[Joe Stack · Rating 4 out of 5]

This is a quickly paced well-told all engrossing story. It is has a larger cast of characters and points of view than expected. It’s a tale I think readers will not want to put down as I experienced. Mr. Zimmer immerses the reader in the land, among the characters, and in the suspenseful action.

It started slow but got more interesting as I read further. Enjoyed the detail of the chase.
