This is another book in “Company” series by Kage Baker. I picked this one up because it was the one that my local neighboorhood mega-book-mart had on the shelf (Borders in Ann Arbor used to have an excellent sci-fi section, but in their obsession with making all of their stores exactly like one another they’ve completely gutted their genre fiction areas and they suck. I hate Borders, but I digress). This is actually book #4 in the series, and we’ve apparently missed a lot of important stuff that has happened to Mendoza, the central character that we met in book #1.
This is a pretty dark book. Lots of strange, rather bad things happen to characters that you kind of like after a while. Bad things are happening in humanity’s future, and the Company is behind it. Will we find out what is happening and why? Will we find out before the end of the book? Stay tuned till next time for more exciting developments…
