The stories and characters are superior-no doubt the result of considerable research.Top of the line descriptive narrative.What an adventure! It begins like a Robert E.

I love the way it smoothly transitions from the past to the present and back.It is like Marathon Man, with all of the independent stories set in foreign countries, then weaving the separate strands together.
