## Review
#### Cover
Great matching cover to the rest of the series and most importantly they stand out on the shelf.
#### Initial Draw
This is the first standalone after the First Law trilogy so is a must read for anyone who loved the trilogy. It has just enough linkages to the trilogy while also working well as a standalone that could be read (or watched with the upcoming TV series) without having read any other "First Law" books.
#### Characters
Nobody writes characters like Joe. You can tell the character without their name ever being uttered by his excellent portrayals and mannerisms.
Shivers does an excellent job of filling the lead character role despite his relatively brief involvement in the first trilogy.
#### Pacing
With an almost 700 page book the pacing is expertly handled with fast and medium portions expertly weaved to keep things flowing. None of it slowed down sufficiently to make it feel like it was dragging on.
#### Finish line feeling
Excellent. Can't wait for the TV show and I can't wait to read the rest of the first law series and Joe's new book "The Devils"
