Reviews

[Dennis A Engelhard · Rating 1 out of 5]

Disgraceful attempt and disrespectful to the loyal fans of the series

This was not even close to the character we have followed for over forty years, the writer must not have done any research, a character such as what was portrayed here would never have sold a 2nd book, I do not recommend it.

I loved it ! But I am sad that this may be the last one. I have been reading Iongarm since the very first issue. I will miss it. Thank you Taber Evans for all the great reading.

I chose the rating because I liked the book. I liked every thing about it. The fact that it may be the last one is hard to believe after so long.
