Thanks for that. I've been trying to cut down on book buying so much
that I didn't realise this one had been published. Now ordered.

I don't think it was quite as good as the first one of the
trilogy ("Thirteenth Child") but still a very good read.
Everything got wrapped up pretty good at the end.

The middle book was "Across the Great Barrier". It was
not as good as the first, but again a good read.

I slightly preferred the second to the first. (I've not yet

I pre-ordered my copy, but my wife got the mail that day, so I had to
wait a couple of days to read it until she finished it.

I agree about "Across the Great Barrier". I'll have to wait and see
about the other; Amazon say they have already shipped it.
