. Jazatar Baldrik is a dark man both in looks and in spirit, but he has his own code of honor. He is loyal to his friends, even when they don't deserve it. Avilon is broken, even more so now than in the previous trilogy. His only hope is in his friends, but will he let them help him?
This book is complex, with a lot woven into the story and the world that supports it. E.M. Swift-Hook delves into the dark underbelly of the struggle between government control and the fight for freedom. It reminded me of the movie Serenity. The government has the general populace believing they are safe and well cared for, but the steps the Coalition must take to keep up that façade are less than beneficial to anyone outside of the mainstream.
I highly recommend Trust A Few and after you read it, go get the Transgressor Trilogy. It will be worth it.
