This was another
quick read. You really want to read the previous books in the series
before reading this one in order to fully understand and appreciate
what is going on. In this episode Lance and his new Prime body buddy
have to learn to work together, which would be a lot easier if Lance
was the sort of guy who could share. Lance has to make some more
close calls, follow his instincts, and walk a bit in faith in order
to meet back up with his battle buddies.
That plan, as one
might expect in a war of Primes, does not go exactly as planned, but
he does make some new allies and learns a shocking, or perhaps not so
shocking, truth. Tony has been lost but now he is found, and Lance is
not a happy man.
I was pleased with
how the characters continue to grow and develop, and with the way the
new characters are introduced into the storyline. It reminds me a bit
of folding the batter versus stirring it, to borrow from baking
terminology. The books are feeling like they are getting a bit longer
than the previous ones in the series. There is more meat in these
later episodes. Perhaps it is because the stakes are so high, and
there is so much more to take care of now that we are running at
speed.
