content: I really like this book. I found myself invested in liking certain characters, and disliking certain others, because the character development was so well done. It was accomplished subtly, so as not to bombard you with needless minutiae. The suspense builds throughout several congruent story lines, to hold your interest, and make the reader wonder what will happen next, or what will the outcome be. I would recommend this book to anyone who likes suspense, strong characters, who have a strong ethical presence, and a love of having your imagination activated!
