A Grand tale of conspiracy, intrigue, deception, love, with a twist. Fasinating . . . William Penn deftly evokes the contrast between politics and the inspiring landscape of the Rocky Mountains.
What page-turner and barnburner.

5 / 5
What "Into Thin Air" is to rock climbing, what "The Perfect Storm" is to sword fishing, "The Grand Conspiracy" is to Terrorism and High Country Eco-terrorism. In this fast paced thriller, I learned about; the American Revolution, Flying Planes, Mountain Survival Techniques, the Truth behind The Vietnam War and how the Florida Presidential Election was manipulated. All in one novel, whew!
Grand Reading from Two Conspirators
Rating:
5 / 5
The back cover and Chapter One encapsulate the storyline, and the final outcomes are clear and predictable. However, this is not a mystery novel, but a stunning and accurate tapestry of weaving history with current events. Much of the book deals with WHY the characters are behaving as they are, and that is the real story. The authors are outstanding in providing a clear view of little-known politics wherein the natural resources of a small population are exploited for the benefit of others. Their views on these subjects are clearly given, but without clouding the essential facts. The accuracy and level of detail in technical matters also reveals substantial research and experience in a wide range of subjects. The integration of a website to show full color illustrations that would otherwise increase the cost of the book is quite brilliant and may be the way of the future publications.Being a pilot intimately familiar with the Granby and Grand Lake area west of Denver I was delighted to find the region portrayed as an integral character itself in the plot. But I am wounded to find yet another public source of information describing our little piece of heaven on earth. Read the book, learn, but stay home.
