DESCRIPTION:
Rania Melhem said Fun read. A good book, id read it a long time ago. Its a bit dated, but still fun toread. I don't know if I subconsciously remembered it or if the big bad was telegrahed , but o knew the identity of the Controller was pretty obvious from about half way through the book.. Sidney's amazing for all I really like all of Sidney's books. He makes sinking into the story so very easy. I only detest that the stories end, but I suppose it helps me get to the next one. Always well done. Kona said Death and diplomacy.
