There is a tendency for repetitive 'lecturing' on moral absolutes which can get tiresome. Character John Delano seems to have the ability to know the 'truth' - an ability which exceeds all other's ability to make honest or honourable decisions.

The plot is terrific - I sped to the end to see how it resolves.

Well, mostly well written stories which I enjoyed. Found it repetitive and gave up halfway through the second half. A bit gimmicky.
