The writing style of this book is reminiscent of the pulp fiction of the earlier part of the 20th century. This book has a simple, yet engrossing, plot line with an heroic protagonist squaring off against a truly dastardly villain. The main characters are supported by realistically portrayed cohorts.

There is plenty of action and blood in this book with a story line that keeps the reader wrapped up in the adventures of Lucius, Lindari, and Amazonia. While not "great literature", this is a fun book and will be thoroughly enjoyed by lovers of action and thrills. ( )
