This may well be the greatest book I have ever read. Themes running passionately side by side like great stallions racing. Characters battles with their nature, within their own nature, where such battles can only take place, start at the outset and do not let go till the last word is drawn, before the denouement settles the book in place. Velera is an author I had never heard of. To say the least, I am glad he put pen to page and glad more I was lucky enough to stumble upon his writing.
