Summary: Totally enjoyed this book.
Review: This was my first Lasher book and it won't be the last. It kept me guessing through the entire story. I did have a hard time getting all the characters straight but once I did I could not put the book down.

Summary: A most talented writer with larger-than-life ambition
Review: What made me think during reading this book was that Victor Carl's eyes seemed to permanently recover from his old weakness, i.e., very easy to wet by other people's insult. But in this book, the hero seemed to become a totally different person, more attorney but less humanbeing. The writing was smooth and almost as good as Nelson Demille's "GOLD COAST"(but not his "Plum Island"--which was a nuisance and downride), full of witty sentences that made me smile. The plot was also fine, yet making the hero become a totally different person--althoght still craving success and richness--was a twist that the author should be carefully worked out in his next Victor Carl series. I strongly suggest Mr. Lashner to change to other venues of his 3rd-up novels, because talented as he is, he could write anything, any kind of hero or heroine as he choose and not necessarily has to stick to the complicated-yet-become-more-vague Victor Carl. To have such gifted new writer on the bookshelves is absolutely a blessing to our world readers.
