Drew McCaffrey said: " After a bit of a letdown in Dread Brass Shadows, Cook has absolutely returned to form in Red Iron Nights. This book is a rollicking, fun, and intense ride from the start through the final (hilarious) line. "

Probably the weakest Garrett book so far. Still entertaining, especially in the last third, but the central mystery was less compelling than in previous books.

Drew’s Quotes

“We believe that we invent symbols. The truth is that they invent us; we are their creatures, shaped by their hard, defining edges. When soldiers take their oath they are given a coin, an asimi stamped with the profile of the Autarch. Their acceptance of that coin is their acceptance of the special duties and burdens of military life—they are soldiers from that moment, though they may know nothing of the management of arms. I did not know that then, but it is a profound mistake to believe that we must know of such things to be influenced by them, and in fact to believe so is to believe in the most debased and superstitious kind of magic. The would-be sorcerer alone has faith in the efficacy of pure knowledge; rational people know that things act of themselves or not at all.”
― Gene Wolfe, Shadow & Claw
