That said, I thought it was an excellent book in terms of setting, characters, etc., and I probably would read more of the series.skiourophilehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08200877834536477400noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2109031751968258131.post-39931923725567896992015-06-03T08:14:57.763-07:002015-06-03T08:14:57.763-07:00Tracy - thanks for tipping me off to these....I th...Tracy - thanks for tipping me off to these....I think :) - I'm obviously hoping I like them, but maybe not too much! col2910https://www.blogger.com/profile/06422138069939709043noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2109031751968258131.post-35632211924952470012015-06-03T08:04:50.347-07:002015-06-03T08:04:50.347-07:00Thanks for the mention, Col.

I have several more in the series, including Nightmare Range, but still haven't found a copy of the third one. I do hope you like them.

It is an intriguingly exotic setting isn't it?
