There is not a single Mongo book that can be given a rank of less than 4 stars, and this one is no exception.In fact , it is one of the finest of the series. For those of you who have never read one of the Mongo books do not read this one first.In fact, it is unwise to read them in any manner except in the order in which they were written.This novel continues to develop the wonderful characters that Mr. Chesbro introduced with " The Shadow of a Broken Man".The pace , as always, is fast, and our heroes will go through much pain before the end of the tale is written. Do yourself a favour and get "Shadow" and read it. Whodunnit, whoizzeee,mystery,fantasy,action,adventure,and one of the most extraordinary characters introduced in modern fiction (no exaggeration).If you enjoy it, get the other books in the series and read them in order.As much as you'll enjoy this book on its own, when read after following the series through to this point it is that much better a book. I'd rank it a 4.7 stars if read on its own and a 5 star book when read as part of the series.
