Review title: After a real flogging, this horse is finally dead!
Product review: Turtledove must have had a golfing appointment and needed to finish his excellent Word War series in a hurry.After three exciting books, this final volume was a real let down, with main characters being led through one pointless situation after another until they either died a trivial death or just dissapeared in a puff of banality. I have found that epic, multi volume series are very difficult for authors to finish off as well as they began them (such as Kim Stanley Robinson's Mars series), and this one is no different.Unfulfilling and ultimately a grab for cash is the unfortunate fate of this work.
