Ratings and reviews

Another Silva book awesomely written. My only problem was that I read it after the next book in line. I wish I had been able to read the first books through to the one, "Black Widow". This has happened about three times now. lol I have very much enjoyed Mr Silva's writing, and think I now have all but maybe o e of his books. God bless and keep you, and keep you writing!!! :-) :-) :-). It was the "Marching Season", that I read before this one............

Enjoyed the writing and characters very much. Am a big fan of the Gabrial Anon books but this was a good start to a new series.
