Best from him I've read so far. Same beautiful prose and oddly chilling characters. The stories that foreshadow the future are incredibly well written and tucked away so that if you aren't focused, it's easy to skip over the small details.
This one definitely took some turns that I didn't see coming and really made me want more.
Great book! Will be picking up the third in the trilogy ASAP.
Good to know. I've put it on my reading list.
Halfway through The Right Stuff now...

question for you military history types: has anyone ever read
one of the few books about simo hayha, the finnish super-sniper
from the russo-finnish winter war? i've been looking for one for
quite a while ... they're like $800 (yeah, eight hundred) on amazon.

probably not what you are looking for, but try abebooks.com - great source for buying books on the cheap, I usually use amazon for my "wish list" and then go buy from abebooks...

**edit, yes, the book you are looking for is at the bottom, $750

yup ... that's the one. thanks for looking it up. that's about the price i've seen
pretty much anywhere its available. i'm guessing my local library isn't going to
have one on the shelf.

not sure. its published in finnland, but i've heard someone say
that you can contact the finnish publisher and get it for less.
i haven't investigated that pathway yet.

Are the trilogy books related in any specific way or plot, or just the theme of life on the border?

Just started "Dune" by Frank Herbert... well, I'm 450 pages in because I cannot put this thing down! Excellent so far. Stoked that there are six in the series.
I've been referencing the glossary in the appendix at times, thinking about reading the whole of the appendicies (sp?)
Should I wait until I finish the book to guard against spoilers?
