Through a well-crafted narrative, the author offers readers a deep insight into the challenges faced by diplomats in the rapidly evolving global stage.

The plot of Parlous Times revolves around the protagonist, John Chandler, an experienced and highly skilled diplomat who finds himself entangled in a web of political intrigue and power struggles. As he navigates through the treacherous waters of international diplomacy, Chandler encounters a multitude of formidable characters, each with their own agendas and hidden motivations.

One of the standout aspects of this book is the meticulous attention to detail in portraying the inner workings of diplomacy.
