REVIEWS OF THE BETRAYAL PATH:
Historical Novel Society
Steve Donoghue, February 1, 2016
“Allan Nashe, an English spy, is sent to Quebec to discover the state of French defenses during the Seven Years’ War. But within the pit of espionage, fate hands Nashe a conundrum.”
In Brian Van Norman’s expertly-researched and tightly-controlled debut, English spy Alan Nashe is called from his sordid relaxations in the resort town of Bath and sent on a new assignment: make the voyage to Quebec, then a hotbed of political activity in the years leading up to the famous death of General Wolfe on the Plains of Abraham, and spy for the Crown in the midst of the province’s treacherous cross-currents of espionage.
The novel is very much Nashe’s show, but Van Norman nevertheless does an excellent job of fleshing out his large cast of secondary characters, and he accomplishes this mostly through page after page of pitch-perfect dialogue and a good amount of wry, Flashman-style humor.

AMAZING book!!! The story is absolutely captivating from Page One! Phenomenally well written and researched to the most minute detail. The creatively, deeply developed characters and story line capture your heart and imagination right off the bat. I'm usually not a big history fan which makes it even more incredible that I fell in love with "The Betrayal Path'! My book club, especially my Canadian and upstate New York friends, are clambering to read this wonderful book! We're all hoping that Mr. Van Norman is working on writing more captivating historical adventures!!!
