Ok. So, a bit of a stretch because Ryan, a force of nature suddenly is ok with taking the role of subordinate etc... oh and also all lingo associated with a sailor. If you're a fan of the series it seems to be a theme that pops up every so often but this takes it to new heights. Jack is non-existent as well as all our boon characters though Doc makes a good showing. However, it was a damn fine read and since this series is all about escapism, I've read every single one from worst to best, this rates up around the best written. Who doesn't enjoy an evil rapist bent on violating poor Ricky in a not very romantic way, oops. I'm stopping cause the outcome everyone deserves to read. Don't worry though, no dramatic, ummm, role changes?? Buy this book. It's a blast and we know how it ends. Hell the next books are already out. So CHEERS fellow Deathlanders!!
