Reviews

[Andrew Johnston · Rating 4 out of 5]

Pretty good follow up to No Country, but as its been a while since i read No Country, i would have preferred a recap at the start rather than the opening scene being part of the ending of the book. Good, reflective of the times we live in and accessible it should be a better known series than it is.
