But for K.J. Parker I added the other titles on my buying list :)<BR/><BR/>Zoe, it is one of the great contenders for the Gemmell award in my opinion :)<BR/><BR/>Michael, thank you very much :)<BR/>Maybe you can try to read a few excerpts from "The Company" to make a better opinion. I know that I try this method when I don't know what to make of a title.<BR/><BR/>Barbara, thank you very much :)<BR/>And I like too from time to time things that are different and realistic.Mihai A.https://www.blogger.com/profile/08534691063946241019noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3991760003960066476.post-41177698188798730882009-02-17T09:02:00.000+02:002009-02-17T09:02:00.000+02:00Mihai, because you mentioned the attention to deta...Mihai, because you mentioned the attention to detail in this book I'll be looking for it the next time I go book shopping.

After reading the book it became apparent that the tagline is meant to imply something much more subtle, something on the order of PTSD.Greyweatherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05546347316848518932noreply@blogger.com
