Why read it?
1 author picked The Overseer as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
This book is a big box thriller that I love, where the fate of the world rests on the shoulders of a simple man. In this case, he’s an academic professor decoding a medieval manuscript that will upset the world order. I was hooked by the out-of-their-depth hero in this story.

From Simon's list on out-of-their-depth heroes.
