Why read it?
1 author picked Earth as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
This is the second of four books (two of which are yet to be published). I actually read them in the wrong order but that does not matter. The books are linked via characters: (a minor character from the first book is the principle protagonist in the second). As is to be expected from this author, he deals with sensitive topical subjects in a way that brings them to life with strong characters and emotional engagement.
