The story continues in the Struggle for Authority, and it doesn’t disappoint. Whilst I’m wary of giving away too much in a review that could spoil the plot for new readers, the book does a fine job of building on the characters depicted in the previo ...more

Easily the best Steinbeck novel I've come across to date. I don't think Steinbeck wrote this for the sake of being adored as an author...he wrote it because he had something that needed to be said. And that's one of the reasons it's so good. ...more

This is a worthy sequel, leading immediately on from the end of the first book to tackle a number of plot threads that continue to develop. The characters, of course, develop with them, culminating in both a satisfying showdown and a sudden tragedy t ...more
