Rating:  Summary: 'Shadowman' is alright, but I've read better. Review: I like the way the author teaches you about the Salt Wars, because I like learning new things. I'd never heard of the Salt Wars, so that made it better. However, if I'd already been an expert on them, I probably would have chosen another book.
