This is the most recent Don Brown novel that I have read, and my least favorite. But, for the style of book that it is, it is not bad. The short chapter style of his books usually make them have a page-turner, edge-of-your-seat quality that I found lacking in this book. Maybe I just preferred the religious context in the previous books more interesting than the political undertones in this one. Either way, if you enjoyed the first books and are looking for a quick read, you will enjoy this one.
