Excellent, though I’m clearly biased having loved all nine of the preceding books in the series. A fine mix of sea, geography, anthropology, conflict, nature, the wide world and the occasional ruse de guerre. Highly recommended. If you’re considering ...more "

“Some totalitarians prefer to conceal themselves behind the machinery of the state, but, like the cannibal who lovingly cradles his victim as he digs around for his heart, Stalin liked conversing with his terrorized children. He was an intimate murderer.”

“Jesus to Pilate:
"The trouble is," the bound man went on, not stopping by anyone, "that you are too closed off and have definitely lost faith in people. You must agree, one can't place all one's affection in a dog. Your life is impoverished, Hegemon.”
