When Walker reaches Greece and recruits several of their greater kinglets to his cause, the people of Nantucket have no choice. If they are to save the primitive world from being plunged into bloodshed on a twentieth-century scale, they must defeat Walker at his own game: war.]]>

    <body><![CDATA[In the same line as the first book in the series, but perhaps too close to that first book to stand out by itself. It felt like it dragged a bit at parts, just setting up the stage for the third book. Mind you, it's not enough to keep me from wanting to read that third book, which I plan to do soon....<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/55951641">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[This was most definatly a middle book in a series...  there was a lot of story build-up that wasn't needed, and overall was difficult to get through.  Not so difficult as to not read the third... but, I nearly put this series down for sheer boredom. ]]></body>

When Walker reaches Greece and recruits several of their greater kinglets to his cause, the people of Nantucket have no choice. If they are to save the primitive world from being plunged into bloodshed on a twentieth-century scale, they must defeat Walker at his own game: war.]]>
