Well, this was odd. So far this was the weirdest book in the mini-serie of them. Lots of "there's no hurry" and just post-lunch "we need to hurry" things going on, too much explaining of things that didn't need that much explaining and so on. Once again women are perfectly attached to the Mr. Agent and his loved one is practically a slave of his, pleased to please him.

The third book in the four-volume series. The start is a bit tiresome due to the repetitions – once again we should follow the split of thoughts of another mind starting almost word-by-word from the previous books. Then we move to Charon, Looks like hell as their explorer said. On this world the warden organism gives people a kind of psionics masquerading as magic.
Interesting and original even if a bit old-fashioned SF novel.
