You have to look for the rockand hard place themes some. The flow was fast but good. Very good entry for a Die Hard action story. Enjoyed hearing the story of an inquisitor.

An adventurous and engaging piece filled with suspense, dynamic characters, and a setting that captivates the reader's imagination. It beautifully captures the theme, putting the protagonist squarely between a rock and a hard place multiple times.

You have the makings of an adventure series here for the thief-entrepreneur  with his own Javert

That was really enjoyable! Very amusing story and a nice take on a roguish adventurer. Very well done.
