In all, the plot seemed very unfocused, with Zen wandering all over the place. I honestly felt as if Dibdin was not putting much effort into this novel.

I didn't realize this was the second of a two book story and I haven't read the first book. It certainly would have been better if I had read the first one. I will give this author another chance because I liked the main characters.

4.0

Better than usual detours and unexpected moments. While somewhat arrogantly macho the character maintains a sympathetic perspective on humans and a fairly critical/cynical view of his own motivations. This makes the read a bit better. I read this book sort of "out of turn" and found it stands alone pretty well but it does address some critical events in the protagonists' development. Not great literature but a nice escape.
