Having already read book one a couple of years ago it was interesting to reread it before diving into the following books.
Book one was just as enjoyable the second time around and the main characters Theron, Kendrick and Aldus are just as engaging and unique personalities as I remember.
The second book is quite different from the first being a short story set a few hundred years in the future, however, it does dovetail into the overall plot.
Book three sees us back with Theron, Ken and Aldus in a storyline which, unfortunately, I had trouble engaging with, though that is more down to personal issues I was dealing with while reading this book than the story itself, which built on the themes of the previous books to a tense, if somewhat gory climax, which may be too intense and vivid for the more delicate reader.
