I enjoy 'Slim' Hardy though am constantly amazed how he gets as much done as he does, considering his problem. As usual the ending is not as expected and the route to it is convoluted. You definitely need to pay attention as you read but it is an allround satisfying book to read. I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.

This is the second book I've read by this author. The first was Slim's debut in "The Man and the Sea". Now I need to go back and read two, three and four. Very impressed with this series. Just a whopper of a catch!!! I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.
