Jim Butcher continues what he has done for the last few books of jumping in right were he left off in the previous books. You definitely feel he is moving towards his over arching climax, moving pieces of his story around towards the finally of this Magnum Opus.

Not as good as Murderbot, but has some interesting twists. Worth picking up.

Impressive first novel. I can see why his father, Jim Butcher, is so proud of him. Having said that you can see the heavy influence of his father in his work here. I'm looking forward to reading more in his series and seeing his growth as a writer in the future.

Not a bad read. It's very much a Time After Time/Upstairs downstairs/Outlander vibe going on.

I've read most everything W. E. B. Griffin has written over the years. None of them I would say are great literature. I always view them more as brain candy, something to read and pass the time over the holidays. This one wasn't bad. Like many of his books, it follows a certain formula with bureaucratic backroom fighting mixed in with some bit of arcane history set in the shady world of Black Programs, but enjoyable never the less. I didn't care for the love interest in this book. I found her to be very unbelievable, in general I see her character as a Macguffin, an irrelevant plot mover that took up to much space in this book. I could of dealt without her. This is probably the last of the Presidential Agent Books in that he has drawn to conclusion many of the plot themes of this series of books. If your thinking of reading this, maybe wait for the paperback to come out
