The series is the favorite of someone whose book opinion I respect.

Perhaps I was warned off it by someone.<br /><br />I can recommend the Todd books. They are on my must read list. As soon as I hear there's a new one out, I immediately go looking for it.Fredhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10233846613173866140noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3185294584889963228.post-56216596991677804492012-10-26T16:27:31.687-04:002012-10-26T16:27:31.687-04:00You're welcome, Patti. :) I think you'll l...You're welcome, Patti. :) I think you'll like it.Yvettehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08919246184376538331noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3185294584889963228.post-45166749346206561092012-10-26T16:27:09.694-04:002012-10-26T16:27:09.694-04:00Yeah, this is a terrific read.

It has lots of stuff I normally don't like, but you know, it's all about the writing. <br /><br />If the writing is good and the story is compelling, I forgive all sins. :)<br /><br />Let us know what you think of Airth's other books - don't forget.Yvettehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08919246184376538331noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3185294584889963228.post-38814359484952855952012-10-26T16:12:53.720-04:002012-10-26T16:12:53.720-04:00This one is on my TBR pile.

I liked this so much I made a special effort to acquire the rest of the books by Airth. Through sheer luck I even stumbled upon a copy of his very first novel earlier this year -- a kidnap story that's been out of print since it was first published back in the 80s.J F Norrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06473487417479127354noreply@blogger.com
