This is the last volume before Warren Ellis picks the ball back up and runs with it in Gravel. It's certainly much better than its preceeding volume, but it's still not terribly clever. The promise of the first two volumes was not really delivered with Body Orchard or Strong Medicine. This volume picks up the pace a bit, puts a nice cap on the SAS storied of Mr. Gravel. A good read, but not ground-breaking.
