What a great book. I'll write up a review for it tomorrow.
That's book #2 down so far this year, which I'm excited about. I'm sure my pace will slow some once it gets nice out again, but until then I'm going to keep riding the momentum.

I'm just under halfway through this one and am loving it so far. I'm not surprised at the big events that have taken place so far, but the details that have lead to this point in the story have been incredible.

This topic would probably make for an amazing read with cooperation from all of the major players. Here's to hoping Guenther Steiner writes a book some day.
