I was looking forward to this series but don't know if I will continue. This book is about 95% short sentences of conversation, a format I have never liked and would be most appreciated by those who like short, quick reads with little description. In fact, I don't even know what the main character, Gareth, looks like. Maybe that was in one of the parts I skimmed over! It's not that it is a boring book, but politics and interagency squabbling gets old fast.

This is the second in the series I've tried. Like the Egyptian setting and I he characterizations. Plots, not surprisingly, are primarily political, not really my copy and f tea, but enjoyable , all. In all
