- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Well it’s not The Thorn Birds, and it starts well, slows down with some heaviness, and then picks up steam.
Richard Morgan is a complex man and we grow to like and know him through the eyes of others.
There’s adventure, drama, romance, history and culture to be enjoyed.
Glad I read it.1 person found this helpful
