I haven't read the previous books nor do I plan to. It's nothing against him - just a case of too many books and not enough time.<BR/><BR/>Just from book #3, I think #2 might be a better jump-off point.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20796627.post-1168575403687944042007-01-11T22:16:00.000-06:002007-01-11T22:16:00.000-06:00I don't want to put words in your mouth, but it se...I don't want to put words in your mouth, but it seems like you essentially liked Ron Peters' writing (although perhaps I'm reading too much into your "good ear for dialog" and "amusing wisecracks" comments), but had problems with his plotting and characterization. If my understanding is correct, did you feel the same about the prior two novels in the series (if you read them; I wasn't positive from your review). I myself haven't read any of Peters' books; I'm just trying to decide if they're worth investigating, and if maybe a different book in the series is a better jumping-in point.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
