Review title: Excellent sequel to Birds of Prey!
Product review: I was hesitant to read this book because I didn't think that Smith could outdo Birds of Prey. I was pleasantly surprised to find out that he could and did with Monsoon. This is one heck of an adventure story. There's a little bit of everything in it -- danger, adventure, intrigue, romance, and treachery. And fortunately, Smith does a great job of tying it all together into a coherent, very enjoyable story. My only "complaint" is that I thought ending was a tad rushed -- but that's likely because I didn't want it to end. The ending does leave an opening for a sequel, but it's not the type of ending that leaves you hanging. It just leaves you wanting more. I listened to an unabridged audiobook version of the book, with David Case as the reader. As usual, Case does a good job portraying the characters and their emotions. I recommend the book.
