Solid Snake to me is one of the greatest characters ever created. The history between this character and I go back a long way, and although unfortunately his creator has announced that Guns Of The Patriots will be the very last story in the Metal Gear world, I hope that many more books are written with this loveable character included, for I believe he is the greatest of his genre.

Sons of Liberty suffers from the same problem of blind faith to the original source material as the first Metal Gear Solid novel.

Beautiful story, reletively well written. This is just a second installment of a very intricate story that gets better with every layer you peel back from it. The characters are amazing.

I cannot wait for the third installment.

Still, an absolutely fantastic book on Raiden's struggles to stop many plots within plots, all revolving around the Patriot's control. Which reaches much farther than what anyone could imagine!
