Great read. A little slower paced in nature, but it captured the feel of an old autobiography, particularly one in the vein of the historic African Adventurer. Very enjoyable. I'm curious where Brennan intends to go with this as a series. This is an entirely stand alone book, and neither needs a follow up, nor left any loose ends untied. I hope it won't be too episodic or repetitive, but I will certainly read another.
