Come with me to Spyglass House, built on a fault line where time and space meet at the intersection of all dimensions, where alternate worlds beckon through each side door, and where the exotic seems common place. But hang onto your club key. You'll not get back home without it.
All this Rex Barney finds out when through the disbursement of a will, he receives a key shaped like a telescope. He is not impressed. He'd rather have money. But then he finds the key is his entry into the private club of Spyglass House, and becomes impressed when stumbles out a side door into 19th century Indjia, a land of snake charmers and elephants, steam engines and sailing ships. He falls in with two genteel ladies who promise him sweetmeats, card tricks, and other entertainment if he will accompany them on the train to Norpur and join in an endeavor to steal a stash of royal jewels--rubies, diamonds, emeralds the size of a thumbnail--worth enough to escape steamy clutches of Beybom, and live large in Londoon and Pariie.
It all sounds like great fun, until Rex is shanghaied aboard a tall ship, runs into pirates seeking to separate head from body, treks through mangrove swamps infested with snakes and mosquitoes, faces jungle people who are out looking for stew meat, and eats stirred-fried beetles which might taste a little bit like chicken, but a whole lot like puke. All this before he gets caught in the crossfire over who should be the next Maharaja of Donjobi.
Yeah, great fun, if he can hold onto his own jewels, and hang onto to the key to get back into Spyglass House.

It has been a very long time since I have enjoyed a book this much. Rarely do I read a book twice, let alone twice in two weeks. But this book caught my interest and I enjoyed it so much that I just didn't want it to end. I'm in my mid 60's and have read for pleasure as long as I can remember and "Spyglass House" hit every note on my list of what makes a fun read. It's fast paced, inventive, surprising, and totally entertaining. If you are after a fun read, this is it. Give it a try. Bet you'll be waiting like me for the next adventure.Product details

Spyglass House The Jewels of Norpur Book 1 edition by Peter Abresch Literature Fiction eBooks Reviews
Peter knows how to keep a person from putting the book down.
I loved this book. I've read quite a few of this author's works and he has quite an imagination. This, I think, is one of the better ones because it opens the reader's imagination up to all sorts of possibilities. Let's see what he comes up with next.
I enjoyed this book very much. Author has a wonderful imagination with a lot of twists and turns and keeps the story moving at a nice clip! This is my second book by this author & I will be trying one of his other books next. I give it 5 stars because it's interesting all the way through!
A very twist into fantasy fiction.
An easy read and entertaining.
Enjoyed the fast pace and storyline.
Looking forward to book two.
Read other books by the author but I wasn't enthused about this book
I've read many of Peter's books--like them all--Spyglass house is just plain fun! I can't wait for volume 2--mostly to see how gullible Rex gets out of the next "adventure".
